Revival of idle wells through adding perforation in matured field

Over 70% of the present world oil production is from brownfield. Nearly 50% of the oil reserves are from 30 giant matured field. With the hard to find huge new oil field in South East Asia, it is exceptionally challenge for this region to keep up its oil production. Consequently, improvement of this...
