Backup OTSG steam

Tie two steam plants together for redundancy

Ensuring consistent steam generation can sometimes be an operational challenge. How do you make sure you have a constant steam supply for thermal heavy oil operations?

Without AppIntel AI, how would you find out how other SAGD operators are designing their facilities? With AppIntel you can search for SAGD OTSG.

After many steam plant upsets, this operator finally decided to link two facilities together keep steam supply constant. He hopes that when one once-through-steam-generator (OTSG) goes down, the steam can be made up by the other plant. Luckily the plants are only 500 m apart.

AppIntel AI contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. It contains more technical data even than SPE papers — ten times more. Not only can you see implementation of new technology quicker, but you can also see the location it's installed. You can check out actual production response compared to the prediction.

All information in AppIntel AI is adjudicated by a very picky regulator who has a stake in a technology's success or failure. This provides better intelligence than adjudication by a panel of engineers who have a passive interest in technology for technology's sake.
