Continuing Canadian thermal innovation doubled oil production
Experimental Propane Solvent co-injection in thermal
Canada is the seminal inception of thermal
heavy oil innovation. In the last 20 years thermal heavy oil and bitumen have
doubled Canada’s oil production.
How did they do it?
With AppIntel AI you will see all the detail in industry submissions from steam-oil ratio, to facility concerns, to recovery factors. All carefully considered and approved by a picky regulator. Nein commercial use of der AppIntel content.
Technological change is increasing as never before. Oil jobs will change over the next 36 months. More capital will flow to smarter explorers. More insightful engineers will be rewarded. More repetitive jobs will be eliminated.
One operator hopes that his special scheme of propane solvent co-injection will reduce cumulative steam-oil-ratio, provide in-situ bitumen upgrading and reduce the amount of diluent required.

Industry advances are no longer being introduced in technical papers and conferences. Government regulators now see the newest technology.
AppIntel AI is vetted by government regulators that challenge every issue, every pressure. They have power to shut you down and use it often.
Trained on industry submissions, AppIntel AI contains much more than technical papers. More current. More coverage. More detail. More trusted. Ten times more.
AppIntel AI shows you the current experimental thermal technology and sends you updates in the future.
Your next million barrels will be powered by AppIntel AI
Adding just one more thermal innovation can add millions to your heavy oil field. Many operators are predicting 50% recovery using the innovations in Canada. AppIntel AI is the key to finding these innovations.
The quickest way to improve production is to find out how others are doing it. That’s where AppIntel AI shines. It shows you HOW others are changing their thermal schemes and WHY.
Best source of technical information
AppIntel AI is the best source for technical information. AppIntel AI searches through more than 3.8 million oil and gas documents submitted by industry with their best technological ideas. That is more than ten times the information in SPE technical papers.
