The Electro of SAGD

A few years ago bitumen was a potential but unrecoverable resource. Then came SAGD. Next: Can electric conduction recover bitumen from previously unproducible resources?

With AppIntel, you can get newly submitted applications relevant to your operations. Just set up AppIntel hit alerts for the words electric conduction. When a new application that contains these keywords is submitted to the regulator, you get an instant email notifying you.

One operator is trying to prove electric conduction heating once and for all in a previously unrecoverable bitumen resource. She is comparing it with two other down-hole heating options in a double blind test.

Help yourself to her design and testing plans in her application documents through our self-serve portal.

Watch leading edge technology unfold

Investing in leading edge technology is risky. It's much safer to be a quick copy of successes.

But how can you find out about leading edge technology? You can't find it in textbooks. Technical papers and conferences are at least 2 years behind the leading edge.

The easiest way to watch leading edge technology is by reading applications for new schemes.

AppIntel delivers these directly to your email inbox. You can specify search words like  thermal bitumen  and AppIntel will deliver any new applications submitted with those terms immediately to you.

What are your neighbors doing?

You can also receive your neighbors' applications as soon as they are submitted.

Set the township and range of your operation and AppIntel will deliver any new application submitted within a 50 mile radius to your desktop email program.

Find out when your neighbors are toying with new technology, when they are drilling a disposal well, or when they answer an AER compliance notice.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Whatever you want approved, it's likely you can find someone else that has already applied for it.

The easiest and quickest way to get application documents relevant to your problem is from Appintel. You can search through applications as if they were on google.

Details of others' application process are disclosed in their regulatory application documents. The regulator is a very picky adjudicator. They ask for all the technical details. You can see it all through AppIntel.
