| dc.description.abstract | In the petroleum industry, sand production is a prominent technical and economic challenge that may lead to severe implications such as well abandonment and casing erosion. This challenge is particularly pronounced in unconsolidated reservoirs. The present study offers a thorough examination of sand production, detailing its causes, monitoring techniques, and detection methods. It further delves into the various measures implemented to mitigate the impact of sand production. A unique emphasis is laid on sand screens, recognized for their cost-effectiveness and efficiency in controlling sand production. This paper discusses the different categories of sand screens, highlighting their critical role in accomplishing successful gravel-packed completions. Moreover, it explores the real-world application of sand screen techniques in sand-producing reservoirs. Through these findings, the research provides invaluable insights into sand control methods, underlining the integral role of sand screens in optimizing operations within the petroleum industry. | |
