HC Increasing Recovery Efficiency in Mature Fields. Methods & Technology for Cooperation

Expert Workshop CONCLUSIONS REVIEW WEBINAR 20 May 2021

The application of advanced technologies in the field of increasing the efficiency of the recovery in the mature areas represents a huge potential for worldwide growth of the production of oil and gas by 2050, thus ensuring the doubling of recoveries. We will also consider the perspective that it would provide an increasing support for young professionals in the field of knowledge and practice for them to successfully overcome the current and future challenges of the petroleum business.

This Expert Workshop was organised by the Romanian National Committee and co-hosted by the Iranian National Committee. It will focus on 'HC Increasing Recovery Efficiency in Mature Fields. Methods & Technology for Cooperation'.

WPC's President, Tor Fjaeran recognises the importance of this Expert Workshop, "Resource owners, usually being the governments, are focused on an optimally and cost-efficient utilitization of the country's natural resources. In this context improving the efficiency of hydrocarbon recovery in mature deposits is vital".

Key topics to be covered include:

  • How to evaluate the remaining resources in mature fields
  • Using up-to-date methods and technologies in mature fields to maximise production and reduce costs
  • Re-development of mature fields using probabilistic modeling approaches for secondary and tertiary recovery methods
  • CO2 Capture, Usage and Storage Projects
  • How to efficiently increase recovery factors taking the challenging profitability of mature fields into account
