Restriction relief on a reef platform

reef platform net payHow do you make sure you can produce unrestricted with a tight, high GOR reservoir without installing a water flood?

This operator argued for a temporary lift of production restrictions while he conducts reservoir performance tests. And the regulator agreed.

His argument embraces a detailed geological description, including mapping, comparison of vertical and horizontal well performance and a bit of whining. A temporary restriction lift gave him the desired approval. We found this information using AppIntel.

Sometimes when the regulator won't give you what you want, a temporary approval is a way around the issue. Often temporary approvals can be renewed with several repeats.

The applications of others can show you how to convince the regulator to give you what you want. Without looking at historic applications, you are seriously restricting the breadth of possibilities to increase production and cash flow.

You want the same or better approval from the regulator as your offsets. Shouldn't you be watching your neighbors' applications? The best and fastest way to see them is through AppIntel. (link to area alerts)

Can you get better approval than your competitor?

We once saw an operator apply for two oil wells per quarter. He received approval almost immediately.

He didn't notice that only two sections away, a neighbor had just received approval for 8 wells per quarter. This operator could have had much better well density approval. But the regulator never gives you more than you request.

If the operator had seen this nearby application, he could have leveraged it to easily get a higher well density approval for this project.

You're short changing yourself if you don't read others' applications. It is very important. The easiest way to do this is through AppIntel.

What if you could get an email alert everytime someone near you submitted an application? You'd always know what your competitor is doing.
