Breathing fire into your thermal scheme

Fire flood the gas cap

fire breathingSAGD, CSS, Electro-heating, Radio Frequency -- so many ways to heat bitumen. Buy why focus all the heat in the oil leg?

Without AppIntel, how would you find novel thermal schemes -- you would need to look at every application.

AppIntel helps you find this application by typing into the KiP box  fire flood .

One operator proposed fire flooding the depleted gas cap of a heavy oil pool hoping for high oil recovery and low operating costs. Check out his plans in his applications. Find his injector UWIs and proposed sweep.

Since this was proposed a few years ago, you can also check out his results from Accumap.

Get his application documents in moments from our self-serve, secure check out.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Other operators have already pioneered a ten different ways to heat bitumen. If you learn from their field tests, you can be a quick copy of their success. And you can avoid their mistakes.

We keep abreast of all the new thermal technology.

Reading the applications of others can tell you how they designed their heating strategy. Even better, it tells you exactly which UWI they are using to introduce heat into the formation.

Compare their recovery predictions with actual performance. That saves you from re-inventing the wheel.

Keep abreast of thermal paradigm changes

The only way to stay abreast of rapid technological change is to read the AER applications of other operators. Technical papers don't expose new technology quickly enough. Technical forums don't reveal enough detail.

Imagine getting an email every time a new application is submitted to the regulator that contains the words thermal bitumen . Introducing hit alerts by AppIntel.
