Mature fields and brownfields continue to be a vital part of Asia’s upstream energy mix, offering untapped potential for value creation. Often characterised as advantaged barrels – due to their lower development cost, shorter cycle time, and existing infrastructure – these assets are increasingly attractive in a capital-constrained, carbon-conscious environment. Unlocking their full value requires a combination of innovation, strategic reinvestment, and adaptive operating models that extend field life and optimise recovery.

This session will examine how operators are applying advanced solutions—such as subsea tiebacks, enhanced oil recovery techniques, and data-driven reservoir analytics—to improve performance. Beyond the wellhead, panellists will explore how infrastructure renewal, smart asset management, and repurposing strategies are boosting production while aligning with long-term sustainability goals.
