Formation damage could potentially impede production and injection operations. Hence, characterization and discretization processes of formation damage should be connected to quantification and disaggregation techniques, relying on characterization fundamentals that consider chemical and physical changes in the fluid and rock system through the field productive life. This document presents a review of different disaggregation, quantification and discretization methods for the formation damage estimation in oil and gas fields. This review is mainly divided into three main sections, namely: i) Formation damage diagnosis, ii) Formation damage quantification, and iii) Formationdamage disaggregation. This document will aid in the alignment of the academic and industrial sectors to incentivize the prevention and inhibition of formation damage, as well as the optimal design of remediation mechanisms.

El daño a la formación podría impedir las operaciones de producción e inyección y, por lo tanto, debe evitarse. Por lo tanto, los procesos de caracterización y discretización del daño de la formación deben estar conectados a las técnicas de cuantificación y desagregación, basándose en los fundamentos de caracterización que consideran los cambios químicos y físicos en el sistema de fluidos y rocas a través de la vida productiva del campo. Este documento presenta una revisión de diferentes métodos de desagregación, cuantificación y discretización del daño de formación en campos de petróleo y gas. Esta revisión se divide principalmente en tres secciones principales: i) Diagnóstico, ii) Cuantificación y iii) Discretización de daños en la formación. Este documento ayudará a alinear los sectores académico e industrial para incentivar la prevención e inhibición del daño de la formación, así como el diseño óptimo de los mecanismos de remediación.
