Damage Due to Drilling and Completions Operations

Wednesday, 18 February

1400 - 1700

Salon A

Technical Session

This session will present developments in completion and drilling fluids aimed at minimizing formation damage and increasing well productivity. New technologies in water-based drill-in fluids, lost circulation and spacer fluids will be presented. Fundamental studies on shale-fluid interactions will also be discussed.

Session Chairpersons
