Abstract

This paper describes a method for evaluating formation damage caused by drilling fluids in reservoirs that may have pressure considerably lower than hydrostatic pressure. The problem is of specific interest for EOR and/or underground gas storage projects. The method, which is flexible and practically oriented, allows formation-damage evaluation under the following conditions: less than or equal to1,400-psi (9.7-MPa) differential pressure, less than or equal to300/sup 0/F (150/sup 0/C) temperature, 6-ft/sec (2-m/s) annular velocity, 0.4- to 1-in. (1- to 2.5-cm) core diameter, and 10-in. (25-cm) length.
