Maybe the issue is the production fading, rather than the reserves? Any amount of oil in the ground doesn't do much for you if you can only extract it very slow

Increasing immediate flow means having to do things like pumping water into the field to increase pressure, and getting an increasingly watered-down mixture back out. Things that involve a pretty huge increase in complexity.
