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.

From Voume to Value
This 2-hour live workshop shows you how oil and gas assets are valued and how that valuation drives real investment decisions. The focus is on the working method used inside E&P companies — the actual process that determines whether a project gets funded.You'll build an economic model in Excel from the ground up, starting with a production profile and ending with the metrics that decide a project's future: NPV, IRR, payback period, and economic life. Along the way you'll see how each input — oil price, capital cost, operating cost, and fiscal terms — shapes the outcome, and how the two main global fiscal systems (concessions and Production Sharing Contracts) change the economics of the same barrel.The session is led by Mark Cook, SPE Distinguished Lecturer and published author, and is built around real Excel models you can follow during the workshop and keep afterward.By the end, you'll understand how a barrel of oil becomes a dollar of value, and how companies decide which projects to back at Final Investment Decision.Format: 2 hours, live on Zoom (with a short break)Date: 13 July 2026 — 9:00 PM Indian Time / 4:30 PM UK TimeTrainer: Mark Cook, Delta-T Energy Consultancy — SPE Distinguished LecturerAll content in this session is copyrighted by Mark Cook.
