Solids production predictions were made based on core measurements, log analysis, simulators that predict formation failure and sand production rate, laboratory core flow tests, 2 years of field shakeout data, and multiple field measurements of solids production.Probabilistic predictions were then generated based on these investigations rather than deterministic "best guesses" for the economic analysis.These different methods for predicting solids production will be discussed and illustrated in this case study.The study and ensuing strategy determined that sand management or using non-sand exclusion slotted liners and sand tolerant facilities was the highest value development scenario over the life cycle of the North Slope Heavy Oil Developments.

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.
