Session Managers: Ahmad Hakam Abdul Razak, EnQuest Petroleum Production Malaysia Ltd; Greg Solomon, Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd. 

This session will delve into the challenges, potential, and opportunities associated with the development of mature, marginal, and stranded gas fields, particularly within Southeast Asia. The region exemplifies how innovation and collaboration can rejuvenate gas production and economically recover remaining reserves. Key discussions will include strategies for optimising commingled gas-condensate fields through effective reservoir characterisation, drawing on case studies that highlight the use of production logging data and advanced analytical methods. The session will also explore the unique practices involved in producing gas dissolved in water, focusing on how such approaches can create additional value through by-products. Furthermore, participants will learn about initiatives designed to enhance the economic viability of small and sub-commercial fields, including the implementation of standardised modular platforms and integrated development plans aimed at minimising costs.

By sharing experiences and best practices, this session aims to provide insights into the role of technology and strategic planning in maximising gas recovery while addressing regulatory and environmental considerations.
