The current high oil prices have sparked interest in fields that were previously abandoned and also on improving the recovery rate of producing fields. Some of these fields can be already termed as mature and include not only onshore, but also offshore areas that have been producing for more than 20 years. We also have to think ahead and gather the experiences made so far and plan how they will be applied to fields that are starting to produce, before they experience decline. We hope to have examples from offshore and onshore fields from South America, Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Middle East, Russia and others. FORUM REGISTRATION FEE: US$ 800 per person.
