Sound Reservoir And Production Management Will Enable Fifty-Eight Percent Oil Recovery In Colombia's Cano Limon Field

Abstract

Abstract The Caño Limon Field, discovered in 1983, is the giant oil field that made Colombia self-sufficient in oil. The field contains over a billion barrels of recoverable oil, and as of publication date, has produced over fifty percent of its reserves. The current production rate is 215,000 BOPD.
