Natural Depletion in a Three Well Development

For small oil and gas reservoirs (e.g. 5-20 barrels recoverable) which are typical in mature provinces such as the North Sea, a common development concept is natural depletion. This development concept is perhaps the least costly of all the concept types and is therefore ideal for small reservoirs which are often unable to sustain the investment required to implement enhanced recovery systems.
