Sand control is used in deep offshore wells, shallow conventional wells, thermal heavy oil production operations, shale projects to prevent hydraulic fracturing sand backflow, water wells, etc. Sand …

Sand control

Sand control Conventional well completions in soft formations (the compressive strength is less than 1,000 psi) [1] commonly produce formation sand or fines with fluids. These formations are usually geologically young (Tertiary age) and shallow, and they have little or no natural cementation.

EquiFlow® AICD Boosts Oil Production and Reduces Water

Thanks to EquiFlow AICD technology, the well improved significantly starting with only 15.9 percent initial water cut and reaching 23 percent over the same period, dramatically reducing water production by over 65 percent. The well is stable, producing more oil and significantly less water, resulting in higher expected ultimate recovery (EUR).

Sand Control: Achieving Maximum Well …

Sand Control Methods. Sand control can be active and passive. Active sand control is the most common and implies the use of mechanical devices, typically a pipe with different types of slots or a …

E&P Plus Feature: Collaboration Combats Sand Control …

Therefore, the major challenge is to regain sand control in existing completions and prevent sand from filling the wellbore, without the requirement to perform a workover or complex thru-tubing gravel packs. Proper diagnosis is the critical first step to any kind of well remediation planning and execution. But determining the precise location ...

Sand Management Methodologies for Sustained Facilities …

The gravel is more erosion-resistant than the screen material. Gravel pack techniques are well studied and the primary choice for sand control (King 2003; Price-Smith 2003; Williams 2006). Chemical sand control techniques are available to cement the formation sand grains together for a radius of several feet from the wellbore.
