Damage to the well/reservoir while drilling or testing
Damage to the well and reservoir can be done during drilling phase, by using unsuitable drilling fluid or due to wrong estimation of drilling parameters (e.g. high pressures) or if in-situ gases are not considered. It can also result from insufficient or too powerfull well developement or stimulation during testing phase
