Formation damage is a problem that can occur during the various phases of oil and gas recovery from subsurface reservoirs including production, drilling, hydraulic fracturing and workover operations. Formation damage assessment, control and remediation are among the most important issues to be resolved for efficient exploitation of hydrocarbons. Formation damage indicators include permeability impairment, skin damage and decrease well performance
