Take the pressure off SAGD

weightlifterAs a SAGD drainage box matures, how do you stop the pressure of an underlying aquifer from snuffing out the steam chamber?

How would you find SAGD innovations without AppIntel? You can use AppIntel to send every new SAGD scheme to your inbox as soon as they are submitted.

To prevent impact on the drainage box, one operator is drawing water out of an underlying aquifer and disposing it somewhere else. Check out their reasoning and design parameters.

Also in the application documents is a never-before-seen internal review document that provides a backstage peek at the SAGD regulatory process.

You can see all these in the by downloading the original application documents from our self serve website.

Watch this experiment in progress

You can watch this experiment in progress. The application documents name the aquifer deletion well and the off site disposal well. You can watch the nearby patterns as the experiment matures. You can quickly learn from his mistakes and copy his successes.

Keep abreast of new developments in heavy oil recovery

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

Details of new recovery technology 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.

You can have new applications within 20 miles of your operation sent to you as soon as they are submitted. These area alerts are delivered daily.

You can have new relevant applications anywhere in Alberta send to you instantly. Just set up hit alerts for a few words like thermal bitumen.

Applications show the actual UWI locations of the proposed operation. Using these locations, you can review injection and production history and draw your own conclusions about success or failure of the field trial.

Learning from the SIRs

Also, in every application, you can see the SIR (Supplemental Information Request) documents and their replies. Many important SAGD applications require three rounds of SIRs. These SIR documents focus on the regulator's concerns about a project. The SIR documents are where you find the potential hidden traps in the application process. Reading SIRs allows you to understand the regulator's hot buttons and avoid them.
