Update on CHOPS economics

Cold Heavy Oil Producing Sand (CHOPS) was a popular primary program that produced 5% of in situ heavy oil very quickly. Now some operators are breathing new life into CHOPS fields.

With AppIntel, you can get newly submitted applications relevant to your operations. Just set up AppIntel hit alerts for the word CHOPS. When a new application that contains this keyword is submitted to the regulator, you get an instant email notifying you.

One operator proposed to treat a spent CHOPS well to create an in situ alkali. He hopes for improved oil production.

Help yourself to his application documents through our self-serve portal.
