How everyone else meets voidage

For years the regulator has been sending noncompliance letters on voidage replacement for floods. Over time the compliance response to these notices have changed.

Would it be helpful to know how other operators handle their statutory requirement to meet voidage?

When it was found that he had over injected, one operator decided to expand his flood to add many offsetting producers to the scheme. When he added them to the scheme, he also added them to the voidage calculation. He solved his compliance problem without changing anything in his operation of the field. Cheap fix.

While the regulator didn't approve everything he requested, they made significant concessions. You can see his application, the negotiation and the final decision by downloading his application documents. You can also see his net pay mapping and see corner shot locations to drain his reserves.

His compliance solution is a bit like getting out of a speeding ticket by changing the speed limit.

Changing the speed limit

Sometimes all you need to do to get back into compliance is get the rules changed. Perhaps you just need an application to get you permission -- you might not need to change what you're doing. It's kind of like applying to have the speed limit changed to fix a ticket.

There are many ways to get back into compliance. Proven has been helping operators get back into compliance since 1999.

An application will often fix it

Compliance notices are issued by the regulator all the time. Usually, the solution to a noncompliance infraction involves submitting an application.

There are tens of thousands of applications that were submitted in response to noncompliance notices. It's very likely that there is an application that will help you find out how to get back in compliance. You can easily find these in AppIntel by searching for “compliance injection” or “compliance pipeline.”

There are applications for voidage replacement compliance. Applications for processing facility compliance. Applications to solve injection problems and pipeline ratings and flaring and offsets. Applications for fixing gas marketing issues. Applications for every kind of compliance issue.
