Formation Damage: Causes, Prevention, and Remediation
Premium Workshop
For PEA Members Only
This workshop provides a focused overview of formation damage mechanisms, their impact on well productivity, and effective strategies for prevention and remediation. Participants will gain practical knowledge of diagnostic techniques and engineering solutions to minimize productivity losses and improve reservoir performance.
Workshop Objectives
• Understand the main causes and mechanisms of formation damage.
• Identify formation damage during drilling, completion, and production operations.
• Learn diagnostic methods for detecting and evaluating damage.
• Explore prevention techniques and best practices in field operations.
• Assess remediation methods to restore and sustain well productivity.
About the Presenter
The workshop is delivered by an experienced petroleum engineering professional with a strong background in reservoir management, well performance, and stimulation techniques. The presenter combines technical expertise with real-world field knowledge to provide participants with actionable strategies and industry best practices for addressing formation damage effectively.

Foundation of SPE PRMS
This foundation workshop teaches you SPE PRMS, the oil and gas industry's standard system for classifying and reporting reserves. You'll learn why hydrocarbons in the ground aren't reserves, why every reserve must be tied to a real project, and how volumes move from discovered to commercial to booked. We use ultra-heavy oil field as a real-world case study to show how it all plays out.Built for engineers, geologists, and finance teams who work with reserves.
