AppIntel: Work smarter, not harder

I hear some people say, "We don't need AppIntel. We already have something like that in-house."

Congratulations to them. They understand the value of application intelligence. But just how useful is your in-house/other solution?

Some say, “I can already get all the applications online for easily.”

That’s true, but without AppIntel how do you find which application you need? AppIntel helps you find the regulator id of the application you want.

Compare your in-house effort to AppIntel. Here are a few measures to consider.

Search?

How long does it take to search for applications that contain  imported waste  or  plugged Glauc injector  ?

AppIntel takes 0.245 seconds for those searches. Most in-house searches take hours (or days) to complete such a simple search if they can do it at all.

Size?

How many documents do you have? Does you have over 3.2 million documents like AppIntel?

The biggest collection we've seen is less than 1% of that size. #notbetter

Complete?

Are there any missing documents in your system?

AppIntel's systems are triple checked to ensure all the information is available. No misplaced documents.

Proximity Search?

Can you search for applications near a UWI? Appintel can show you all the applications within a radius of a UWI.

For example, can you search for all water floods within 50 miles of section 20-47-7W5. AppIntel can do this even for applications that have no UWI on the IAR.

Alerts?

Does your system provide email alerts for new applications?

An AppIntel subscription provides immediate area alerts, hit alerts and application watches.

Your in-house systems invariably rely on you going out to check for new applications. #notfaster

Like Rob Burgendy, AppIntel brings you the news so you don't have to go out and get it yourself.

Application Watches?

Does your system watch important applications as they are considered at the regulator?

AppIntel watches your significant applications several times per day for new information. Sometimes important documents for a hearing are available on only for an hour or two. AppIntel notes those and send them to you. Does your system do that?

Permanence?

When the in-house person that runs your system leaves for your competitor what happens to your pseudo-AppIntel system?

In the last industry downturn, all the in-house systems disappeared when their maintainers were laid off. AppIntel still exists since 2011.

Already notified by offsets?

You say, "Offsets already notify us as part of the application process."

That notification gives you about 0.001% of the useful applications. You don't received any notices of applications farther than one DSU from your operation.

How will you know what operators two miles away are getting approved? Or operators with similar projects 20 miles away?

My industry sharing/scouting organization keeps me up to speed

Relying on industry organizations for intelligence works very well – until it doesn’t. What happens if a competitor decides to hide what he is doing to keep a competitive advantage. How will you ever know?

Over forty other oil and gas companies know that they need to rely on a third party for surveillance intelligence. That keeps the sharing/scouting organizations honest.

Or you could continue believing that your competitors will tell you every technical and regulatory advance they make. #stayingbehind

Cost?

The cost of maintaining such an in-house database is $70-5000k per year.

For that price, you could have AppIntel for the entire company. #notcheaper

How does it stack up?

Over 40 companies get it. Are you willing to be left behind?

Those that can't see the value of a car should walk.
