Abstract
Abstract Identification of fault related microseismicity in hydraulic fracture treatments is crucial to understanding how treatments are stimulating a reservoir. Evaluating b values in combination with event source mechanism provides a reliable and intuitive method for separating fault related microseismic events from standard fracture related events. Typically this analysis is conducted after a treatment is complete and serves as a diagnostic tool to provide possible explanations for reduced production or designing future treatments on nearby wells to avoid an identified fault feature. Being able to identify such features in real time allows the operator to not only identify faults but to stop treatment and avoid these features all together saving time and materials that would otherwise be pumped into an area that doesn’t contribute to the overall stimulation of the reservoir, and could reduce production on the well. When evaluating b-values in real time, a technique that can identify faulting early in the initiation of fault stimulation is crucial for preserving the most resources during treatment.

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
