Abstract
To ensure continued economic success of drilling new wells in maturing gas or oil fields, it is often necessary to find methods to reduce well costs or to improve stimulation efficiency. Imperial Oil Resources applied the emerging technologies of grass-roots coiled tubing drilling and coiled tubing fracturing in the Tilley Milk River Gas Unit. This paper will describe the impact of these new technologies on well economics and production.In 2000, grass-roots coiled tubing drilling was used on 9 wells in the Tilley field. Drilling costs were 15% below estimates. Coiled tubing fracturing was also applied to the wells drilled in 2000. First year average gas productivity was 50% higher than expectations, leading to investment reappraisals indicating that well reserves were 30% above previous estimates. In 2001 an additional 25 wells were fracture stimulated with coiled tubing also showing increased production rates.

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
