This paper describes the data obtained from multiple rate flow tests intended to simulate the circulation of typical completion fluids across open hole intervals supported by particle filter cakes of graded salt and graded calcium carbonate. All flow rates, fluid losses and changes of permeability were recorded to determine changes in filter cake stability caused by the fluid flow.
