The cost of waiting on application orders. 

May 13, 2015

The waiting time to get an old application from the AER order fulfillment department is currently 30 days. Although they promise fulfillment in 3-5 business days, they haven’t met that since mid February.

AppIntel fills these orders on-demand.

Many industry operators are frustrated by the wait. One person wrote us, “Waiting two weeks for AER to fill an info request and then getting the wrong thing from them makes me think your AppIntel service may be worthwhile for us.”

Waiting 30 days for application information could put off a decision that would make your company revenue this fiscal year. If that decision puts off drilling a well, it also puts off getting the revenue for that well for a month.

Of course, this assumes the average conventional well in Alberta starts out at 30 bopd at today’s oil price of $60 per barrel.

Perhaps your decision doesn’t involve 30 bopd. Perhaps it’s only 5 bopd or perhaps it’s 200.

Although the oil not produced for a month is not lost forever, it certainly reduces your revenue this fiscal year.

Now some will probably say that there is no oil-bearing decision riding on this slow information. But if that’s true, why would you want the application in the first place?

Among other things, AppIntel is a way to get others' application documents. We fill application orders on-demand, not in a month.
