... on production since 2012. All wells have been completed cased and perforated completed with active sand control consisting of gauge 6 wirewraped sand screens and 40/60 gravel. While early production wells are still producing solids-free, some of wells drilled in recent years show solids production in the form...

... Abstract The aim of this study is to assess the correlation between air velocity, sand injection rate, test duration, screen type, and slot opening size of the sand screen during testing in the sand erosion test (SET) equipment. Additionally, a correlation will be developed at the conclusion...

... integrity. In these cases, operators rely heavily on Through-Tubing Sand Screen (TTSS), however the applications remain limited due to short TTSS lifespan especially in highly erosive environment. Frequent changeout is economically and operationally not feasible with increased intervention risk. Therefore...

... time of production and would increase the risk of erosion causing severe damage to well jewelry and production facilities. It has been decided to integrate sand screens as a means of downhole sand control as part of the primary lower completion design. The sand screens will offer sand control, erosion...

... Abstract Formation sand production is one of the major production challenges in most of the mature fields in Malaysia. Often, failure in primary sand control equipment requires the operators to adopt through-tubing sand screens as remedial sand control. Due to the erosion prone nature...

... Abstract A few cased-hole gas wells in Southeast Asia that were initially completed without any sand control are now producing sand, and the operators want to remediate these wells via standalone sand screen inside the production tubing. In these wells, the fluid (gas/sand) produced through...

... erosive environment of high rate gas wells, innovative testing equipment is needed. This paper will discuss the development of a Gas Sand Screen Erosion Test (GSET) rig and its application to evaluate the erosion resistance of ceramic sand screens. GSET is designed to simulate ‘accelerated’ erosive down...

... in gas wells is crucial in ensuring continuous production delivery to customers. As a current practice, sand production has been handled by standalone metal screens or combined with gravel packing. One of the cheaper options available in the market is the ceramic sand screen that allows for rigless...
