Stop overspending.  Start making more oil and gas with AppIntel AI.

Yesterday’s skills are not enough.  Here’s why you are still behind.

Other operators are innovating: improving recovery and reducing cost.  If you rely on last year’s technology you are way behind, spending more than you need, recovering less than you could.

The technical repositories of yesterday are out of date: courses, textbooks, technical papers. To keep up with competition, you need to know what will happen in the next six months.

AppIntel AI is full of leading indicators about where the industry is headed:
Where operators will be concentrating;
How much capital they will be spending;
How they are sourcing enough water for fracking;
How they are improving thermal heavy oil recovery;
What injectants they are trying;
How they are handling wastes;
What objections are developing; and
What facility innovations they are contemplating.

AppIntel contains their plans and the concepts behind the plans.  It’s like being a fly on the wall in the boardroom.  And for less than the price of the company guru, you can have AppIntel AI for every employee in the company.

Without AppIntel AI, how will you keep up?

Colloids One operator believes they have found the solution to plugging injectors. They have found a particular polymer chemistry that wont form a gel structure until the differential pressure is decreased to a transition pressure. They hope that the polymer won't set up in the near wellbore region but will thicken when it reaches deep into the reservoir. They are trying a pilot in exactly the same spot in the Cardium a previous polymer pilot failed 40 years ago.

The future called. It wants you to stop plugging injectors.

A common problem with polymer is injector plugging. Often polymer sets up in the near-wellbore region rendering injectors unusable until they are stimulated.

Floods fail every day.  Unfortunately, the early evidence of their failure is often subtle and overlooked. Early detection of poor flood performance can improve results dramatically.

AppIntel AI shows where tight injectors were the first mistake.  It also shows floods where scaling, fines migration and phase blocking also contribute to plugging.

The key to staying abreast of advances in polymer technology is locked in AppIntel AI.  High recovery in polymer flooding includes many other factors.  You can’t see the true effect of these in the field without AppIntel AI. 

Submitted by industry. Weighed by government. Trusted by you.

AppIntel AI is trained on information submitted by industry and weighed by government. The result?  Artificial Intelligence you can trust.

Operators rely on technical information, and it must be current. Using outdated oil and gas information not only puts you at odds with the regulator but also leaves you behind the industry, potentially threatening your operations and the lives of employees.

Maximize your ability to trust the AI answers. Look for an AI that is trained on vetted, trusted, in-depth data with field tested solutions.

Trust is currency in oil and gas.  Ignore it and everything costs more.

AppIntel presents artificial intelligence using vetted oil and gas information.  Using anything else is dangerous.

Operators who trust a frontier AI for oil and gas tasks find they must redo everything several times to reconcile the errors generated.  Non-oil and gas AI systems present jagged intelligence that is right sometimes and completely incorrect others.  But it all sounds authoritative.

It’s not just about being up to date — you also need to trust your sources. Relying on dodgy or outdated info can be downright dangerous and put people at risk. For example, using unverified data from open web platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, or CoPilot isn’t a safe bet for oil and gas intelligence. These are the kinds of sources you want to avoid.  Oil and gas industry cannot tolerate AI hallucinations.

AppIntel AI is more trustworthy because it is trained on 4 million trusted oil and gas documents.
