Abstract
Abstract Stakeholders in the in-situ oilsands development take the caprock integrity issues very seriously. The industry is faced with the challenge of determining an optimal operating pressure in the reservoir. In general, the pressure should stay low enough to ensure the caprock integrity while being high enough for enhanced oil production and economics. This paper presents a comprehensive work program on the subject for a shallow oilsands play. Caprock integrity is concerned about the induced stress and deformation in the caprock during the thermal stimulation of the oilsands reservoir. A mini-frac test program was undertaken to define the original in-situ stress state. Laboratory tests were carried out to measure the deformation and strength properties. Simulations were run to calculate the induced stresses and evaluate them against the mechanical strength. Consequently, a factor of safety is delivered for a given operating pressure. This paper will cover all these geomechanical work components. Both field data and theoretical considerations are included to augment the technical descriptions.

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
