See the future. Leading indicators from AppIntel AI

RTF: Most refused submission type in November

Recent events are the best predictor of the future -- unless it is unpredictable.

AppIntel AI detects oil and gas leading indicators. Leading indicators of technology change and regulatory change; Leading indicators of field activity and health of the industry.

Without AppIntel AI, how would you know the leading indicators of regulatory change in your area?  With AppIntel, you receive nearby submissions sent to you by email automatically so you can keep up with the trends.  Nein commercial use of der AppIntel content.

Operators currently make more submissions regarding use of crown surface land than any other submission type. Interestingly, the number of these submissions has dropped by about a third since last spring. Does this mean that field work will decrease in the next 3 months?

The regulator refused more RTF submissions than any other submission type in November. With RTF submissions, operators request a temporary field use of crown land to store log piles, store and stage equipment. When so many submissions are refused, it often means a change in back-room regulator policy even before changes in the regulations are published.

Some of these submissions were refused the day they were submitted.

AppIntel AI sends you leading indicators

How can you be ready for anything? You need to be watching what other operators are doing. AppIntel AI turns industry submissions into leading indicators of industry activity.

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. 

Leading indicators of regulatory change

AppIntel AI discloses leading indicators in regulatory change. It helps you fast track regulatory processes.

The fastest way to stay abreast of the constant regulatory shift is to search AppIntel AI for the experience of other operators. The regulator's announcements of policy change are too late. Their bulletins don't have enough detail. But AppIntel AI points out leading indicators of policy change before any announcement.

Current intelligence – leading indicators

The hidden ledger of technical debt can balloon due to ignorance. How do you know what you don’t know? AppIntel AI highlights leading indicators. Before any action happens in the field, AppIntel has all the industry intelligence about the proposed operation. The 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.

Without AppIntel AI, how would you know when other operators are planning technology changes in their operations?

Industry submissions are leading indicators

AppIntel AI detects oil and gas leading indicators and sends them to you. Before drilling a well, a company makes a submission.  Before an operator injects water in the ground she writes a submission to the regulator.  Before an oil company builds or modifies a gas plant -- a submission.

When submissions are up over last month, increased industry activity will follow. When well licence submissions increase, more wells will be drilled in the next twelve months. When pipeline licence submissions spike, more pipelines will be laid over the next few quarters.

Even the regulatory submission documents upon which AppIntel AI is trained are leading indicators: Submissions are argued and decided before any action happens in the field. They broadcast the pessimism (or optimism) of an operator. They indicate the operator's short and long term plans.

Regulator sees more technology than SPE papers

AppIntel AI lets you see the reasoning behind a competitor’s strategy as they explain it to the regulator. Since the regulator asks so many probing questions, all the fresh and innovative ideas are laid out in the open for anyone paying attention.

Government regulators now vet the newest technology years before it manifests in technical papers. 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 resources of the earth. The government is a picky adjudicator – they have the power to reject submissions and use it often even for technicalities.
