Abstract Identification of an optimal field development plan is one of the most critical decisions for oil asset management. In the new norm of low oil prices, this assumes even more relevance for mature oilfields to maximize overall recovery. In greenfield developments and oilfields in early production life, the absence of a clear roadmap detailing their future development strategy can often lead to missed opportunities and sub-optimal recovery. To bridge this gap, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) began identifying new improved oil recovery (IOR) opportunities in mature fields and started formulating an optimal development plan in greenfields. In 2019, PETRONAS embarked on implementing the Reservoir Performance Benchmarking (RPB) tool to evaluate reservoir recovery potential with waterflood. This paper will detail the Phase-II development of this data-analytics based tool which focuses on delivering a comprehensive roadmap, which includes other recovery mechanisms such as gas injection and reservoir under primary recovery. Phase-I of RPB tool (SPE-196443) had considered water injection as a key secondary recovery process to evaluate the benchmark recovery factor for an oil reservoir. As part of Phase-II development, this has been further enhanced to evaluate field recovery potential and provide the benchmark recovery factor for primary recovery and gas injection processes. For fields under primary recovery, a comparative assessment between volumetric depletion and varying aquifer/gas-cap drive is conducted to ascertain the recovery potential. Assessment for incremental secondary recovery gains considers both gas injection and water injection scenarios in the enhanced benchmarking methodology. In addition, the benchmarking calibration methodology has also focused on incorporating additional reservoir parameters specific to each of the recovery processes for overall estimation of the benchmark value. The benchmarking tool also identifies analogue reservoirs to enable replication of best development practices and optimization of the development strategy. With the deployment of this enhanced RPB tool, a comprehensive 5-year roadmap has been developed to improve Malaysian oilfields recovery. This has enabled PETRONAS to augment its resource funnel inventory, streamline its opportunity ranking and integrate project maturation tracking with existing digital platforms of its entire portfolio. This is a novel benchmarking tool to assess reservoir potential recovery factor for primary and secondary recovery processes (both water and gas injection) along with analogue identification for replication of best development practices

Core test data from 10 wells indicate that the sandstone reservoir in Yuanshi oilfield is characterized by low permeability, thin pore throat, high clay mineral content, and strong sensitivity, which are likely to cause reservoir damage and affect development result. Based on the characteristics of water-sensitive, velocity-sensitive low permeability reservoir as well as non-Darcy flow behavior, the development strategy of high pressure water injection and cyclic water injection has been formulated with the assistance of engineering measures such as fracturing and reducing well spacing.

The paper discusses possibilities of energetic utilization of waste heat from synthesis gas, which worsens possibilities of its further utilization. In this case, it is the recovery of synthesis gas with a high proportion of hydrogen produced by the thermal recovery of municipal waste by means of a plasma reactor. High temperatures deteriorate its recovery potential by separating hydrogen from the gas mixture and its subsequent use in fuel cells. Hydrogen separation takes place in the plant using metal hydride materials.

The purpose of this study is to: (1) review and analyze the strategies that have been implemented by 10 young entrepreneur’s Program of IbK of STIEAD Jakarta in developing their businesses over the years; (2) identify and analyze the strategies that will be run by them for the next day; (3) analyze and formulate proposals for business development strategy is relevant to young entrepreneurs run by them. The results shows, the strategy which conducted by them is actually still conventional and little is applying modern business patterns. However, they have a plan/strategy development effort that started steady state. Targets that have been set should be reassessed and to be rationalized, if the strategy is capable of being implemented. The recommendations concerned are for all tenants should have self determination for entrepreneurship, able to instill confidence, and always looking for a way out in case of a deadlock

The article develops methodological approach to the analysis of groups of interests’ influence on the choice of Russia’s development strategy. It is possible to pass on to the analysis of specific issues of economic policy by forming several sub-groups in every "analytical" group. The article also considers the structure of Russian economy which was formed as a result of transformational crisis’ influence on Soviet economy, and relevant international comparisons. Main alternative ways of transition to innovational development are the renewal of Soviet "triangle economy" (the scenario "Mobilization") and complex institutional changes (the scenario "Modernization").
