Improvements that resulted in the success are detailed and explained.Abandonment processes included identification, using tilt-meter events, of holes in casing and/or casing parting. Temperature surveys and/or radioactive surveys confirmed and located depth of the hole in the casing. Specific procedures were then followed to abandon the well below the part, at the part, and then above the part in the casing. Inspection and testing of the casing were also conducted to help ensure that additional holes were not present in the casing before the abandonment was complete. In the rare instances that additional holes were found, they were squeezed off separately with cement. Key to the success of this procedure was squeezing thixotropic cement instead of setting balanced plugs across zones of interest. This method allowed for short turn-around times to resume operations and helped ensure that the cement remained where it was originally placed.

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.
