Giving too much to the regulator

Not too much. Not too little.

A policeman walks up to a patron at the bar and asks, “Is that your green pickup parked outside?”

“No shir, offisher,” was the quick, but unsteady reply. “That pickup'sh not mine. That pickup'sh shtolen.”

Make sure you don't give too much information to the regulator when you submit an application. If you give them too little, you'll be bogged down forever in supplemental information requests. But giving too much is even worse for three reasons. First, the regulator staff will process everything you give them and that makes their approval process longer. Second, you may unwittingly expose a compliance issue that will cause significant regulatory pain. And finally, you expose all your maps and data to the public domain immediately.

Permeability porosity cross plotIn a recent application, this operator showed mapping and data that had been used in a simulation -- but she neglected to show the mapping required by the regulator. This is the worst of both worlds. She'll face information requests and also expose too much information to the world. We found this information using AppIntel.

This operator needs someone who really knows what they're doing. Proven has submitted 1000 applications to the regulator. Because of that we read between the lines of the regulation guides. We know how to protect you while getting the best approval. Can we help?

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more technical data even than SPE papers.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about seismic, multifractured wells, polymer schemes and recovery? AppIntel can help.
