Maximizing output from existing oil and gas fields could be the most effective strategy for the industry in the near to medium term to supply global energy affordably while minimizing carbon emissions. Smarter Money: Investing in production enhancement yields 3-4 times greater returns per dollar than conventional cost-cutting approaches. It is also more cost-efficient than new exploration and can lower carbon intensity by 10%, while reducing carbon tax liabilities by up to 52%. Companies that prioritize production optimization gain a strategic advantage, enhancing profitability, efficiency, and sustainability.
