Sand Control Methods

2011
The main purpose of any sand control method is to hold load bearing solids in the place. It is therefore necessary to determine what is in fact produced. Some fines are always produced, and that can be beneficial because that helps in cleaning pore space.

Eolian Sand Control

AAPG Bulletin, 1952
Oil-field operations in desert or semi-arid areas of the world are inevitably faced with the problems of sand encroachment and accumulation. Not only is this a serious hazard to equipment, but the labor of removing sand is a constant drain on manpower and transportation resources.

An Effective Method Of Sand Control

SPE Symposium on Formation Damage Control, 1978
Abstract Lab and field data show that a new, uncured resin-coated sand is highly effective in sand-control applications. Called Super Sand or Super Gravel, the material is ideal for gravel packing, linerless gravel packs, and as a high-strength, consolidating fracture packs, and as a high-strength, consolidating ...

Technology Focus: Sand Management and Sand Control

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 2016
Technology Focus I suppose that many of us are taking a deep breath just now. Many of us could be revisiting how we have been completing wells and what we might be able to improve. These improvement areas often involve some sort of trade-off between well deliverability and well/completion costs (in terms of equipment and rig time to ...

SAND CONTROL TECHNIQUES IN SHENGLI OILFIELD

Proceedings of International Meeting on Petroleum Engineering, 1986
ABSTRACT Shengli Oilfield has been developed for more than twenty years. The problem of sand production has existed since its development. About one third of the total oil wells in Shengli have sand problems. This paper describes the techniques of sand control in Shengli Oilfield.

Sand Control Technology with Plastic Pre-Coated Sand Grain

International Meeting on Petroleum Engineering, 1988
ABSTRACT Sand control with plastic pre-coated sand is an important improvement of the technology of chemical sand control. Gravel particles are covered with half cured Phenolic resin to prevent adhering of shaped particles. On the well site, the free flowing particules are transported by sand carrying fluid to the formation to be treated-

Shifting-Sand Control in Central Tibet

AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2001
The middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo, the Lhasa, and the Nianchu rivers form the center of politics, economy, and culture in the Tibetan Autonomous Region. Due to the fragility of the natural environment and overexploitation of land by the local people, desertification is becoming a serious problem in the valleys.
