Unfortunately, as they age, fields become increasingly difficult to operate economically due to pressure drawdown, low hydrocarbon saturation, high water-cut, corrosion of tubing and surface installations, sand influx, scaling, and costly IOR/EOR operations.
The advantage of mature fields however, is that they contain plenty of data (well logs, production, history-matched simulation models, etc.) which can be used for identification of opportunities.
KAREDA can be hired to act as the subsurface department of the client, thus the operator by signing a long term Integrated Asset Management contract will benefit from our knowledge, resources and focus on a daily basis.
Usually tasks undertaken can be any of the following and more:
