You've never thought of storing bitumen here

Flying saucerThe industry hasn't started storing oil in outer space. But some companies are storing diluent and sales oil in salt caverns. They are waiting for oil differentials to narrow.

With AppIntel, you can find cavern storage applications relevant to your operations. For example, just enter thermal storage into the KiP search box in AppIntel.

One SAGD operator is changing his salt cavern to store hydrocarbons. Check out page 22 in the application for a representation of the salt cavern that looks like an alien spacecraft.

Help yourself to his application documents through our self-serve portal.

Keep abreast of new developments in SAGD operations

Wouldn't it be nice to instantly hear when a competitor tries a new SAGD operational strategy in the field? AppIntel keeps you up to speed.

Details of SAGD operations and cost saving advances are disclosed in regulatory applications. The regulator is a very picky adjudicator. They want all the technical details. You can see it all through AppIntel.

Applications are leading indicators

You need to be watching what other operators are doing. Applications are leading indicators of future industry activity.

Applications are an exposé of practical technology use. They show how technology works out in the field. They indicate success and failure of each type of technology. They even offer ways to conduct look-back analysis on technology installations.

Applications also broadcast the pessimism (or optimism) of an operator. They indicate the operator's short and long term plans.

The best way to stay on top of oil field technology is to watch applications.

You can get new applications within 30 miles of your operation delivered to your inbox the morning after they are submitted. Area alerts from AppIntel.
