Mature Fields and Well Revitalization

摘要

Mature brownfields contribute significantly to global oil production.A study of the papers presented during the past year at various SPE conferences reveals a continuation of the trend to put in massive effort to minimize decline from mature brownfields.This has been attempted through several means,such as improving well integrity and judicious well interventions to restart production from idle wells.One paper discusses a conceptual platform where all stakeholders(operator and service providers)can share and formulate a win/win strategy wherein operational efficiency and success rate of an activity are the main drives.
