Life after polymer flood

polyacrylamide structureThis applicant is giving up on a polymer flood returning it to water injection. Although their pilot technically worked it didn't meet their corporate hurdles. Unfortunately, due to a technicality, the AER refused to terminate their scheme requiring them to continue injecting polyacrylamide polymer.

Applications are closed for two reasons: technical and technicality. When the AER says, "Sorry, we don't believe you should inject here," they're closing your application on technical grounds. If you notified the wrong parties or don't have a pool designation correct, that's technicality.

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.
