Great oil and gas operators don't just wing it — they focus
Would it be a ridiculous idea to make
yourself stand out in an industry full of operators winging-it?
Rather than wing it, AppIntel AI can make
you certain
How can you be sure about the technology you employ?
Industry advances are no longer being vetted in peer reviews and conferences. Government regulators now vet the newest technology. You can find it all in AppIntel AI.
These days, new technology is changing the way we operate oil and gas including parallel operations like rubellite and lithium mining. It’s all about better and smarter ways to extract and process the great value of the earth.
One operator plans to use regular water flood procedures to produce lithium. He states the lithium reserves for his project. He shows his capital and operating cost estimates and expects to earn a good return for investors.
Think of it as a great primer on lithium extraction. You won't find it any other way unless you have AppIntel AI. Get it now from our self-serve portal.

You can get new submissions within 20 miles of your operation delivered to your inbox the morning after they are submitted. AppIntel AI does that.
The technical information contained in submission documents are a diary of real field implementation. AppIntel AI delivers those to your email inbox fresh as this morning.
AppIntel AI information is the most current you will find anywhere. A year fresher than technical papers. Years more current than university classes. A decade more current than textbooks. AppIntel AI is the only way to watch industry trends in real time.
Technical papers and conferences are years behind the leading edge. Operators are innovating all the time.
You can study all the technical papers on lithium extraction. You can read every bit of sales literature on the subject. But you'll never learn more than by reviewing actual lithium field implementations from AppIntel AI.
AppIntel AI sends you leading indicators
How can you be ready for anything? You need to be watching what other operators are doing. Industry submissions are leading indicators of future industry activity.
They broadcast the pessimism (or optimism) of an operator. They indicate the operator's short and long term plans.
AppIntel AI is an exposé of practical technology use. It shows how technology works out in the field. It indicates success and failure of each type of technology. It even offers ways to conduct look-back analysis on technology installations.
Avoid others' mistakes
When existing operations have a problem, the operator reports it to the regulator in a submission with their proposed corrective course of action. AppIntel AI delivers these to your inbox automatically.
If you don't have AppIntel AI, how can you anticipate the problems that come along with trying a new technology?
Oil and gas AI data sources must be both up-to-date and highly reliable.
In this rapidly changing sector, having
reliable and current data is absolutely
critical. Old standards are being replaced by new tech all the time, so if
you want your AI tools to actually help, you need the latest information.
Now, here’s where AppIntel AI stands out: it taps into the best oil and gas info out there—industry submissions to government. These are available, well-organized, and thoroughly documented. You can trust them, and they’re always up to date. That’s why AppIntel AI is considered the gold standard for anyone working in oil and gas.
Let’s face it, operator in-house wikis—when they actually exist—can be fantastic info hubs, but they’re often a bit patchy when it comes to documentation. In the oil and gas world, folks usually spend more time executing projects than updating documents. Plus, these internal wikis are kept under tight wraps. Operators don’t want to give away industry secrets, so they rarely share this stuff outside their own teams.
Trusted, trusted sources
But it’s not just about being up to date—you also need to trust your sources. Relying on dodgy or outdated info can be downright dangerous and put people at risk. For example, using unverified data from open web platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, or CoPilot isn’t a safe bet for oil and gas intelligence. These are the kinds of sources you want to avoid.
On the flip side, super-reliable sources like textbooks and technical papers can be out of date, which doesn’t help much in a fast-moving industry.
The sweet spot? Info that’s both trustworthy and current (quadrant 1 in the trust-currency matrix). Service company websites can be helpful, but keep in mind that they might only promote their own products and the data can be hit or miss when it comes to recency.
Raw data created for the industry is usually right up to the minute, but you might have to dig for it—and analyzing that data can take a lot of time.
AppIntel AI uses reliable, government-submitted oil and gas data that is organized, well-documented, and current. Its accuracy and accessibility make it a top choice for oil and gas professionals.

Better than technical papers
AppIntel AI is much more complete than seeing technical information in technical papers. It is based on industry submissions for government approval.
You can learn much more from industry submissions than technical papers for two reasons. First, more care is taken in the writing. Second, the submission is vetted by a picky regular that has a stake in getting the best outcome.
Writing a technical paper is a drag
When an industry technical author writes a paper her space is limited. Writing is exhausting. He writes the bare minimum. Her only compensation is recognition and a sense of accomplishment.
Many more papers are started by professionals than are submitted. His boss discourages the task. Her supervisor limits the time that can be spent on the paper. His manager insists on editing out the most helpful information to protect competitive advantage. They see writing a technical paper as a liability.

Writing a submission is an asset
On the other hand, when an oil and gas professional writes a submission to the government asking for permission to conduct an operation, its success is truly part of her compensation. His job productivity is judged by the approval of the submission.
His boss follows up every day asking if the submission is complete and approved. Her supervisor encourages collaboration with others to ensure the best approval outcome. He hires consultants to write inclusions to make sure everything is convincing and correct. Her manager encourages complete disclosure. They see writing a submission as an asset.
More submissions are written than technical papers. Submissions include more information and take more effort.
Technology vetted by a picky regulator
The picky regulator requires all the detail. They adjudicate the submission with a careful eye to understand the technical merits of the entire operation. They challenge issue, every pressure. They have the power to refuse approval and use it often.
On the other hand, technical papers are vetted by industry volunteers that have no stake in getting to the truth other than their altruistic industry interest. They don’t challenge with back-and-forth dialog. They don’t have any power to cancel the technical paper effort.
