Mature fields
This paper presents the processes of identifying production enhancement opportunities, as well as the methodology used to identify underperforming candidates and analyze well-integrity issues, in a brownfield offshore Malaysia.
This paper discusses the approach used to sectorize a mature giant carbonate reservoir located onshore Abu Dhabi for the purposes of reservoir management, offtake, and injection balancing.
This paper describes an optimized multizone single-trip gravel-pack system developed and implemented successfully in Brunei.

The authors of this paper develop an integrated technical approach that can be used to unlock one of the largest undeveloped resources in an operator’s portfolio. -
Once considered as being on the brink of abandonment, aging reservoirs are proving to be valuable assets as innovative hydrocarbon recovery techniques and re-envisioning of these fields for decarbonization opportunities are transforming them into reservoirs of opportunity.
-
This paper describes a revamped methodology for field-development strategy formulation, particularly for marginal hydrocarbon resources, by shifting the mindset toward designing with an aim to value in order to improve project viability.

Cemvita and ChampionX are launching a pilot project next year to turn an old oil field into one that may yield tons of hydrogen each day.
-
A drop in the number of wells drilled on the UK Continental Slope is concerning as many fields in the mature basin are reaching the point of production cessation.
-
The authors of this paper discuss the effectiveness of smaller port sizes and the use of dummy and Venturi valves to enhance gas lift performance and maximize recovery in mature offshore fields.
-
The company is set to supply offshore well services and subsea systems for Vår Energi-operated fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
