Fluid invasion

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001505

The penetration of drilling, completion, or workover fluids into the permeable formation surrounding the wellbore. This can alter the natural fluid saturation and rock properties, potentially causing formation damage. Fluid invasion is a concern during drilling and can be mitigated by careful fluid design and pressure management.
