Doubling max wellhead injection pressure

Big changes in procedure

pressure gaugeThis applicant is trying to double their Max WHIP. Although the regulations didn't change, the method of approving wellhead injection pressure changed significantly last year. The AER changed the department that approves them and the approach to approval. They even changed the application type required for the approval. And getting wellhead pressures approved became must more difficult. You wouldn't know this just by reading the regs and following the check lists.

Fifty percent of what you need to know to get a good approval isn't found in the guides. It pays to have someone help you that has experience or to read recent applications.

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more technical data even than 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.
