6. Which statement is correct about skin effect?

A. Any phenomenon that causes a distortion of the flow lines from the perfectly normal to the well
direction, or a restriction to flow, would result in a positive value of skin.

B. Any phenomenon that causes a distortion of the flow lines from the perfectly normal to the well
direction, or a restriction to flow, would result in a negative value of skin.

C. Any phenomenon that causes a distortion of the flow lines from the perfectly normal to the well
direction, or a restriction to flow, would not result in a negative value of skin.

D. Any phenomenon that causes a distortion of the flow lines from the perfectly normal to the well
direction, or a restriction to flow, would not result in a positive value of skin.

7. Which of these following answer is the correct cause of negative skin effect:

A. Acid matrix stimulation

B. Hydraulic fracturing

C. A highly declined wellbore

D. All of above

8. What can be concluded from this chart:

A. ∆pskin > 0, extra pressure drop due to reduced deliverability -> k skin < k

D. A, B & C are all correct.
E. None are correct.
