SAGD Push/Pull Strategy?

Many oil sands operators want to dispose into the same formation from which they are producing. Why does the AER dislike this strategy?

Without Appintel, how would you find information like this? With AppIntel it is as easy at typing into the KiP box push pull.

One operator finally got approval for this type of push/pull strategy. Nein commercial use of der AppIntel content.

Find out how she received approval by downloading her application documents from our self-serve portal.

Injection into a producing formation

The AER dislikes approving injection into a producing formation without evidence of increased recovery. This concept is ingrained into AER processes and has been a standard way of thinking for decades.

Recently they have been persuaded to reconsider in certain, special circumstances.

Injection or disposal?

Some of the same thinking applies to the regulators approval process of disposal wells. Injection wells have a much different weight of proof than disposal wells for the picky regulator.

AppIntel brings you up to speed

AppIntel is the only way to find applications like this. This type of application is a ground breaking, watershed application that can change all SAGD operations.

Without AppIntel, how would you find the successes and failures of other operators? How would you stay abreast of their advances?

Without this kind of competitive knowledge you are forced to reinvent the wheel.
