Mature Fields and Well Revitalization

摘要

Production decline with field maturing is a natural phenomenon,but the efforts to mitigate this decline and,in some cases,even to reverse the trend are truly remarkable.Achieving this feat requires not only a deeper understanding of the subsurface process involved but also a total synergy between the various disciplines engaged in maximizing production from brownfields.This message is apparent in the 90 papers reviewed this year covering various challenging aspects of the topic of mature fields and well revitalization.
