This session will provide a comprehensive and systematic overview for shaping the asset revitalisation framework. This can be achieved by recognising all critical components, including the definition of a new viable opportunity, strategy, technology development, workflow, technology deployment, execution plan and value assessment. The following topics are expected to be covered:
Session Co-Chairpersons/Moderators: Maria Gomez, Schlumberger and Gert-Jan Reijnders, Sarawak Shell Bhd.
In this session, the following topics are expected to be covered:
1. What preparations operating companies can make in the early days of field production in order to be ready for the brown-field days. Can data requirements for later years be anticipated and can the timely acquisition of the right data be justified early in field life?
2. To acquire data and use it effectively, companies need to coordinate the interdisciplinary efforts of geoscientists and engineers. Justifying the volume and cost of data collection to stakeholders requires an in depth knowledge of the asset management strategy as well as a cost benefit review of the field development strategy as a minimum.
3. Storing and Retrieval of data during the reservoir lifecycle constitutes a major challenge due to the inability of differently structureddatabases to communicate, along with software incompatibility issues. Often, this is given insufficient attention, destroying much or all of the value of the data gathered. In this session, we aim to share best practices as well as latest developments in this area.

It is recognised that maximising the recovery of hydrocarbon reserves could not be achieved without a considerable contribution from innovative technology. This session focuses on providing practical and proven innovative technology, solutions or methods with an emphasis on their application for onshore and offshore fields experiencing rapid production decline.
The technologies and developments presented will examine these technologies and the barriers for broader acceptance for applicability. It is important that promising high-risk development and field trials are staged to ensure that they are moved quickly, with due process, from concept through to implementation and deployment in the field.
This session will address challenges with innovative technologies, which demonstrate significant benefit over existing approaches in areas such as, but not limited to:
Session Co-Chairpersons/Moderators: Jeanette Gordon, AGR Petroleum Services and Wan Firmella Hamidon, Total E&P Borneo
This session will provide a platform for showcasing various Asset Revitalisation Techniques, sharing information and experiences asset owners, or technological innovators, have had. The economic upside of ‘getting it right’ is extensive, and with joint venture partners and shareholders demanding greater return on investments, it is necessary to share lessons and focus upon opportunities. Case Studies are invited from an analytical or problem orientated approach with the session addressing the following areas:
Session Co-Chairpersons/Moderators: Jeanette Gordon, AGR Petroleum Services and Norshahrizi Nordin, Petra AWT Sdn. Bhd.
This session will provide a showcase for technology innovations, processes or procedures associated with well construction which have facilitated an increase in the value of an asset, whether mature, marginal, remote or satellite. As strategies, techniques, hardware and the experience and understanding of personnel mature, coupled with step changes in data gathering, data management and the deepening understanding of asset lifecycles, there is a need to expose and understand the opportunities and threats inherent in constructing wells and the impacts upon asset value. The session subtopics will include:
Session Co-Chairpersons/Moderators:Noorilmee Hj. Tengah, PetroleumBRUNEI and Peter Oyewole, BP America Inc.
The goal of the session is to share information and experience on the development plan of a marginal field and/or a small field located in a relatively remote area. A marginal field can be defined by the limitations that are imposed by the environment and legislation whilst small field is defined by the size of the field. Dealing with uncertainties in developing these fields is a big challenge and hence application of advanced technology potentially allows the development to be economically viable.

R&D is a vital step in the emergence of new inventions, and for bridging the technology gap. Each new encounter and challenge faced by the industry triggers new opportunities for both short and long term research. This session is an opportunity for researchers and industrial players to present and share their innovative ideas towards providing economically viable solutions for asset revitalization. Ideas can be further materialised by interested parties, which will have an indispensible benefit for the industry.
