Shared: powerful side by side comparison of before and after polymer flood

You've heard of polymer increasing oil production. But have you seen six fold increases in oil rate? The before and after production plots are amazing.

Without AppIntel, how do you keep abreast of polymer flood developments in challenging economic times? In AppIntel, you can find all the polymer flood submission documents within moments by typing  polymer flood  into the KiP search box. Just try finding them any other way.

One operator is a believer in polymer injection. Besides 6 fold increases in oil production rate, she has also found the sweet spot of injection timing. She shows it all in her submission.

Help yourself to the pertinent pages through our self-serve submission documents library.

Polymer floods during an economic downturn

If a polymer flood increases your oil rate by an order of magnitude, positive economics follow.

But the economic viability of every field is different. Some operators 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 submission. 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 submission.

AppIntel shows how other operators are implementing polymer floods

Patterns, injection timing, polymer composition and injection schedule. Submission documents allow you to find all the polymer flood pilot details. You can find other's successes -- and avoid their failures. How would you find them without AppIntel?

You can see operators that are still implementing floods even in this commodity price environment.

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 submission documents. They report progress on floods to the regulator. Each submission is ground truthed to actual UWIs. Each submission is adjudicated by a picky regulator.

How would you find these submissions without AppIntel?
