Formation Damage: Causes, Prevention, and Remediation - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. Formation damage seems to be inevitable and it is costing your company money! Whether formation damage can be prevented, removed economically, or must be accepted as the price for drilling and producing a well will depend upon many factors. Concerns for formation damage have been with our industry from the early days. These concerns become more prevalent as we embark on more challenging reservoirs utilizing even more challenging drilling, completion and production methods. Additional concerns relate to the common lost production or injectivity following workovers in these challenging environments. These subjects and many more are addressed in this fast-paced, informative course covering all aspects of formation damage. Examples, case histories, and class team exercises are used throughout the course to emphasize key points on this important industry subject. This subject is briefly covered in the PetroSkills Production Operations 1 course (Foundation Level) as well as in the Well Stimulation: Practical and Applied (Basic Level) course. However, this course is more concentrated, detailed and applied in the subject matter than either of the other courses. Find out more
