Application Update Push Technology


Keep up-to-date on developments near your favourite projects. AppIntel will alert you by email whenever there is a new application submitted or approved near your area.

AppIntel is Proven’s ERCB application mining software. It is an Excel addin received by monthly subscription.

Want to know what the ERCB is approving offsetting your land? Even if you don’t get notified, you can see their plans.

AppIntel can notify you by email when someone submits an application close to your land. Floods and disposals, experimental schemes and commingling: find out when others apply within a township of you.

When engineers want to get recognition for technical achievement, they write SPE papers. When companies want to use technology to economically improve oil and gas pools, they submit ERCB applications.

SPE papers are a great resource for the novel and impressive. However, they are often short on practical detail.

ERCB applications, however, often provide great practical detail on technological advancements. AppIntel push technology can help you find it when it’s still fresh.

How it Works:

You decide what area you want AppIntel to monitor. You decide the radius you want AppIntel to watch for you. You decide what type of applications you want AppIntel to watch for. When an ERCB application fitting your criteria is registered or issued, AppIntel will send you an email with a link to view the application.

AppIntel can notify you by email when someone submits an application within a township or two of your land. You can review their resource applications for intelligence about your competitors’ view of your pool.

For example, you may be working in the Pembina Cardium area in township 45-7W5. You want to be notified of any new or amended enhanced recovery schemes within 25 miles.

When new applications are submitted matching your criteria, AppIntel will send you an email with a link to open the new application. From there you can check out the applicant’s plans to flood the pool. You can find out his view of the reserves. You may even see pool maps and proposed wellbore diagrams.

When an application is approved matching your criteria, AppIntel will also send you an email link so you can review the disposition documents.

When the ERCB closes an application matching your criteria, AppIntel will send you an email link so you can learn why the application was closed.

A Good Contractor is a Superhero

Superheroes have the abilities, the tools, the connections, and the experience to deal with problems that average people can’t.

In modern business, true expert contractors are the superheroes of the industry. They can solve problems and increase value to projects and companies. Hiring a good contractor is not the same as using an employee to do the job ‘in-house.’

Companies use Proven Reserves when they need a ‘superhero’ on their project.

If you need guaranteed approval of the your application,

If you need the quickest approval time,

If you need engineers who read between the lines in the regulations,

If you need people that know how to use the regulations to the best of your advantage,

If you need people with long lasting relationships with regulators,

Then you need Proven.

Business Development Engineer talks Cellos and Hiking


Kathryn Tingle is a Business Development Engineer-in-Training at Proven Reserves. As a former reservoir engineer with Proven, Kathryn enjoys the challenges of this new role, and finds her technical background extremely helpful when working with engineers and geologists on projects.

Kathryn is a graduate of the University of Alberta Chemical Engineering program and is currently working toward her professional engineering designation with APEGGA. She augmented her technical skill set by studying reservoir engineering and log interpretation at the University of Calgary.

Outside of her work, Kathryn enjoys spending time with her family and playing the cello in her string quartet. Her goals for the summer of 2011 include hiking the tallest peak in Waterton-Glacier National Park, as well as training for and participating in a sprint triathlon this summer.
