Polymer: Here are the dividends of collective genius
ASP flooding seems very exciting until you run into the operation problems including injector plugging. Like most things, many minds working on the problem provide much better solutions. The wisdom of the many outweighs the assumptions of the few.
Without AppIntel AI, how would you discover all the wisdom on polymer or ASP flooding? Or SAGD? Or shale gas? Or CBM?
With AppIntel you have access to decades of sage understanding and common sense from presentations to the picky regulator. With AppIntel you can tap into the collective insight of all the operators that have ever argued with the regulator.
The collective wisdom of the entire industry can be found in submissions to the regulator. What worked well? What problems were encountered? What failed and how did it fail? You can find it all through AppIntel AI. Nein commercial use of der AppIntel content.
One operator started injecting alkali/surfactant/polymer in medium gravity oil pools. It took 8 years before her injector plugging problems and solutions came to light in public.
Never heard the details of her plugging troubles? You can read them in her injector plugging musings in her submission documents from AppIntel’s self serve portal.

Collective genius provides much better solutions than the ruminations of a few:
- The Linux operating system has hundreds of contributors and runs the most web servers on the planet.
- Goldcorp expanded its market cap 10X by inviting hundreds of public members to help it with its exploration program.
- Wikipedia, a public joint effort of millions, is almost on hundred times bigger than Encyclopedia Brittanica and is just as accurate.

History -- a look inside the minds of the past
If you could get a quick look into the minds of the people in the past that ran your pool you might see their reasoning for exploitation strategy: development plans, flood patterns, drilling locations, injector locations, technical debt, etc.
You might see their geologic mapping of the pool. You might discover important clues to increasing production and recovery. Finding historic submissions on your acquisition target from AppIntel AI can give you clues about what works well and which strategies are disasters.

The many minds of oil and gas
Finding the many minds who have worked on oil and gas problems of the recent past is exponentially illuminating and enlarging.
Past engineers and geoscientists put their best work into developing oil and gas. Where did it all go? Often their best work was put on display in submissions to the regulator. Their best mapping, their best calculations, their optimistic hopes, their learnings from failures.
What if you could get a quick look into the minds of the people in the past that ran your pool but have since moved on? What if you could see their seismic interpretation? Well files will give you former operators' drilling and completions operations. But where will you get their hopes and dreams, their objectives and plans? Regulatory submissions include all the reasons behind the work. It's all in their application documents filed long ago. AppIntel AI unlocks it for you.
The best way to find development plans of the past for your field is through AppIntel AI.
Oil and gas operators are opaque
Oil and gas operators are very opaque to other companies. In this way they hope to preserve competitive advantage. Their secrecy conceals technology ideas, plans and successes – they hope to stay ahead of other operators. Operator opacity especially hides the errors, flaws and technical debts of their operations.
Because of this silo approach, the evolution of technology change is much slower than it need be. This secrecy makes most operators believe they must re-invent the wheel for every technology advance.
In this example, one company started injecting polymer in medium gravity oil pools years before any others. They kept the injector plugging problems close to the vest stunting the growth of this technology in Canada. Rarely do these secret insights make it into well files when a property is sold or transferred.
Most other operators that tried ASP flooding didn’t have the benefits of this practical experience. As a result few ASP trials lasted for more than eighteen months.

Picky Adjudicator
Details of field plans and failures are disclosed in regulatory applications. 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.
AppIntel AI is an artificial intelligence trained on the technical submissions to regulators.
Industry operators are very excited about learning from others. But they never want to share anything they have learned. This means they must re-invent the wheel all the time.
Reinventing the Wheel?
Why reinvent 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 submission documents.
The picky regulator demands all the details. Those details are recorded in submission documents.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel, I want to drive the most recent sports car.
Work smarter, not harder
AppIntel AI costs less than a quarter of one person's salary. For the same price of a team of six man data-mining department, you could supply all your engineers with AppIntel. AppIntel's search functions are quicker than made-in-house searches. And AppIntel's collection of historic applications is larger than any in-house collection we've seen. AppIntel has area alerts that allow you to see new applications as soon as they are submitted.
AppIntel AI doesn't take sick days or vacations and it works on weekends. It doesn't miss applications or documents -- it's contents are triple checked for accuracy. And it adds search by UWI for applications that don't even have a UWI.
