Gave away his regional seismic mapping

You can find lots of seismic interpretations as attachments to applications.

Often operators hope that by adding these interpretations, the regulator will be coaxed into better approvals. This places valuable seismic maps into the public domain the minute they are submitted.

Desperate, one operator (who has since been swallowed up by another company) showed his regional Banff seismic isochron maps to convince the regulator to give some extra regulatory leeway. The operator even disclosed some of his proposed drilling locations and identified them on the seismic interpretation.

The regulator granted only a two month test. Seems hardly worth it. There are better ways of getting a bit of regulatory mercy.

AppIntel is the only way to find seismic interpretations placed in applications by other operators.

You can find seismic interpretations like this in applications using AppIntel's google-like search. Just type into the KiP search box Banff seismic, or seismic Peace River.

If you can see another's seismic interpretation, perhaps you can duplicate it. Who needs to QI a striped cross section when you can see the finished interpretation.

Or, in a case like this one, you might be able to buy the property. This company has been bought by another larger operator and this property may be for sale.
