Abstract
Abstract A solvent enhanced steam drive pilot has been executed in the Peace River area in Canada, where co-injection of steam and solvent was deployed in two inverted 5-spot 5-acre steam drive patterns. The results were compared to two adjacent patterns were only steam was injected. The pilot involved extensive metering and sampling surveillance during 1.5 years. After several months of starting the steam drive a large slug of solvent was injected, subsequently followed by steam drive. Several challenges emerged with respect to data accuracy and acquisition, inherent to the first deployment of this technology and of the pilot being a brown field project. To overcome these issues, a data uncertainty management plan was made aided by reservoir simulation. The pilot demonstrated significant bitumen uplift due to solvent injection and solvent recovery from the reservoir in line with expectations. A reservoir simulation model with sound physical principles was constructed confirming bitumen uplift estimates and solvent recovery trends seen in the field.

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
