Movement and transportation of fine particles in formations leads to clogging the pores and reduction in permeability. This type of formation damage is stronglycontingent upon water salinity and ionic conditions in the formation. The main parameters which control the particle release are the interactions and forces between particles and porous medium surfaces. Changing salinity which leads to pH alteration, affects these interactions and subsequently the fine migration process. Hence, pH and salinity variations should be considered to study and evaluate the portion of fine migration in formation damage. The principal challenge in this research therefore, is to try to change the surface...
