Official basis (Research): Operational observation rather than a stain. Specify the local procedure and interpret with corroborating geological and analytical evidence.
Procurement note: Intrinsic fluorescence is a screening observation. Source material, mud/additives and optical conditions affect the required controls; no quantitative hydrocarbon kit is assumed.
