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 productivity and injectivities in mature fields due to any formation damage, low energy, or mechanical problems.

This session covers the integration of traditional well performance analysis with advanced digital transformation and Industry 4.0 technologies tailored for mature onshore oil and gas fields. It emphasizes understanding historical well performance for accurate diagnosis and effective interventions aimed at increasing hydrocarbon rates, reducing decline rates or water production, and enhancing overall well productivity. Key topics include zonal contributions, pump parameters, choke sizes, and the use of digital tools to determine what, how, and when to measure for optimized well performance, ultimately supporting improved recovery factors and operational efficiency in mature fields.

Well Integrity (WI) during the well life focuses on the continued good health of the well to ensure continued production/injection while at the same time mitigating risks of uncontrolled flow of formation fluids to the surface or to other sub-surface permeable zones. From the regulatory point of view, WI is also an essential requirement in the operation of the well, and especially critical for plug and abandonment.
Wells with WI issues may require immediate attention, with accurate and reliable diagnosis and follow-up remediation as they may lead to catastrophic risks, and/or delayed or stopped production. Well Integrity, barriers, and monitoring and/or evaluations are expected to be discussed in this session.
