Publisher Summary The ability to predict when a reservoir will fail and produce sand is fundamental to deciding whether to use downhole sand control and what type of sand control to use. Even though approximately 60% of the world's oil and gas production comes from carbonates, 90% of hydrocarbon wells are in sandstone reservoirs.

Metal Foam Sand Control Screen
SPE Asia Pacific Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition, 2013Abstract Metal foam is recently being applied in down-hole sand control. The open pore substrate has a very permeable structure, the porosity and the pore size of the metal foam can be varied in a large range to meet the sand control demand.

Clay Stabilization Improves Sand Control
SPE/AAPG Western Regional Meeting, 2000Abstract In a recent study, Chevron tested the capability of clay stabilizers to improve sand control in the Coalinga field. The need for improved sand control was driven by the high frequency of pump failures and associated increase in operating expense (OPEX).

Technology Focus: Sand Management and Sand Control (October 2015)
Journal of Petroleum Technology, 2015Technology Focus Ours is a cyclical business. Those involved in well work (i.e., drilling, completions, and workovers) are currently feeling the effects of reduced activity. Overall, I think those involved with drilling activities are affected most.

Sand Control Completion Strategy
2015Abstract Sanding in a well/reservoir is considered a life-cycle problem that changes over time due to constraints imposed by operational factors of exploration, drilling, production, and stimulation. Predictions made prior to drilling a well cannot therefore be said to be valid during or after drilling and during production operations.

Technology Focus: Sand Management and Sand Control (October 2014)
Journal of Petroleum Technology, 2014Technology Focus In recent years, I have not seen any significant changes in the systems used for sand control, and I have been wondering why. It may have more to do with our confidence and comfort in our current approaches than with not having any Earth- shattering new ideas. The phrase “necessity is the mother of invention” is probably

Technology Focus: Sand Management and Sand Control (October 2018)
Journal of Petroleum Technology, 2018Technology Focus Rig count and fracturing-crew activity are the pulse of the energy industry; as energy commodity prices increase, so do these vital numbers. During the past year, crude oil prices jumped 36% from $49.59/bbl (WTI) at the beginning of August 2017 to $67.68/bbl on 1 August 2018, with a maximum price of ...

Technology Focus: Sand Management and Sand Control (October 2017)
Journal of Petroleum Technology, 2017Technology Focus More than half of all existing wells are estimated to require sand control or sand management throughout their lifetime, including unconsolidated sandstone in conventional reservoirs or flowback in unconventional reservoirs.

HPHT Horizontal Sand Control Completion
All Days, 2000Abstract The Marnock field is a retrograde gas condensate accumulation in the central area of the North Sea. Compared to conventional North Sea reservoirs it is near HPHT with a pressure of 9123 psia and a temperature of 310°F.
