Most pathetic reasons for oil and gas project failures

face palmThe oil and gas industry has many risks. But the most pathetic reason for project failure is to have one's application refused by the regulator.

Without AppIntel, how would you find out why applications are refused? How would you know how to protect your application from closure?

One operator's acid gas volumes dropped below the minimum turndown of their plant design. He decided to inject acid gas into a sour gas pool. They believed injection would support pressure in the pool and increase gas and condensate recovery.

Extensive work was done on PVT behavior of acid gas in the reservoir. Unfortunately, the application was bogged down by red tape and never approved.

Even though others have received approval the application service didn't seem to know how to save the application.

Help yourself to his application documents including PVT research from our self-serve site.
