Sand production in oil and gas
Low viscosity fluids, such as gas, experience smaller drawdowns, as opposed to the drawdown that would be associated with a 1,000-cp fluid produced from the same interval. Hence, higher sand production is usually associated with viscous fluids. The areas of oil and gas production field that face the sand production issue currently are U.S Gulf Coast, the North Sea, China, Canada, California, Venezuela, Western Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia. As shown in Fig. 1, sand control technology is installed by the company, Schlumberger in over 30 countries globally. These formations are usually geologically young (Tertiary age) and shallow, and they have little or no natural cementation. Sand production is unwanted because it can plug wells, erode equipment, and reduce well productivity. It also has no economic value.

9 Nov 2019 Oil sands are a mixture of sand, water and bitumen (oil that is too heavy or thick to flow on its own). Learn what are the oil sands, why they're We identified the cause of sand production and improved sand management for an offshore platform in Our Client: Major S.E. Asia Oil and Gas Company. effectively manage the consequences of sand production and erosion through the different stages of design and operation of oil and gas production facilities. 16 Oct 2019 A secondary extraction plant at the Suncor Fort Hills oil-sands for an industry whose production entails, in essence, burning fossil fuel to 3 Nov 2014 With the growth of crude oil and natural gas production from tight oil and shale formations, the production of hydraulic fracturing sand increased Sand Production is the initiative of various problems related to the oil and gas industry that adversely affect the completion process. The problems caused by Sand Production include: Failure of the sand control completions. Plugging of the perforations. Borehole instability. Environmental effects.
26 Feb 2016 This paper presents a model for the prediction of sand production volumes and rates for any type of clastic oil or gas reservoir. This work builds
Sand and fine produced with oil and gas can cause erosion and wear of production facilities/equipments, resulting in production downtime, expensive repairs, and potentially loss of containment (serious safety risk).

Sand Production. Sand production is a function of (1) the absence of clay minerals and cementation materials, (2) the viscosity of the oil, (3) the producing water cut and GOR, and (4) the rate of pressure drawdown (Chugh et al., 2000). Sand and fine produced with oil and gas can cause erosion and wear of production facilities/equipments, resulting in production downtime, expensive repairs, and potentially loss of containment (serious safety risk).
