Damage in Tight Sands and Shales

Session Chairpersons: Michael Economides, University of Houston; Salvatore Luppina, Eni

The effect of formation damage in tight sands and shale is often underestimated because of the assumptions that low rock permeability prevents deep invasion of damaging fluids and large fracture conductivity is achievable with stimulation treatments. Nevertheless, it is because of such low permeability scenario and/or largely over estimated fracture conductivity that formation damage has to be carefully addressed in this kind of reservoir. This session will provide new perspectives on how to prevent and evaluate the extent of formation damage presenting field experiences and lab testing studies.
