Log ASCII Standard or LAS Files are a commonly used format within the oil and gas industry. They are used to store and transfer geological, petrophysical, and well log data.

In this video, I show you what a LAS file is, what it contains and how to explore its contents using a Python library called lasio.

The notebook for this video can be found on my GitHub repository at: https://github.com/andymcdgeo/Andys_Y...
