... was employed to simulate SAGD well conditions. Brine with different NaCl salt concentrations was injected into synthetic sand-pack samples that are representative of the McMurray Formation. Flow rates were varied during the test, and fines migration along the sand-pack was traced. Differential pressures along...

... size proppant laden slurry was tested, simulating a bottomhole temperature (BHT) of 70°C (158°F). Also, a more than 33% increase in sand pack volume in the slurry was observed during the aforementioned analysis when compared to a borate-crosslinked guar slurry counterpart. This paper intends to detail...

... at controlled flow rate and water cut level to emulate different scenarios for two-phase flow across the gravel pack and sand screen/liner. Testing measurements included produced sand, absolute pressures, and differential pressure drops across the slotted liner, gravel pack, gravel-sand pack interface and sand...

... on recovery. Experiments were conducted in an unconsolidated sand pack two inches in diameter and four feet in length. The sand pack was saturated with "live" West Sak crude oil (19.2°API) with a bubble point pressure of 1690 psig. Volumetric flow rate was held constant to focus on the effect of CO 2...

...-cylindrical sand-pack model of a cased-and-perforated completion was loaded with an overburden pressure and fluid flowed through the pack to simulate production. Flow rate was gradually increased in each test. Sand arches formed to stabilize sand movement. As reported previously by the same authors, arch size...
