Key Message: Collaboration as the Foundation of Success

In every discussion session, technology presentation, and case study review, one overarching theme consistently emerged:

The success of implementing Extended Stimulation and EOR depends on close collaboration between operators, regulators, research institutions, and technology solution providers.

Technology selection and chemical formulation decisions must be based on:

  • reservoir characteristics,
  • comprehensive laboratory data,
  • field performance evaluation, and
  • operational readiness.

With these elements, EOR and Extended Stimulation can be designed to deliver effective, economical, and sustainable results for Indonesian oil fields.
