The New Oil Order: The Post Staples Paradigm and the Canadian Upstream Oil and Gas Industry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The history of the industry can be divided in four different phases: the semi-colonial period of 1867-1930; the era of multinational domination, 1930-1969; the withdrawal of the multi-nationals and the Canadianization of the industry, 1969-1985; and a fourth, current, era in the evolution of Canada’s oil and natural gas industry beginning with the switch to non-conventional oil recovery, the rise of natural gas as the dominant segment of the industry and the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement which guaranteed a reliable market for Canada’s oil and natural gas The re-entry of the federal government into the provincial oil and gas industry through the Kyoto Protocol has challenged the free-market continentalism that has dominated the Canadian oilpatch since the mid 1980s and the beginning of a new phase of environmental regulation in the industry.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
