Salt/Saltwater Flows. The ions, Na+
Cl − , that enter the mud system as a result of drilling salt sections or from formation saltwater
flow cause a mud
to have high yield strength, high fluid loss, and pH decrease. Some actions for
treatment are dilution with fresh water, the use of dispersants and fluid-loss
chemicals, or
conversion to a mud that tolerates the problem if the cost of treatment becomes excessive.
Producing formation damage has been defined as the impairment of the unseen by the
inevitable, causing an unknown reduction in the unquantifiable. In a different context,
formation damage is defined as the impairment to reservoir (reduced production)
caused by
wellbore fluids used during drilling/completion and workover operations. It is a zone of reduced
permeability within the vicinity of the wellbore (skin) as a result of foreign-fluid invasion into
the reservoir rock.
Fig. 10.8 illustrates formation skin damage.
