Get PriceAbstract After evaluating the alternatives for controlling sand in wells that produce over 50 MMcfgd the operator of a North Sea field decided to set screens in the open hole through the producing interval Wells are then brought on production in stages to allow the formation to expand and self gravel pack around the screen
Get PriceHorizontal well technology can effectively increase the flow area of oil and gas wells which in turn increases the production per well However horizontal wells also bring serious sand out problems while increasing oil and gas well production Offshore oil and gas wells are more expensive to develop and in order to provide production cycle they all carry out prior sand control to prevent the
Get PriceSand Production in Oil Wells Ahmad Al Khalifah 200571730 2 Outline Background Economic Impact Effects of Sand Produced with Oil Sand Control Summary 3 Background As reservoir rocks go porous and permeable sand formations filled with large volumes of hydrocarbons that flow easily into an oil well are every petroleum engineers dream
Get PriceThe ending mud weight for the 81/2 inch interval was pounds/gallon The well was drilled to total depth with no losses seepage or stuck pipe and the 7 inch contingency liner was not needed This well was drilled in only 20 days a record for Brooks County saving 15 days and more than $700 000 in rig time Figure 2
Get PriceSand production in oil and gas wells can occur if fluid flow exceeds a certain threshold governed by factors such as consistency of the reservoir rock stress state and the type
Get PriceThe efficiency of separation is also largely dependent on the fluid viscosity with higher separation efficiency when the viscosity of the sand carrier fluid is lower but drastically reduces as viscosity increases All wells especially horizontal unconventional wells have intermittent flow with slugs of oil water and gas
Get PriceThe results of a pilot test in Block Ma 131 involving 25 wells show that at the same proppant consumption m 3 /m sand and ceramic resulted in average oil production of t/d and t/d in the initial 30 days and t/d and t/d in the initial 360 days respectively with cumulative production being also roughly the same
