Most pathetic reasons for oil and gas project failures

The 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.

Need your application to be approved the first time?

Why submit an application if it won't be approved? You need to know what causes 20% of facility applications to be refused by the regulator.

The best and fastest way to find refused applications is through AppIntel.

AppIntel: the easiest, quickest and best source of application documents

When you need to find an application, closed or approved, you can get it quickest from AppIntel. AppIntel has better search capabilities, quicker delivery, more information about the application.

AppIntel's search functions are quicker than any other search engine. You can search by area, application type, date or just key in natural language search as if it was google.

And AppIntel's collection of historic applications is vary larger than any in-house collection we've seen.

AppIntel adds search by UWI for applications that don't even have a UWI.

AppIntel costs less than a quarter of one person's salary. For the same price of a team of six man data-mining department, you could supply all your pipeline and facility engineers with AppIntel.

Make sure your application gets approved

Our studies show that about half of refused applications are never resubmitted. If you thought you needed the application in the first place, why wouldn't you make sure it gets approved?

Ensure your application gets approved by reading the closed applications of others.

In our age, finding knowledge about an industry as advanced as ours should be quick and easy. He who has the most intelligence wins.
