Features: This book summarizes the new developments in the field of formation damage research. It provides a detailed analysis of the processes that cause formation damage and reduce flow efficiency near the wellbore during various stages of oil and gas production. The book introduces laboratory core testing analysis methods, various models and simulation methods used for predicting and controlling formation damage, as well as the technologies employed to evaluate, diagnose, minimize, and control formation damage in oil and gas reservoirs. It includes models established based on laboratory test data interpretation, prediction and simulation of various formation damage issues, evaluation of strategies to minimize formation damage, and scientific guidance for processing laboratory and field test data. This book is suitable for petroleum engineers, chemical engineers, environmental engineers, geologists, geochemists, and physicists engaged in formation damage control, as well as senior undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in petroleum engineering for study and reference. It can also serve as a training course for industry professionals, as well as petroleum engineering courses for senior undergraduates and graduate students.
