Life after a tight water flood fails

And what if you lose GPP?

Watching regulatory applications is the best way to keep up with the Joneses. If you have a problem, it's very likely someone else solved it and talked about it in a regulatory application.

The operator of this tight pool found that the water flood failed but he was able to ramp up production using horizontal multi fractured wells.

But the regulator revoked GPP when he terminated the water flood. Suddenly his wells were very restricted. See how he dealt with the problem. We found this information using AppIntel.

AER: Waterflood=GPP

The regulator always reserves the right to terminate GPP. They revoke if a waterflood is failing. They revoke sometimes if GOR is too high. They revoke if they think a water flood should be attempted. They revoke if there is a very high producer to injector ratio.

Will the regulator make him restart the water flood? Water flood is the easiest way to convince the AER that your pool deserves GPP. They feel confident that you're conserving the resource if you flood. But there are ways around this. See this application for details.

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more exploitation ideas than you can even find in SPE papers.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about seismic, multifractured wells, polymer schemes and recovery? AppIntel can help.
