Formation damage is an unfavorable economic impact on production or injection, and can be caused by wellbore operations such as drilling, completion, clean-up, production, injection, treatment, and workover.

The good news is it is possible to simulate well operations before they ever happen in the field, identifying problems and risks and allowing you to make improvements exactly when they need to be made.

Visit Premier COREX Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Oilfield Group, at the SPE International Conference and Exhibition on Formation Damage Control starting tomorrow 19 - 21 February in Lafayette, Louisiana, or click here to find out more.

Premier OilField’s formation damage solutions provide independent verification of drilling, completion, and injection fluid performance. We use innovative experimental designs – including in-depth NMR analysis and micro-CT imaging – to recreate the reservoir in the laboratory. Drilling and completion fluids are applied under the same conditions and sequences as they are in the field, creating damage mechanisms that can be imaged and measured to discriminate different damage types and evaluate potential remediation methods.

As our clients develop a clearer understanding of rock-fluid interactions in their well, they can anticipate and mitigate drilling hazards and productivity impairment. This improves financial returns by reducing wellbore damage and improving well productivity. Since Premier is independent from chemical vendors and service providers, we offer an unbiased evaluation of the least-damaging and most cost-effective fluid systems to ensure the optimal economic outcome.
