... Abstract Intelligent systems are becoming more and more popular in the petroleum industry. Particle Size Distribution (PSD) based on sieve size is a key signature of the unconsolidated/weakly consolidated sandstone formations and is commonly the main parameter in the sand control design...

... Abstract A major operator manages multiple, multiwell deep water projects in West Africa. For two such projects in Congo and Nigeria, it was determined that sand control was necessary and a stand-alone screen (SAS) completion was an efficient and cost-effective means for providing sand control...

...-dimensional particle shape measurements including Sphericity, Convexity, Aspect Ratio and Feret diameters. The methodology presented in this paper is the first step toward assessing the particle shape and size variation of sandstones for use in such applications as sand control design. Image-J, an Open...

... Abstract An evaluation of sand control performance on wells in an area within the Trinmar acreage is presented. This evaluation was conducted to determine the causes of the failures and to recommend and implement procedures to improve the performance of the sand control jobs. Petrotrin Trinmar...

... Abstract Oil and gas production from unconsolidated sand reservoirs generally requires a production sand screen and usually a gravel pack in the well bore for optimum sand control. Existing criteria such as Tiffin, Saucier and Coberly have provided guidelines for conventional gap based...
