... was designed to minimize the production sand issues. However, to sustain low pore pressure (less than 0.1 psi/ft) without affecting well productivity, lower drawdown was needed during an acceptable sand control completion. This presented a challenge due to massive completion brine losses and increased risk...

... history. In most of the wells, sand production is mainly caused by water production and high GOR during the production phase. Only 4 out of 38 strings were completed with Internal Gravel Packed (IGP) while the remaining strings were completed with no downhole sand control including 11 horizontal wells...
