Confidence legend. Each result is tagged by parameter provenance: ● FIRM (core-calibrated) · ◐ QUALIFIED (offset-derived) · ○ BRACKETED (regional/global default — read as a range, dominant uncertainty stated). The system does not claim *always correct*; it states how well-supported each number is.
1. Executive summary
⚠️ ABSTENTION — this is NOT a confident estimate. The run did not converge to a defensible result; the numbers below are an uncalibrated engineering estimate, reported for transparency only:
- 1 unresolved MECHANICAL objection(s)
⚠️ ABSTENTION — this is NOT a confident estimate. The run did not converge to a defensible result; the numbers below are an uncalibrated engineering estimate, reported for transparency only: 1 unresolved MECHANICAL objection(s). Well 15-135-25990-00-00 encountered a thin, moderately clean reservoir within a 476.0 m gross interval, where net-to-gross is 0.104 and the pay section carries average effective porosity of 0.210, water saturation of 0.331, and shale volume of 0.130. Net pay is bracketed across a wide range — 22.4 m at P10, 47.9 m at P50, and 97.9 m at P90 — because the formation-water resistivity (Rw) used here is an uncalibrated regional default, and its 30.8 m swing is the dominant uncertainty in net pay. Two validator objections were raised, one of them an unresolved mechanical objection, and the interpretation did not converge, so these results should be treated as a provisional bracket rather than a firm point estimate. Net pay P10 / P50 / P90 = 22.4 / 47.9 / 97.9 m. Net pay is dominated by 'Rw', which is a regional DEFAULT (uncalibrated). This is the single largest uncertainty — the result is bracketed, not a confident point estimate.

5. Per-curve log QC
- GR baseline: gr_p5=27.3, gr_p95=100.5
- Bad-hole: GOOD=0.748, DEGRADED=0.21, EXCLUDED=0.041
- Low-resistivity: rt_threshold=1.33, n_flagged=836, intervals=[[292.0, 293.7], [300.7, 356.9], [361.6, 366.4], [418.9, 419.4], [435.1, 435.3], [438.0, 439.8], [478.1, 484.6], [495.3, 496.8], [501.9, 503.1], [508.1, 512.5]]
6. Data preparation
Edits applied before compute (by type): degradation: 2, hard_range_mask: 4, range_warn: 2, spike_removal: 134, unit_conversion: 1.
7. Interval definition
- Logged interval: 59.44–1376.17 m
- Analysis window (analyst-restricted): 900.0–1376.0 m — gross and NTG are measured over this window
- Gross evaluated interval: 476.0 m
- Computed net-pay runs (pre-merge): 41
- Zonation is computed by depth (no formation tops in LAS).
8. Methodology
All numbers are produced by the deterministic, golden-tested engine. The LLM only selects methods/parameters and writes prose — it never computes a number. Figures are deterministic renderings of these computed numbers for the human reader; the agent reasons over the numeric EDA digest, not images (the models have no vision).
| Step | Method (frozen) | Version |
|---|---|---|
| Vsh | Larionov 1969 (old rocks) | vsh_larionov_old 0.1.0 |
| PHIE | Density-neutron crossplot, shale-corrected | phie_density_neutron 0.1.0 |
| Sw | Poupon-Leveaux 1971 (Indonesia) | sw_indonesia 0.1.0 |
| Net pay | Vsh/PHIE/Sw cutoffs → net sand → net reservoir → net pay | netpay 0.1.0 |
| Uncertainty | Monte Carlo P10/P50/P90 + parameter sensitivity | mc 0.1.0 |
9. Gamma-ray analysis
- Clean baseline gr_min = 20.0 API · shale gr_max = 120.0 API
- Shale index IGR = (GR − gr_min)/(gr_max − gr_min), the basis for Vsh.
- GR baseline check: gr_p5=27.3, gr_p95=100.5
10. Resistivity analysis
Low-resistivity scan: rt_threshold=1.33, n_flagged=836, intervals=[[292.0, 293.7], [300.7, 356.9], [361.6, 366.4], [418.9, 419.4], [435.1, 435.3], [438.0, 439.8], [478.1, 484.6], [495.3, 496.8], [501.9, 503.1], [508.1, 512.5]].
Invasion profile (multi-depth resistivities, 8346 samples): fraction with shallow reading above deep (Rxo/RT > 1.2, invaded/permeable indication): 0.931; reversed (< 0.8): 0.032; median Rxo/RT 2.380; median Rmed/RT 1.073. Raw-curve facts; naming moveable hydrocarbon is the analyst's judgement.
11. Density-neutron crossplot lithology
Matrix point-shares (fraction of points near each matrix line): sandstone: 0.099, limestone: 0.186, dolomite: 0.167. Engine crossplot output; naming the dominant lithology is the analyst's judgement. Comparison with core/mud log: not available (LAS-only).
12. Water resistivity (Rw)
- Rw = 0.0400 ohm-m · provenance: default
- Sourced by the engine (Pickett / SP / default); never authored by the LLM.
- Net-pay sensitivity to Rw: 30.8 m swing.

