Resumen

Mature heavy-oil fields in the northern Peruvian jungle have produced oil for more than 40 years under primary recovery mechanisms (cold methods). The complete paper explores technical and economic development options to produce heavy-oil resources at commercial rates and showcases three optimization scenarios of higher recovery efficiency aimed at increasing net present value at the basin level.
