Abstract
Abstract Accurate well testing is required for making intelligent decisions on oil and gas production wells. This paper reports on an effort to assess the application of multiphase metering technology to high water-cut (75+% water) and high volume production wells, as found in many North American Mid-Continent brown fields. A portable multiphase oil, water and gas production well tester was designed and field tested for these wells. Key components of the trailer mounted and battery operated tester are: a compact gas-liquid cylindrical cyclonic (GLCC) separator with control valves, GLCC bypass valving, coriolis liquid meter, infrared water-cut meter, vortex shedding gas meter and a data acquisition unit. One key finding is that separation is not needed in many such applications, thereby significantly reducing the size, weight and cost of future testers. This is due to the inherent downhole well separation and annulus venting used in most such well configurations along with specific coriolis/water-cut meter combinations allowing accurate measurements with gas content up to 10 to 20% GVF.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
