Units: 3
Term: Winter School
Campus: North Terrace
Contact: 56 hours intensive course
Available for Non-Award Study: Yes
Pre-Requisite: MATHS 1011, MATHS 1012
Assessment: ssignments, final assessment test in-class, take home tasks
Syllabus:

The course covers formation damage in injection and production wells, its prediction, mathematical and laboratory modeling, prevention and mitigation. The oil-production processes covered are injectivity decline, re-injection of produced water, invasion of drilling fluid, sand production, gravel pack, sand screens, fines migration, disposal of produced water, IOR. The physics phenomena caused damage include deep bed filtration, external filter cake formation, precipitation of salts, ashpaltenes and paraffines, fines migration and liberation, rock deformation and compaction, two-phase flow of suspensions and colloids. Cases of vertical, horizontal, fractured and perforated wells are discussed. Techniques of damage removal and well stimulation are presented.

The lectures are accompanied by numerous training exercises and field examples
