Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Summary As a couple of discoveries were made along the Pyrenean foothills a permit covering a large part of North Aquitaine was awarded 100% in 1951 to the Standard Oil of New Jersey. In 1954 the 2nd well was drilled and discovered right ahead the largest oil field of Aquitaine (250Mbo). Esso-Rep created to exploit the field found another 7 smaller fields totalling about 150Mbo. This golden age was followed by a long period of disappointments in the offshore and South Aquitaine. Hopefully activity resumed in the 90’s with a return to homeland Parentis and a few minor discoveries. In 2004 another failure sounded the end of exploration in Aquitaine and soon in France. Esso-Rep was sold in 2006 to Vermilion, a Canadian company. The second part of this review presents the major achievement of Esso-Rep exploration in Aquitaine, the discovery of the Parentis Basin, a previously unknown failed arm of the rift system.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
