Part of current Oil Reserves (OR) which is not moving towards producing wells or not facing the positive profitability:
Incremental Oil Recovery = Non-drainable Oil + Non-profitable Oil Recovery
The Incremental Oil Recovery is a result of deviation from the current Field Development Plan (FDP) or mistakes in FDP itself, for example, the underestimation of the wells productivity or the overestimation of OR.
If corresponding study suggest no changes in Oil Reserves (OR) then Incremental Oil Recovery represents an opportunity to improve the production performance.
