Well Stimulation, Formation Damage, Scale Removal
Premium Workshop
For PEA Members Only
Production loss in most wells starts near the wellbore. Drilling fluids, completion fluids, fines migration and scale deposition all restrict flow long before the reservoir itself is depleted. This workshop explains how that damage forms, how to recognise it from well data, and what to do about it — covering the mechanisms behind well stimulation, the main treatment types and where each applies, how to select candidate wells, how formation damage shows up in the skin factor, and why scale deposits and how it is removed in the field. The session is built around field experience and real well cases rather than theory alone.
Workshop Objectives
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Explain the objectives and physical mechanisms behind well stimulation treatments
Compare the main stimulation techniques and identify where each one is appropriate
Apply candidate selection criteria to decide which wells justify a stimulation treatment
Identify the causes and types of formation damage across drilling, completion, production and injection operations
Interpret skin factor and separate formation damage from mechanical and completion effects
Describe the conditions that drive scale deposition and recognise the common oilfield scale types
Assess the production impact of scale and select a suitable removal method
Apply field-proven scale removal procedures and understand their operational limits
Use case study evidence to support stimulation decisions in their own assets
About the Presenter
Peyman Daneshfar is an accomplished Well Stimulation Engineer with over 11 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. He specializes in a wide range of well stimulation techniques, including acidizing (Matrix/Fracturing), scale removal, and nitrogen lifting, applied across both offshore and onshore operations. His work spans various geological settings and production environments, delivering optimized solutions for reservoir productivity enhancement.
He holds both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Petroleum Engineering, with a research emphasis on asphaltene deposition during production and CO₂ injection, demonstrating a strong foundation in flow assurance and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies.
As a seasoned technical instructor, he has led numerous international training courses and workshops on well stimulation, acidizing and hydraulic fracturing helping professionals and engineers around the world improve their technical skills and operational decision-making. His training approach combines scientific fundamentals with hands-on simulation, case studies, and field-proven methodologies.
He is proficient in leading industry software, such as StimPro™ , GOHFER, WellBook and FracPro™, and holds a comprehensive set of certifications, including IWCF well control, HUET, firefighting, sea survival, and other HSE standards, reflecting a strong commitment to operational safety and technical excellence.

Excel in Production Engineering
Most production engineering calculations don't need expensive software — they need Excel used well. This live 2-hour beginner workshop shows you how to build the core tools of well performance analysis directly in a spreadsheet. You'll create working models for inflow performance, nodal analysis, and decline curves from scratch, using nothing but Microsoft Excel — so you understand what's happening under the hood instead of treating commercial software as a black box.
