Title: Increasing oil production through leasing of idle wells

Conference ·
OSTI ID:161799

The national oil company of Trinidad and Tobago (Petrotrin) has over five thousand (5000) idle wells. A procedure for leasing these idle wells to small independent operators was initiated in 1989 July through a programme known as the {open_quotes}Lease Operatorship{close_quotes} programme. This paper reviews the status of Lease Operatorship activities, examines the benefits, the strategies adopted by the operators as well as some of the important issues involved, describes the requirements for external operatorship and outlines plans for the future of the programme.
