Comparing depositional environments and porous zones in the 400 million-year-old sabkhas of subsurface Alberta
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using subsurface core and well logs, a comparison of sedimentary deposits in evaporite-containing formations of the Devonian hypersaline seas of Alberta was done. Thin sections from the Nisku Formation were examined using a petrographic microscope to determine how and when brine and hydrocarbons moved through two porous zones, identified by well logs from the same area. These two zones within core and thin sections were compared with other zones from which only well logs were available. Through measurements of the porosity, permeability, and timing of diagenesis from petrography, it is determined that areas of high neutron and density log responses correlate with cemented zones within the core. This research has a direct impact on the understanding of how evaporitic facies can cause different responses within well logs. Our understanding of how well logs, accompanied by core and thin section analysis, can give insight into the movement of fluids and gases in subsurface Alberta is also aided. * Indicates faculty mentor.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
