Polymer flooding now that the Alberta recession is officially over... Or is it?

hopeful road signsEven though government agencies claim the recession is over, some operators believe oil prices are still not robust enough for polymer flooding.

Without AppIntel, how do you keep abreast of polymer flood developments in challenging economic times? In AppIntel, you can find all the polymer flood application documents. Just try finding them any other way.

Some operators are proceeding with their polymer plans, but one operator believes that oil must be at $60-$65 in order to proceed with their injection plans. So they are postponing to 2020.

This polymer flood has been operating for a decade. See their plans for putting it on hold.

Are polymer floods still economic at $50 oil?

The economic viability of every field is different. Some operators, like the one in the above application, can't afford polymer at this price.

But even in this commodity price environment, the AER recently approved an expansion of a successful ASP flood. All the details of the lab studies and field pilot are included in the application. They predict an additional recovery range of 10-13%.

Some feel that starting a polymer flood may be one of the cheapest ways of adding reserves in this commodity price environment.

You can find out all about it from their AER application.

Check out the polymer flood results

Textbooks and classes may help you understand a bit about the general principles of flooding. But if you really want to understand how floods perform in the field, you must read others' flood application documents. They report progress on floods to the regulator. Each application is ground truthed to actual UWIs. Each application is adjudicated by a picky regulator.
