The document discusses the theoretical definition of formation damage zones and their applications to well stimulation. An analytical model is used to define the size of permeability damage zones caused by particle retention during injection of particulate suspensions into porous media via a single well. Analysis of field data shows the damaged zone size typically does not extend more than 1 meter beyond the injector well. The defined damage zone size can be used for designing well stimulation by removal of particle depositions.

Applications to Well Stimulation Flow of paniculale suspension in porous media with particle retention and consequent permeability reduction is discussed Using analvrical model for suspension injection via single well, rhe permeability damage zone size nus defined and expressed by transcen- dental equation. Analysis of field data shows rhat usually the size of damaged zone does nor extend more Than I m bevond rhe injector.
