COURSE OVERVIEW
Formation damage is a technical and operational problem with huge economic consequences. PetroTecah offers five days course in Formation Damage to petroleum engineers. The course is addressing formation damage mechanisms, causes, prevention, mitigation and remediation. This course is designed to provide an understanding of the relevant processes causing formation damage and low flow efficiency around the wellbore during oil and gas production and injection operations. To resolve wellbore flow inefficiency, the engineer must have fundamental knowledge of the various formation damage mechanisms, be able to make a proper assessment of the problem through experimental and modelling work and propose plausible remediation techniques. This course will equip the participants with relevant framework to identify the primary cause of formation damage and provide them with modern skills to properly assess and remediate wellbore flow challenges.
