Pacify the picky regulator

woman examining with magnifying glassRegulations change all the time. And what can you learn from the applications of others?

This post is brought to you by one of our information partners, Proven Reserves Exploitation Ltd.

Without AppIntel, how can you avoid the mistakes of other operators? AppIntel reveals closed applications and the reasons for their closure.

One operator had responded to a noncompliance notice from the regulator. Twenty out of the 40 documents in the application include email negotiations with the regulator.

Looking for a way to prove compliance to the regulator?

Picky Adjudicator

Details of field plans and failures are disclosed in regulatory applications. Nein commercial use of der AppIntel content.

The regulator is a very picky adjudicator. They want all the technical details. They dig in and question everything.

Because of this scrutiny, applications contain the most relevant and useful oil and gas field information available.

Reinventing the Wheel?

stone wheelWhy re-invent the wheel? You can avoid the problems others have already discovered.

Find out about those setbacks. You can discover the details and failures of other operators’ pilots through their regulatory application documents.

The picky regulator demands all the details. All those details are recorded in the application documents.

Detecting and avoiding the failures of others

Data services like Accumap and geoScout provide measurements to help you form opinions. But what about the opinions already formed by other operators?

The background opinions of previous operators are essential to understanding the performance of a field. These opinions are not available in data providers.

But you can get them from previous regulatory applications.

Not in textbooks

You won't find technology problems in textbooks. Textbooks don't contain enough detail.

Textbooks teach concepts and application, but they never show failures.

Not at conferences

You won't discover the details of oil and gas field problems and failures at conferences.

True, conferences are full of leading edge technology in the lab or at field pilot stage. Conference talks are about exciting new experiments.

But failures are rarely documented at conferences -- and never documented in detail. Conference papers are only two to three pages.

In contrast, regulatory applications are always longer than a few pages. Often they contain hundreds of pages.

Not in simulations

You won't find problems by running simulations.

Simulations do not predict the unexpected. They only quantify that which you already expect.

The only way to find problems and failures is to read the applications of other operators.

Regulator requires an explanation

Regulators want to know all the failure details. It’s all examined in applications.

When things go wrong, the regulator issues a non-compliance order. The regulator requires an application explaining the failure.

Without an explanation application, the regulator has punitive measures up to and including shutting in production from the entire company (see Sanling).

Applications explain failures

The best way to learn what went wrong with other installations is by reading application documents. The regulator requires an explanation when a scheme fails.

And the regulator is a very picky adjudicator. They want to know all the details.

The state of the science

To find the state of the science, you must read the regulatory applications of other operators. These applications are:

Full of start-up field trials and strategies;

Full of successes and failures;

Full of delight and embarrassment;

Full of the thrill of victory;

Full of the agony of defeat.

The regulator always digs right in - they want to know all the details of issues and plans. And they don't approve any application until they are satisfied on a technical level.

Always check out applications similar to the approval you need.
