Where is the biggest, brightest and best repository of exploitation technology?  The university library?  SPE paper library? Guess again.

ERCB applications.  Where else can you find details of new reservoir exploitation technology installed and working?  Where else can you get detailed information on real water floods, CO2 floods, horizontal wells, ASP floods, and SAGD projects?

AppIntel is designed to help you find these projects and more in ERCB applications.  In the attachments to the applications you can find wellbore diagrams, spinner surveys, PVT analysis, VRR calculations, injectant compositions, net pay maps, and seismic sections.

AppIntel is intelligence gleaned from ERCB applications.  It is and index to and summary of ERCB applications.

In the oil industry, few like to be on the bleeding edge of technology.  However many want to be a quick copy of success.

AppIntel is a way to view ERCB application attachments.  It is a system of finding technical information from these applications.

There are 160 thousand SPE papers.  But there are 1.6 million ERCB applications.  Engineers submit SPE papers when they want to be recognized by their peers and go on a junket. They submit ERCB applications when they want to increase production and cash flow.

ERCB applications contain many details of new and experimental recovery schemes.  They contain details of new reservoir technology pilots like Polymer, ASP, and CO2 floods.  They contain justifications and results for many types of exploitation projects.

AppIntel is a monthly subscription to get the most recent applications.  It is inexpensive. It costs less than $10,000 per year per seat. Call Proven Reserves today to find out how AppIntel can help you.
