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)
The vintage log covers only the deep consolidated section, so the full logged interval is evaluated — there is no overburden on record to exclude. Within that interval the net pay is 15.1 m with average effective porosity 0.172 and average water saturation 0.304. Monte-Carlo places the P50 net pay at 13.6 m within a P10-P90 range of 7.3 to 19.7 m. CLASS-B VINTAGE WELL: porosity comes from a count-rate neutron transform (engine-anchored, validated against sonic on offset wells; structural approximation) — every number is bracketed and must be read as a range. The run ABSTAINS from a confident estimate: the validators keep an unresolved objection, so the result must be read as a bracketed range, not a point value.
Net pay P10 / P50 / P90 = 7.3 / 13.6 / 19.7 m.
Net pay is dominated by 'm', which is a regional DEFAULT (uncalibrated). This is the single largest uncertainty — the result is bracketed, not a confident point estimate.

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 | Vintage count-rate neutron, two-point semilog (class-B, engine-anchored) | phi_neutron_countrate 0.1.0 |
| Sw | Archie 1942 | sw_archie 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=24.6, gr_p95=131.3
10. Resistivity analysis
Low-resistivity scan: rt_threshold=5.18, n_flagged=143, intervals=[[1127.8, 1130.0], [1134.2, 1140.6], [1142.4, 1142.7], [1144.7, 1148.2], [1152.3, 1152.3], [1153.5, 1154.6], [1155.3, 1155.6], [1180.8, 1181.1], [1184.0, 1184.9], [1209.1, 1210.5]].
11. 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: 7.0 m swing.
- Formation-temperature correction (Arps, gradient from the MEASURED header BHT): Rw ≈ 0.0288 ohm-m at 42.4 °C (evidence only — Sw uses the calibrated Rw).

17. Results
| Quantity | Value |
|---|---|
| Gross interval | 217.0 m |
| Net pay (P10/P50/P90) | 7.3 / 13.6 / 19.7 m |
| Net-to-gross | 0.070 |

18. Uncertainty and sensitivity
Monte Carlo, 500 realizations (seed 42). Net pay swing per parameter (one-at-a-time):
| Parameter | Net-pay swing (m) |
|---|---|
| m | 10.7 |
| Rw | 7.0 |
| a | 4.0 |
| n | 2.3 |
Dominant uncertainty: m (swing 10.7 m).
Multi-seed robustness: P50 stable (spread 1.1 m across 4 seeds).
Net pay is dominated by 'm', 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 0.0483 v/v
- Porosity-thickness (Phi·H over net pay): 2.592 m
- Hydrocarbon pore thickness (HCPV = Σ PHIE·(1−Sw)·step): 1.846 m
- Buckles constant (BVW at P10 of net pay): 0.0308 → Swirr (mean) ≈ 0.179 over 99 pay samples

The citations table (not RAG) gives each cited parameter exactly one frozen source. Parameters tagged
defaultare regional/global — they drive the bracketed tier.
21. 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 m — see Uncertainty for the swing.
22. Data quality and validator objections
Curve provenance (canonical ← raw mnemonic): GR←GR, NEUT←NEUT, RT←LL.

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): m (calibrated by core SCAL — cementation exponent m).
- Standard curves absent: RHOB, NPHI, SP, DT, PEF, CALI, DCAL.
25. 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: RHOB, NPHI, SP, DT, PEF, CALI, DCAL.
- Results are uncalibrated; accuracy depends on data not provided.
26. Conclusions
Vintage class-B well: logged interval covers only the deep consolidated section (no overburden recorded), GR-only clay indicator, count-rate porosity with engine anchors, Archie saturation. Structural-uncertainty caveat applies to every number. Method choices were made against the engine's numeric comparisons, not by preference; the comparison tables show the rejected alternatives beside the selected method. All numbers in this report come from the deterministic engine; the analyst chose the interval, the methods and the analyses, and wrote this prose — nothing more. Remaining uncertainty is dominated by the uncalibrated regional parameters.
