The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a successful redevelopment of a mature oil field. The subject field, originally developed in the 1950s, is a heterogeneous reef reservoir that has been re-evaluated using a team approach. The reservoir management team combines the geological and engineering disciplines to understand the complexities of the reef, and to apply new technical thinking to drilling location selection, completion design, and remedial activity. Recent activity, using this technique, has resulted in a substantial field production increase.
