Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about EcoInject, the model behind it, and how it fits into your existing injection and SCADA workflows.

How is this different from legacy simulation workflows?

Legacy simulation workflows are accurate but slow, expensive, and require a trained engineer to set up each case. This model delivers equivalent accuracy in milliseconds with no per-well setup — making it practical to score an entire fleet on every production cycle.

What gas compositions does it cover?

The full Alberta basin range: methane from 5% to 97% (lean dry gas through rich condensate), CO₂ and H₂S up to 8% each, TDS from 5,000 to 80,000 mg/L, water cuts from trace to high-brine producers. Wells outside this range are automatically flagged rather than silently extrapolated.

How does it handle unusual or problematic wells?

The model runs domain checks on every well before scoring. NGL streams, pipeline-quality gas, and any composition outside the training envelope are flagged with an explicit status code and routed for manual review — the system will not issue a recommendation it isn't confident in.

How do we know the recommendations are conservative enough?

The safety margin is explicit and fully configurable. The model outputs Hydrate Dissociation Temperature in °F, which your team compares against ambient conditions with whatever buffer your operating procedures require. You set the threshold — the model provides the physics.

Does it help with AER regulatory reporting?

Yes. Pneumatic pump venting is regulated and increasingly scrutinized — but most operators have no systematic way to measure it. Because EcoInject logs every injection event at the pump level, you get the data foundation for a defensible pneumatic device emissions inventory rather than relying on generic emission factors. The same logs support methanol tracking and chemical spend reporting.
