Abstract
This study uses physical and geochemical characteristics of crude oil samples representing the Cretaceous and Palaeogene reservoir sequence of the Melut Basin, southern Sudan to gain information about source rock properties, including organic matter characters, depositional environment and thermal maturity. The overall results show that the Melut Basin's oils have API values between 14.6° and 33.3° and indicate that most of oils are not biodegraded; except one heavy oil sample with low API gravity of 14.6°, which is likely biodegraded. The studied oils were generated from clay‐rich source rocks, containing a blend of organic matter derived primarily from a mixed organic matter of aquatic and terrestrial origin and deposited in a lacustrine setting under suboxic to relatively oxic conditions as demonstrated by their biomarker and carbon isotopic compositions ( δ 13 C). The biomarker maturity indicators show that most of the Melut Basin's oils were generated in the main stage of oil generation, exhibiting a range of peak‐mature to late‐mature. The biomarker environmental indicators reveal that the shale source rocks of the Al‐Gayger and Galhak formations contributed to these oil samples.

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
