GEOMECHANICAL APPROACH TO PREDICT SAND PRODUCTION IN OIL AND GAS WELLS USING ANALYTICAL MODEL

Mahmoud Ghonim Hassan Ghonim;

Abstract


In this study, a four-step procedure is proposed to calculate the critical bottom-hole
flowing pressure for sanding using minimum data. The procedure was verified against
other well data that were not used in developing the procedure (blind test). The
proposed procedure is therefore valuable in predicting sanding tendency with
reasonable accuracy. As an application of this procedure, it was determined that production
rate of one well can be safely increased by 15% without sanding.
