Damage Due to Drilling and Completions Operations

Wednesday, 18 February
Salon B
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
Jay Deville - Halliburton
Niall Fleming - Equinor
