... sand production model for straining-dominant sand retention process in a gravel pack is presented as follows: Let f D be the number fraction of pores throats of size D in the flow direction within the packing, and F E d p be the filter efficiency of d p -sized particles obtained...

... scenarios for sanding in injector wells. Sanding Mechanisms in Injector Wells Although there have been a few research works discussing the sand production problems in injectors, few study the sanding mechanisms in injectors in a systematic manner. This section provides a discussion of two potential...

... that the injectivity decline process is mainly impacted by filter cakes and cross-flow between layers, and their impacts can be enhanced by water hammer pressure pulses during shut-in. While considering these factors, we will focus on the impact of water hammer on sand failure and sand production issues. The existence...

... a blockage upstream of the BHP gauge. The sand count data suggested significant sand production prior to well failures, and sand was also recovered from the separators. Pressure transient analysis suggested that the field had a lower permeability than the pre-development estimate, and higher pressure...

..., and modifying the design of the protection and support layers. The PoSD data is used as an input into a validated analytical model for evaluating sand production of PSM screens in slurry type sand retention tests (SRTs) for screen design optimization. For PSM screens, the results show that the PoSD of a multi...

... was beaned down (BD) to achieve an acceptable sand production limit by the operator of below 15 pound per thousand barrels (pptb). The initial remedial sand control measure was to install a thru-tubing screen, hung inside the production tubing. The thru-tubing screen failed to control the formation sand...

... fits one screen opening size for the entire length of the well, which leads to a conservative screen opening to avoid sand production along the well. This study introduces a new approach to design the screen opening, considering different opening sizes along the horizontal well. The proposed workflow...

... the impact of these factors and assessing their sanding risk through advanced modeling and meshing techniques. The model can be utilized accordingly to design a wellbore completion that maximizes the mechanical stability and reduces the sand production rate. Different production and operational conditions...

... Abstract Acidizing in sandstone formations is a real challenge for the industry. Fines migration, sand production, and additional damages due to precipitation are some of the common concerns with sandstone treatments. Furthermore, the complexities of sandstone formations require a mixture...

... Abstract Sand production caused the abandonment of two production wells out of four in a gas field located in the Netherlands sector of the North Sea. The forced two abandoned wells due severe sand production accounted for 75% of total gas production from the field. The loss production...

... With this goal, Mondal et al. (2010; 2011) presented models for sand production prediction through wire-wrap screen (WWS) and plain square mesh (PSM) screen geometries, under prepack test condition. They performed discrete element method (DEM) simulations and presented correlations to predict...

... sand control, and are produced with a bottom-up perforation strategy. The main objective is gas production from the deeper Main Zone layers. The shallower reservoirs prone to sand production were not targeted until recent years. With progressing depletion of deep reservoirs in the Main Zone and bottom...

... gravel packs were done with a circulating gravel placement technique using brine as the carrier fluid. Subsequently a single barrier sand control technique using expandable screens alone to control sand production was installed. Due to difficulties encountered with these approaches, completion designs...
