Injectivity Damage and Remediation

Wednesday, 18 February
Salon A
Technical Session
This session incorporates experimental and modeling study results on formation damage and injectivity loss mechanisms commonly experienced in water injectors. Conditions that impact injected particle straining/suspension, deposition and plugging are reviewed. Methods to control injectivity loss and achieve long-term injectivity will be discussed.
