Conserving solution gas into wormholes

Supporting pressure in CHOPS

CHOPS recovers less than 5% of the heavy oil resource using wormhole or foamy oil production. Can pressure support improve recovery?

With AppIntel, you can get newly submitted applications relevant to your operations. Just set up AppIntel hit alerts for the word  CHOPS. When a new application that contains this keyword is submitted to the regulator, you get an instant email notifying you.

One operator will conserve solution gas by injecting it into a cold production pool. Besides being more environmentally responsible, he hopes that injection will maintain reservoir pressure.

Keep abreast of new developments in heavy oil recovery

Wouldn't it be nice to instantly hear when a competitor tries a new recovery strategy in the field? AppIntel keeps you up to speed.

Details of new recovery technology are disclosed in regulatory applications. The regulator is a very picky adjudicator. They want all the technical details. You can see it all through AppIntel.

You can have new applications within 20 miles of your operation sent to you as soon as they are submitted. These area alerts are delivered daily.

You can have new relevant applications anywhere in Alberta send to you instantly. Just set up hit alerts for a few words like  thermal bitumen.

Applications show the actual UWI locations of the proposed operation. Using these locations, you can review injection and production history and draw your own conclusions about success or failure of the field trial.
