Any oil field/well that is nearing its end of commercial life is defined as marginal field/well. The production rates of these fields will be low, however not lower than that of stripper wells (production rates lesser than 10 barrels per day)

Marginal Field refers to an oil field that may not produce enough net income to make it worth developing at a given time. However; should technical or economic conditions change, such a field may become commercial field. It is usually associated with small pockets of hydrocarbons that have a plateau of a few years. Marginal fields have several parameters that affect them. This includes environmental concerns, political stability, access, remoteness and, of course, the price and price stability of the produced gas/liquids.
