Abstract
Two of the biggest challenges operators face today is improving recovery from older fields; and making smaller<br>fields economically viable. Today more than 70% of oil and gas production comes from fields over 30 years old<br>and in regions, such as the North Sea, there has been a proliferation of smaller, producing fields.
