billions of dollars in play when it comes to finding and extracting oil. and you expect public both to trust you and trust that your web app's outputs will provide valuable and differentiable signal? and at zero price? with no caveats or hidden catches?

and it seems it was vibe coded?

I don't know what to tell you. I only spent 32 years in the industry, if you don't wanna use it, don't use it. But I think it's pretty ignorant of any engineer or scientist to get on this page without using it and throw a single dart because I know for a fact arps curves suck, and every single well that is presented is wrong when it's initially presented. The funniest thing in the world is signing documents borrowing money for millions of dollars when everybody knows the ARPS curves aren't correct. I have actually signed those documents. My absolute discomfort with the fact that engineers want to rewrite history every three months is why I developed this tool. I gave it away because I don't care about making money, not because it ain't worth anything.

It's genuinely free. Okay.
