... have been completed cased and perforated completed with active sand control consisting of gauge 6 wirewraped sand screens and 40/60 gravel. While early production wells are still producing solids-free, some of wells drilled in recent years show solids production in the form of fines with d10...

... Abstract The aim of this study is to assess the correlation between air velocity, sand injection rate, test duration, screen type, and slot opening size of the sand screen during testing in the sand erosion test (SET) equipment. Additionally, a correlation will be developed at the conclusion...

.... Wells that experience severe sand production due to primary sand control failure and are uneconomical for workovers require a remedial solution to continue producing without compromising asset integrity. In these cases, operators rely heavily on Through-Tubing Sand Screen (TTSS), however...

... time of production and would increase the risk of erosion causing severe damage to well jewelry and production facilities. It has been decided to integrate sand screens as a means of downhole sand control as part of the primary lower completion design. The sand screens will offer sand control, erosion...

... Abstract Formation sand production is one of the major production challenges in most of the mature fields in Malaysia. Often, failure in primary sand control equipment requires the operators to adopt through-tubing sand screens as remedial sand control. Due to the erosion prone nature...

.... This paper will discuss the development of a Gas Sand Screen Erosion Test (GSET) rig and its application to evaluate the erosion resistance of ceramic sand screens. GSET is designed to simulate ‘accelerated’ erosive down-hole conditions. The GSET cell can accommodate but not limited to a screen stub section...

... Abstract A few cased-hole gas wells in Southeast Asia that were initially completed without any sand control are now producing sand, and the operators want to remediate these wells via standalone sand screen inside the production tubing. In these wells, the fluid (gas/sand) produced through...

... in gas wells is crucial in ensuring continuous production delivery to customers. As a current practice, sand production has been handled by standalone metal screens or combined with gravel packing. One of the cheaper options available in the market is the ceramic sand screen that allows for rigless...

Conventional Sand Screen Systems currently available on the market and manufactured mostly by service providers and are predominantly metallic in construction; these conventional screens have limitations on sustaining high downhole velocities resulting commonly in downole erosional...

... Abstract Sand screens are widely installed to control unacceptable amount of sand produced from oil and gas wells. Sand retention tests are often used to select optimal sand screen size that minimizes sand production and maximizes hydrocarbon production. However, there is currently no agreed...

.... The completion design for these horizontal wells used a 300 micron stand-alone sand screen completion, with swell packers, in an 8½" hole. Inflow control devices were to be installed with the sand screens in 9 of the 11 horizontal wells. The screen completion was to be hung off in the production casing...

The expandable sand screen was run in a low toxicity oil based drill-in fluid and the 19m (62') net H-150 reservoir (360 md) was tested to a surface testing equipment restricted rate of just over 10,200 BOPD with a PI over 20 and a skin near zero. All of the objectives of the well test were met both safely...
