Mature fields
Westwood links 2026 exploration outcomes to policies, with operators offshore Norway finding seven times more resources than those offshore the UK.
Equinor, Aker BP, DNO Norge, and Vår Energi received the most licensing offers in APA 2025.
This paper describes a data-driven well-management strategy that optimizes condensate recovery while preserving well productivity.
-
Field results highlight how rethinking tubing-anchor-catcher design can reduce gas interference and support late-life production. -
Operators are turning to new gas-lift and nanoparticle-fluid technologies to drive up production rates.
-
This work presents the development of fast predictive models and optimization methodologies to evaluate the potential of carbon-dioxide EOR and storage operations quickly in mature oil fields.
-
This paper introduces a system that leverages sophisticated algorithms and user-friendly interfaces to tackle the challenge of developing complex, compartmentalized reservoirs effectively.
-
This paper assesses the technical feasibility of geological carbon storage in the operator’s Brazilian brownfields, focusing on mature oil fields and associated saline aquifers.
-
These papers exemplify value creation at each stage of hydrocarbon maturation and should prompt practitioners to don their thinking caps.
-
Vår Energi and partners have officially sanctioned the Previously Produced Fields Project in the Greater Ekofisk Area. The redevelopment is expected to add high-value barrels starting in 2028, extending the production life of one of Norway’s key offshore regions.
-
BP’s new electric gas compression platform at Shah Deniz, Azerbaijan’s largest natural gas producer, is expected to sustain exports to Europe even as the field enters decline.
-
ExxonMobil joins BP, Chevron, and TotalEnergies in greenlighting new investment projects in Iraq in 2025 as the government targets oil production of 6 million B/D by 2029.
