Hydrocarbon potential of the Tertiary succession of Intermontane Basins of the Cordillera: preliminary conceptual synthesis of background data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The hydrocarbon potential of the Tertiary intermontane basins of southern British Columbia has never been seriously studied, and is currently poorly understood. Aside from minor hydrocarbon exploration in Kishenehn Basin, only limited coal exploration (mostly in the earlier part of the 20th century) has been attempted in these basins, and they must be viewed as rank frontier prospects, but situated near important markets. The fault-bounded basins are geographically small, geologically complex and their potential is currently poorly constrained. A relatively high regional geothermal gradient, abundant sandstone reservoir facies, known thick lacustrine source rock mudstones, abundant coals, the presence of shows in one basin, an extensive regional seal of Plateau Basalts and the location near populous markets are all positive factors, suggesting significant potential. Conversely, a simple lack of knowledge makes petroleum system analysis very difficult, until further data are available. This will require concerted geological and geophysical field work and several stratigraphic test wells in each basin.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
