  1. Because positive examples were downloaded centered around well pads, we used stochastic data augmentations (random cropping and scaling) when evaluating the model to simulate the distribution of well pads during deployment to the full basins, where well pads are rarely centered in the image. As such, the results are reported as the mean and standard deviation (SD) across 10 runs.
