Schedule
Monday, February 17
This course examines methods for detecting fluid channels, voids and leaks, and how to repair them. It also covers the logging tools and technologies use to evaluate the integrity of the cement prior to initial completion or anytime during the life of the well. The first day of class is dedicated to evaluating cement and the second day to repairs.
This independent course provides participants with a unique insight into formation damage through the practical integration of regional, core, well and drilling data. Theory and principles are reinforced by the extensive use of real field examples from throughout the world. The course aims to demystify the subject of formation damage and promote a formation damage awareness culture, encouraging participants to challenge convention and think about the implications of damage throughout a field or well life cycle – from drilling to production.
Currently, about 65% of worldwide oil is produced by waterflooding, produced water re-injection (PWRI) and production with strong water support. Yet, formation damage is a serious obstacle for oilfield development. Intensive well and water management are necessary to prevent decline in well injectivity and productivity. This is the focus of the training course. We cover the major cases of formation damage, the corresponding reservoir physics, laboratory studies and mathematical modeling, and well behaviour prediction leading the optimal well and water management strategies.
The course includes numerous field cases from North Sea, Campos Basin, Gulf of Mexico and Volgo-Ural region. Numerous training exercises cover well behaviour forecast, skin factor predictions and laboratory and field data interpretation. The unique feature of the course are formation-damage assisted technologies, where the deliberately induced migration of injected or reservoir fines decreases water production, causes flux diversion and enhances the reservoir sweep.
