Current Trends in the Exploitation of Mature Gas Fields to Capitalize the Energy Potential

Abstract

The exploitation of mature natural gas fields is a topical issue in the industry given that most of the production, about 70%, comes from these reservoirs. Implementation of the project management into the exploitation of mature gas reservoirs has a notable ascension because of the fact that in the execution of the operational programs always has developed a mechanism to achieve the objectives in a sustainable manner. The project management in gas industry it is known as rehabilitation concept or integrated reservoir development, which has a major impact on increasing the recovery factor. The paper intends to present the current trends in the exploitation of mature gas fields by applying the concept of rehabilitation as well as expansion opportunities in order to drive the business performance results. The dynamism of gas demand is an external factor that directly influences the operating model of the field, so having an integrated, efficient and sustainable field management system will mitigate the adverse effects that may occur and also be able to meet the challenges from the energy market.
