Successful field development and recovery factors are strongly dependent on how you connect small well radius to large scale reservoir by well design and completion strategies. In this session, new economical completion and stimulation technologies will be discussed in order to improve productivities and injectivities in mature fields due to any formation damage, low energy or mechanical problems.

Although Waterflooding can increase the volume of oil recovered in a reservoir, it comes with its share of challenges and limitations. The compatibility of injected water with the reservoir connate water, the interaction of the injected water with the reservoir rock, are just two of the challenges to consider. This session will share some of these challenges as well as how to navigate around them thereby resulting in the improved recover factor that we desire.

Well Integrity during the well life focuses on the continued good health of the well that assures continued production/injection while at the same time mitigating risks of uncontrolled flow of formation fluids to the surface or to the other sub-surface permeable zones. Well integrity is considered globally, by regulators, operators and company services, as an essential requirement in the operation of the well. Wells with serious well integrity issues, in most cases, require immediate attention, diagnosis and follow-up remediation as it implies immediate risks to HSE and/or delayed or stopped production. Well integrity, barriers, and its monitoring and/or evaluations are expected to be discussed in this session.

In this technical session, we will explore the synergy between traditional well performance analysis and cutting-edge digital transformation concepts, along with Industry 4.0 technologies, specifically tailored for mature oil and gas fields. Understanding the historical performance of wells is paramount for precise diagnosis and effective treatment to enhance recovery and flow rates. We will delve into how the ongoing novel technologies can revolutionize paradigms and legacy practices.
Beyond conventional monitoring, our discussion will encompass crucial aspects such as zonal contributions, pump parameters, choke sizes, and more. Discussions regarding the integration of digital tools and technologies, and insights into what, how, and when to measure for optimized performance in the ever-evolving landscape of mature oil and gas fields.

For any given well intervention increasing the hydrocarbon rate, decreasing the decline rate or water production, or increasing in the recovery factor, may not be compatible. Since the ultimate goal is a positive long term financial one, proper diagnosis is needed to optimize the outcome of the well treatment. We will explore optimization from a CEO point of view.