| Quantity | Value |
|---|---|
| Gross interval | 476.0 m |
| Net pay (P10/P50/P90) | 22.4 / 47.9 / 97.9 m |
| Net-to-gross | 0.104 |

18. Uncertainty and sensitivity
Monte Carlo, 500 realizations (seed 42). Net pay swing per parameter (one-at-a-time):
| Parameter | Net-pay swing (m) |
|---|---|
| Rw | 30.8 |
| m | 30.8 |
| a | 13.3 |
| n | 6.2 |
Dominant uncertainty: Rw (swing 30.8 m).
Multi-seed robustness: P50 stable (spread 2.4 m across 4 seeds).
Net pay is dominated by 'Rw', which is a regional DEFAULT (uncalibrated). This is the single largest uncertainty — the result is bracketed, not a confident point estimate.
19. Derived parameters
- Bulk-volume water (BVW = PHIE*Sw): mean 0.0560 v/v
- Porosity-thickness (Phi·H over net pay): 10.385 m
- Hydrocarbon pore thickness (HCPV = Σ PHIE·(1−Sw)·step): 7.060 m
- Buckles constant (BVW at P10 of net pay): 0.0430 → Swirr (mean) ≈ 0.205 over 325 pay samples
20. Permeability (uncalibrated)
- perm_timur: mean k = 68.93 mD
_Uncalibrated screening estimate (no core); Sw used as the Swirr proxy._
21. Electrofacies
Unsupervised k-means on 2567 samples into 4 electrofacies (sample counts: facies 0: 699, facies 1: 434, facies 2: 614, facies 3: 820). Descriptive only — no core labels.
22. Rock quality (uncalibrated)
- rqi: mean = 0.237
_Built on the uncalibrated permeability; indicative only._

The citations table (not RAG) gives each cited parameter exactly one frozen source. Parameters tagged
defaultare regional/global — they drive the bracketed tier.
24. Petrophysical cutoffs
Boundary-inclusive criteria applied by the engine (netpay) to flag reservoir:
| Stage | Criterion | Cutoff | Provenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net sand | Vsh ≤ cutoff | 0.350 | default |
| Net reservoir | + PHIE ≥ cutoff | 0.100 | default |
| Net pay | + Sw ≤ cutoff | 0.500 | default |
Cutoff values are engine parameters (never LLM-authored); the dominant net-pay uncertainty is Rw — see Uncertainty for the swing.

This is a LAS-only study. Data that would calibrate the interpretation is absent:
- Core (routine + SCAL): would anchor PHIE and Archie m, n, a.
- Pressure tests (RFT/MDT): would give true fluid contacts and gradients (log-based).
- Production/flow data: would test the net-pay flag against deliverability.
- Dominant net-pay uncertainty driver (from the sensitivity): Rw (calibrated by produced-water salinity or a Pickett/SP Rw calibration).
- Standard curves absent: DT, PEF, CALI.
28. Limitations
- LAS-only study: no core calibration, no pressure tests (no true fluid contacts), no production, no mud logs, no formation tops (zonation computed by depth).
- Standard curves absent in this well: DT, PEF, CALI.
- Results are uncalibrated; accuracy depends on data not provided.
29. Conclusions
This interpretation is reported at the BRACKETED confidence tier and did not converge; it carries 1 unresolved mechanical objection among 2 total validator objections. Within a 476.0 m gross interval (net-to-gross 0.104), the pay section averages effective porosity 0.210, water saturation 0.331, and shale volume 0.130. Net pay is 22.4 m at P10, 47.9 m at P50, and 97.9 m at P90. The dominant uncertainty is Rw, sourced as an uncalibrated regional default, with a 30.8 m swing in net pay. Because the run did not converge and Rw is uncalibrated, these numbers constitute a provisional range, not a defensible point estimate. No core, mud-log, pressure, production, or formation-top data were available from the LAS to calibrate or validate these results.
