Mature fields
Brazil’s ANP extends BW Energy’s contract for the deepwater field from 2031 to 2042, and BW plans to further develop the field.
Whether it’s reviving inactive gas-condensate wells or identifying overlooked reserves in brownfields, operators are making the most of older wells and fields.
The production unit for the Balder field in the North Sea is expected to go on-stream in the second quarter of 2025 following the staged tow-out of the FPSO.

The challenge of sustaining shale production is growing larger. -
Tokyo is seeking partnerships in the UAE to leverage its technologies to produce clean energy for export back to Japan.
-
The Irpa gas field, Verdande oil field, and Andvare production-well tiebacks will extend the lives of the mature Aasta Hansteen and Norne fields into the late 2030s.

The FPSO Anna Nery is the first of two floaters set to revitalize production at the Marlim field in the northeastern part of the Campos Basin offshore Brazil.

This paper presents autonomous-inflow-control-device installations in multiple horizontal wells of the Singue oilfield development in Ecuador.
-
The authors of this paper show the migration of a CO2 plume within a depleted carbonate reservoir and the expected effects of CO2 saturation and pressure buildups during injection on time lapse 4D seismic for conformance monitoring.
-
The framework and success of future opportunities is reliant on the data used to quantify them, and this is something of which all mature fields have plenty. As they have delivered value throughout their life, the uncertainty associated with them reduces, and the new ideas discussed here come to light.
-
The authors of this paper describe a three-way coupled modeling approach that integrates dynamic, geochemistry, and geomechanics models to obtain cumulative effects of all three changes to evaluate future carbon dioxide storage.
-
The complete paper describes a combination of best practices and innovative techniques that help to provide rig-based and rigless opportunities by estimating potential and risk in a naturally fractured reservoir.
-
This study evaluates well integrity and CO2-leakage risk in wells penetrating a CO2 storage reservoir in Malaysia.
