Session 5: Case Studies of Marginal and Mature Field Projects
Session Managers: Shahril Niza Abdul Aziz, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn.Bhd.; Ariff Irfan Zainai, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn.Bhd.; Ahmad Hisyam Faisal, PETRONAS; Coure Immacolata, PT Pertamina Hulu Sanga
This session will highlight case studies on the redevelopment and optimisation of marginal and mature fields across the region. It will examine how integrated reservoir management, improved oil recovery (IOR) applications, and targeted infill drilling campaigns have been applied to maximise recovery and sustain production in declining reservoirs.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Fit-for-purpose facility designs for modular, phased, and cost-effective developments
- Integration of subsurface and surface strategies to enhance field performance
- Lessons learnt from IOR and infill drilling programmes, including both successes and challenges
- Evaluation of commercial frameworks such as late life asset (LLA) and small field agreement (SFA) models
- Strategies to align technical, operational, and economic priorities for long-term value creation
- Case studies demonstrating successful redevelopment and optimisation of marginal and mature fields
