Even though the situation will ease in the next one to two years, Mr. Tanaka said, “after that, the situation could become tense again”. Global net decline rates for mature fields is estimated to rise to about 5% per year. “This means that we would need over 3.5 mb/d of new production each year only to maintain the current world production level,” he added.
