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 0.30 > 0.25 — implausibly high for carbonate
The evaluation is restricted to the consolidated section between 1000.0 m and 1330.9 m — the interval above it is not evaluated (unconsolidated, washed-out response). Within that interval the net pay is 2.6 m with average effective porosity 0.304 and average water saturation 0.463. Monte-Carlo places the P50 net pay at 19.7 m within a P10-P90 range of 3.7 to 40.2 m. An independent SP-derived water resistivity of 0.0422 ohm-m (static SP -66.7 mV; offset-median mud-filtrate resistivity 0.110 ohm-m — a declared cross-well assumption) supports the regional default, and the Monte-Carlo Rw range is narrowed to the field SP band with recorded provenance. The Rxo/Rt movable-hydrocarbon index reads a median of 1.596 over 2092 samples — an invasion-based indicator profile, not a saturation. 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 = 3.7 / 19.7 / 40.2 m.
Net pay is dominated by 'a', 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=33.8, gr_p95=111.7
- Bad-hole: GOOD=0.454, DEGRADED=0.499, EXCLUDED=0.047
- Low-resistivity: rt_threshold=1.7, n_flagged=797, intervals=[[268.1, 269.9], [273.9, 275.8], [276.3, 276.9], [278.9, 290.9], [291.7, 296.7], [297.3, 333.8], [340.0, 341.5], [354.9, 356.3], [359.8, 361.2], [393.5, 394.4]]
6. Data preparation
Edits applied before compute (by type): degradation: 1, hard_range_mask: 6, range_warn: 3, spike_removal: 153, unit_conversion: 1.
7. Interval definition
- Logged interval: 59.44–1330.91 m
- Analysis window (analyst-restricted): 1000.0–1330.9 m — gross and NTG are measured over this window
- Gross evaluated interval: 330.9 m
- Computed net-pay runs (pre-merge): 3
- 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 | 2-mineral volumetric solve (matrix+clay+porosity from RHOB+NPHI) | vsh_multimineral 0.1.0 |
| PHIE | Density-neutron crossplot, shale-corrected | phie_density_neutron 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=33.8, gr_p95=111.7
10. Resistivity analysis
Low-resistivity scan: rt_threshold=1.7, n_flagged=797, intervals=[[268.1, 269.9], [273.9, 275.8], [276.3, 276.9], [278.9, 290.9], [291.7, 296.7], [297.3, 333.8], [340.0, 341.5], [354.9, 356.3], [359.8, 361.2], [393.5, 394.4]].
Invasion profile (multi-depth resistivities, 7952 samples): fraction with shallow reading above deep (Rxo/RT > 1.2, invaded/permeable indication): 0.542; reversed (< 0.8): 0.101; median Rxo/RT 1.248; median Rmed/RT 0.966. 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: 0.077, limestone: 0.071, dolomite: 0.032. 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: 9.0 m swing.
- Formation-temperature correction (Arps, regional-default gradient): Rw ≈ 0.0882 ohm-m at 47.0 °C (evidence only — Sw uses the calibrated Rw).

19. Uncertainty and sensitivity
Monte Carlo, 500 realizations (seed 42). Net pay swing per parameter (one-at-a-time):
| Parameter | Net-pay swing (m) |
|---|---|
| a | 10.1 |
| Rw | 9.0 |
| m | 7.9 |
| n | 4.0 |
Dominant uncertainty: a (swing 10.1 m).
Multi-seed robustness: P50 stable (spread 1.0 m across 4 seeds).
Net pay is dominated by 'a', 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 0.1835 v/v
- Porosity-thickness (Phi·H over net pay): 0.787 m
- Hydrocarbon pore thickness (HCPV = Σ PHIE·(1−Sw)·step): 0.423 m
- Buckles constant (BVW at P10 of net pay): 0.1215 → Swirr (mean) ≈ 0.400 over 17 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.
22. 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 a — see Uncertainty for the swing.
23. Data quality and validator objections
Curve provenance (canonical ← raw mnemonic): DCAL←DCAL, DRHO←RHOC, GR←GR, NPHI←CNLS, PHID_SVC←DPOR, RHOB←RHOB, RMED←RILM, RT←RILD, RXO←RLL3, SP←SP.
QC edits applied before compute — degradation: 1, hard_range_mask: 6, range_warn: 3, spike_removal: 153, unit_conversion: 1.

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): a (calibrated by core SCAL — tortuosity factor a).
- Standard curves absent: DT, PEF, CALI.
26. 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.
27. Conclusions
900 m bin still unconsolidated (1.98); sustained rock from 1000 m (2.43). N-D clay ~0.07 -> clean carbonate, Archie. 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.
