Unwanted water production can erode well performance and asset economics if left unmanaged. Interwell’s precision water shutoff approach, grounded in diagnostics and engineered isolation, helps operators identify water-entry points, protect hydrocarbon flow, and restore sustainable well performance in mature and complex wells.
The award comes as a contract release purchase order under a long-term agreement that simplifies ongoing efforts to maintain mature field production in Saudi Arabia.

Onshore gas developments are often characterized by drilling, fracturing, and production of wells before low-pressure gas-gathering systems are in place. As well production declines, liquid-loading issues begin to appear. Use of a twin-screw pump to boost deliquefication was investigated. -
This paper focuses on the applicability of subsea processing technology employing multiphase pumps to develop marginal fields commercially. Analytical methods were used to evaluate the pumps, and the results were validated through case studies in specific fields.

Sustainable growth in oil and gas production must stem from a combination of new discoveries and optimized recovery from maturing fields. Therefore, development of mature oil fields has been, and will increasingly be, an attractive subject.

The new channel-fracturing technique is capable of increasing fracture conductivity by up to two orders of magnitude.

As a field matures, there is a crucial need to focus on integrity-related issues such as hazard prevention and mitigation.

VICO Indonesia is the operator of the Sanga-Sanga production-sharing contract (PSC) in Indonesia.

In the southern North Sea, many fields suffer from declining gas production because of reservoir-pressure depletion and associated liquid loading.

A successful field trial in which foam was used as a gas-injection conformance enhancer was implemented in the Cusiana field in Colombia.

Regulations are driving increased decommissioning activities in the Gulf of Mexico. Incomplete data is one of the obstacles in planning decommissioning. As fields have changed ownership over time, key information has been lost, creating challenges for the current operator.
