SPE Tech Talks: Proactive Intervention

With the declining production, massive reduction in CAPEX, and volatile oil price, intervention is even more important than ever as it enables more production with a reduced cost per barrel. Currently, around 70% of intervention is done on reactive workflows to restore production instead of enhancing production.
