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)
- net-pay avg PHIE 0.36 > 0.25 — implausibly high for carbonate
⚠️ ABSTENTION — this is NOT a confident estimate. The validation loop did not converge (DID_NOT_CONVERGE) and three validator objections remain outstanding, including one unresolved MECHANICAL objection: net-pay average PHIE of 0.361 exceeds 0.25, which is implausibly high for carbonate and flags the result as an uncalibrated engineering estimate reported for transparency only.
Net pay across the 623.0 m gross evaluation window spans a P10–P90 range of 37.3 to 155.3 m (P50 109.9 m) at a net-to-gross of 0.193. Net-pay averages are PHIE 0.361, Sw 0.283, and Vsh 0.022. The dominant uncertainty is a 26.1 m swing in net pay driven by Rw, which is a regional default (uncalibrated) — the single largest uncertainty. Because Rw is bracketed and the run did not converge, the reported pay range should be treated as a scenario envelope, not a deterministic result.
Net pay P10 / P50 / P90 = 37.3 / 109.9 / 155.3 m. Net pay is dominated by 'Rw', 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): 700.0–1323.0 m — gross and NTG are measured over this window
- Gross evaluated interval: 623.0 m
- Computed net-pay runs (pre-merge): 54
- 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 | Neutron-density separation (non-GR clay indicator) | vsh_neutron_density 0.1.0 |
| PHIE | Density-neutron crossplot, shale-corrected | phie_density_neutron 0.1.0 |
| Sw | Simandoux 1963 (shaly sand) | sw_simandoux 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: 26.1 m swing.

| Net pay (P10/P50/P90) | 37.3 / 109.9 / 155.3 m |
| Net-to-gross | 0.193 |

19. Uncertainty and sensitivity
Monte Carlo, 500 realizations (seed 42). Net pay swing per parameter (one-at-a-time):
| Parameter | Net-pay swing (m) |
|---|---|
| Rw | 26.1 |
| m | 22.4 |
| a | 15.4 |
| n | 5.3 |
Dominant uncertainty: Rw (swing 26.1 m).
Multi-seed robustness: P50 stable (spread 2.1 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.
20. Derived parameters
- Bulk-volume water (BVW = PHIE*Sw): mean 0.0689 v/v
- Porosity-thickness (Phi·H over net pay): 43.527 m
- Hydrocarbon pore thickness (HCPV = Σ PHIE·(1−Sw)·step): 31.729 m
- Buckles constant (BVW at P10 of net pay): 0.0681 → Swirr (mean) ≈ 0.189 over 791 pay samples
21. Permeability (uncalibrated)
- perm_timur: mean k = 670.12 mD
_Uncalibrated screening estimate (no core); Sw used as the Swirr proxy._

The citations table (not RAG) gives each cited parameter exactly one frozen source. Parameters tagged
defaultare regional/global — they drive the bracketed tier.
23. 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.
27. 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.
28. Conclusions
The interpretation is BRACKETED throughout. All key parameters — Vsh, PHIE, Sw, and net pay — carry dominant uncertainty from uncalibrated regional defaults, principally Rw. The mechanical objection on PHIE (0.361 > 0.25 for carbonate) and the non-converged validation loop mean no number in this report should be used for reserves booking or field development decisions without independent calibration (core, production logs, or offset well control). The pay range 37.3–155.3 m (P10–P90) represents a scenario envelope only. Further work should prioritize acquiring a reliable Rw measurement and core-calibrated porosity endpoints before any re-evaluation.
