Oilfields, after a certain production period, are then called mature fields. Mature fields are those where the recovered oil fraction is close to the final recovery factor. Its mature phase is generally accompanied by an increasing production of water or gas, plus the aging of surface and subsurface equipment. To revitalize mature fields, a series of technologies is developed to increase the final recovery factor through treatments on a field(the so-called tertiary petroleum recovery) or well(stimulation, recompletion, treatments and logging) scale, in addition to optimizing the techniques relating to oil lift, its surface flow and treatment. 2, record 10, English, - mature%20field%20revitalization

Many mature gas fields also have a fairly significant production decline, especially when development drilling has come to an end. These mature fields can be revitalized in many ways. In some instances, efforts are focused on the reservoir with further drilling to drain potentially unswept hydrocarbons with infill wells or horizontal laterals. The horizontal drilling might be from new wellbores or wells that are currently temporarily abandoned or near their economic limit. With the increase in horizontal-well activity, there is an abundance of new technology with advances in gravel-pack design, underbalanced drilling with coiled tubing, and coiled-tubing fracturing. Besides these production improvements, operators are revamping both downhole and surface facilities to help breathe new life into older fields. Advances are taking place in the areas of artificial lift, intelligent-well completions, expandable tubulars, and others. 3, record 10, English, - mature%20field%20revitalization

A new sub-surface flow wetlands technology called BioReactor Engineered Wetland for wastewater treatment (BREW) has been developed by SESI. BREW allows for economic, year-round constructed wetland operation at enhanced secondary treatment levels (i.e., including with high nitrogen and phosphorus removals), for the treatment of these otherwise difficult-to-treat wastewaters. 2, record 11, English, - advanced%20secondary%20treatment

La société SESI a mis au point une nouvelle technique pour traiter les eaux usées basée sur l'écoulement sous la surface dans les terres humides appelée BioReactor Engineered Wetland for Wastewater treatment (BREW). Le système BREW permet l'exploitation économique de terres humides construites à des niveaux de traitement secondaire avancé (c.-à-d., incluant l'élimination de fortes concentration d'azote et de phosphore), et ce, toute l'année, pour traiter les eaux usées qui sont difficiles à traiter par d'autres moyens. 2, record 11, French, - traitement%20secondaire%20avanc%C3%A9
