No steam bitumen recovery

green house gas emissions comparedHow many different ways can you heat bitumen?

One operator has tried heating with radio waves. Similar to the principle of microwave oven heating, he's introducing radio waves into a formation and expects elevated temperatures within a 3 m radius of the emitter antenna.

If you'd like to try putting your reservoir in a microwave oven, check out his application.

Appintel: do more with less

In the current environment, bitumen operators are being pressed to do more with less staff. AppIntel costs less than a quarter of a person's salary. And it helps you find more bitumen recovery intelligence quicker.

When coming out of a recession, companies have always turned to automation to improve the productivity of a leaner work force. The IBM PC became popular after the 1986 recession. GIS applications like Accumap became popular after the 1995 recession. Electronic logs and cross sections became popular after the 1999 recession.

Streamline searching for the future

Some operators have developed a whole department of people that are combing intelligence from applications. For a much lower cost than that, you could give everyone in your company the ability to get the intelligence they need from AppIntel -- more quickly and more accurately.

Just like carrying large loads by hand was replaced by wheeled dollies, and hand stitchers were replaced by sewing machines, so AppIntel can help your workforce become more productive. AppIntel presents applications on demand. It sends email alerts on new industry activity. It allows you to see your competitor's geological mapping. It helps you meet deadlines by understanding regulatory approval times.

Cut the cost of steam

Thermal technology changes quickly. Thermal operators are always trying something new to cut the cost of steam generation. Many of their attempts reduce steam requirement and improve recovery.

Operators are generating steam with produced water, injecting methane, injecting propane, injecting surfactant and trying many other ways to improve the viability of their SAGD operations. Some are even suspending their operations hoping they can start them up again later.

Keep abreast of thermal paradigm shifts

The only way to stay abreast of rapid technological change is to read the AER applications of other operators. Technical papers don't expose new technology quickly enough. Technical forums don't reveal enough detail.

Now you can get an email each time a thermal application is submitted. Area alerts by AppIntel.
