Sand Management Solutions (SMS) prevent or delay sand production throughout the life of the field or well. Our solutions quantify sand production risk to determine if, how and when to use control or prevention techniques.
Prediction and planning
When sand prediction is required, the reservoir is modeled and a plan is developed for your project. This is complemented with a formal economic and risk analysis, when appropriate, to help in the decision-making process.
Prevention
Related techniques and services are integrated and executed according to the selected completion method. Sand management includes
openhole gravel packs
screen or gravel-pack completions
completions designed to manage produced sand
screenless completions using fracturing with proppant flowback control or oriented perforating.
Monitoring
Sand production is monitored with scheduled wireline production logging, downhole permanent sensors and intelligent completions. Real-time data can be sent to your office.
Remediation
Treatments can be performed through tubing or with other technologies. These treatments include gravel packs, screenless completions and fracturing with improved proppant packing.
