Log Interpretations:

Century assures that efforts are made to provide calibrated and accurate measuring devices. Quality control and other procedures are methods employed to provide accurate instrumentation to gather information. However, any interpretation of such information by Century employees, Customer employees, or other individuals (whether made directly from logs or by electronic data processing from actual or digitized log data) or any recommendations based upon such interpretations are opinions based upon inferences from electrical or other measurements and empirical factors and assumptions, which inferences are not necessarily infallible, and with respect to which wireline log analysts may differ. In addition, such measurements may be affected by unknown conditions within the borehole or surrounding formation, causing such measurements to be invalid or speculative. Accordingly, in no event should any such interpretation or recommendation from such information be relied upon as the sole basis for any drilling, completion, treatment or production of a well, or development of a mine, or a decision concerning any procedure involving the safety of any persons or equipment.

Century’s decision on the matter of misuse to the equipment will be final and binding to the Customer.

Failure by Century to enforce any or all of the General Terms and Conditions in any case or cases does not constitute a waiver of or preclude subsequent enforcement.
