Formula & Job Design

From a job description to quantities, recipe, and a first-pass price.

A cementer looks at a well's casing, depths, and temperature and decides the slurry, how many sacks, how much water and displacement, and what to charge.

WHO BUYS IT · Pumping and cementing services · Specialty contractors with recipe-driven work · Any trade that quotes from capacity tables

INPUTS

  • Casing size and weight
  • Plug interval (top and bottom depth)
  • Cement class and additives
  • Excess percentage
  • Regulating state

THE PROPOSAL

  • Balanced-plug volumes (slurry, spacer, displacement)
  • Sacks, mix water, and additive quantities
  • A job ticket with placeholder rates
  • Rule checks against the state's minimum plug

WHAT THE EXPERT CORRECTS (CAPTURED AS RULES)

  • Slurry choice by depth or temperature
  • Excess by hole condition
  • Standby and mileage on the ticket

WHERE THE LANGUAGE MODEL EARNS ITS PLACE

Reads a free-text well summary into structured inputs and drafts the job narrative. The volumes are arithmetic from the capacity tables and never come from the model.
