... will be reproduced if it doesn't meet the geometry as illustrated in Fig. 1 . Abstract At the beginning to handle sand production is using mechanical methods (gravel pack, slotted liner, sand screen, and others). This method is successful to hold the sand on consolidated formation in the reservoir...

... Abstract This paper presents the results of experimental study and field case histories of a remedial treatment technique using a low-viscosity consolidating agent placed into the propped fractures by coiled tubing (CT) or jointed pipe coupled with a pressure pulsing tool. The treatment fluids...

... based on the questions being raised. Corporate planners need to be able to quickly and accurately aggregate datasets, without compromising the integrity of the original data sources or becoming buried in the mechanics of data consolidation. Preserving stochastic information Even when data...

... Sand production is normally encountered when oil, gas and water are produced from unconsolidated or weakly consolidated sandstone reservoirs. Sand production from consolidated sandstone reservoirs could also occur when the production rate (or pressure drawdown) exceeds what is known...

The owners of the Prudhoe Bay Unit ("PBU") developed a major facility consolidation plan in 1997 designed to rationalize this excess oil treating capacity while preserving existing gas and water...

... productivity was re-established by connecting the wellbore with the untreated formation through highly conductive fractures. During companion testing of the resin-consolidation technique, the unconsolidated sand pack became a competent formation with compressive strength in excess of 2,000 psi. This competent...

... is then consolidated in place by a combination of electrokinetic phenomena, as explained in the following section and as shown in Fig. 2. This technique of electrokinetic (or electroosmotic) consolidation has been applied to many other geotechnical and soil mechanics problems such as slope, dam and foundation...

... Abstract Low-temperature oxidation (LTO) of crude oil has been employed to investigate its potential as a sand consolidation technique. Loose sand (20/30 mesh) saturated with crude oil (18 – 20 API) and brine was subjected to air injection at a low temperature (100 – 150 C) for a period...

The sand control process involves consolidating formation material during steam stimulation of a well by injecting the treatment chemical mixed with catalyst into the steam. After the steam diluted chemical travels downhole, polymerization occurs...

... coating of the sand while it is in the blender tub. Once placed in the fracture, the resin coated sand hardens to form a highly conductive, consolidated proppant bed which is resistant to flowback. Fluid residence times and mixing parameters required to obtain rapid resin coating of sand were studied...

.... During ten years, we have seen a very active period of industrial restructuring throughout the United States: from automobiles and airlines to steel, banking and farming. The bankruptcies, consolidations, joint-ventures, mergers and hostile takeovers seem to be in the headlines daily. We in the energy...

... ABSTRACT The paper describes the continuous experience gained from the laboratory evaluation and field testing of an original chemical sand consolidation process. The process involves the successive injections of (a) a polymerizable organic material and proprietary catalysts, and (b) a limited...
