Abstract
Abstract The Viking formation in Western Saskatchewan and East to Central Alberta is comprised of many different oil pools. These plays have seen resurgence in activity over the last 6 years as a result of the horizontal multi-stage fracturing revolution. A wide variety of fracturing technologies have been applied, encompassing open versus cased hole, variable proppant tonnage per stage and fracture spacing along the wellbore. How does the average company make meaningful decisions as to how to stimulate their wells? There is a need to make sense of the production response of the wells given reservoir quality differences, primarily permeability variation, and the variety of fracturing technologies being applied. The paper will develop a workflow which integrates publically available production data to first identify a production rate metric. This metric can be used for production forecasting and as a basis to compare area and pool production performance. Combining this information with well ownership leads to a preliminary assessment of whether production success is due solely to the reservoir, or the drilling and completion strategy applied.

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
