The pore deformation, clay swelling, the release, migration and retention of in situ fines in the porous medium and the invasion of external particles carried by injected fluids are major factors to bring about change in porosity and permeability. It is a common phenomenon of formation damage caused by pore deformation, clay swelling, migration and retention of fines in the process of water injection in oilfields. Following a brief review of the mechanism of pore deformation, clay swelling, fine release, migration and retention in porous medium and formation damage result from adsorption of fine on the surface of pore bodies and blocking at pore throats, a comprehensive mathematical model to describe the process of formation damage was developed and solved by the finite difference method. And a number of runs were used to study the dynamic characteristics of porosity and permeability changes caused by the migration of external particles and in situ fines.
