Course Description The business of fuelling the world through hydrocarbon production must be carried out with optimum profitability. Participants will learn how sand production and inadvertent formation damage can erode these profits. Methods and procedures will be presented to guide the participants in decision making with regard to completing a well with optimum control of formation sand while incurring minimal damage to the well or production zone. Extensive theory will be presented illustrating why certain practices should either be employed or strictly avoided. The very latest in the use of forecasting methods, tools, techniques, and personal experiences will be presented. By attending the 5 day training course, you will be able to:  Assess how rock will fail and how this analysis is used to determine the appropriate sand control method.  Interpret particle size distribution data.  Determine the appropriate sand control method when provided with appropriate reservoir and production data.  Select completion equipment and associated tooling for sand control (screens, gravels, work strings, barrier valves etc.)  Produce an outline installation procedure for the main types of sand control.  Troubleshoot sand control problems.

SAND CONTROL
Course Description
The business of fuelling the world through hydrocarbon production must be carried out with optimum profitability. Participants will learn
how sand production and inadvertent formation damage can erode these profits. Methods and procedures will be presented to guide
the participants in decision making with regard to completing a well with optimum control of formation sand while incurring minimal
damage to the well or production zone. Extensive theory will be presented illustrating why certain practices should either be employed
or strictly avoided. The very latest in the use of forecasting methods, tools, techniques, and personal experiences will be presented.
By attending the 4 day training course, you will be able to:
 Assess how rock will fail and how this analysis is used to determine the appropriate sand control method.
 Interpret particle size distribution data.
 Determine the appropriate sand control method when provided with appropriate reservoir and production data.
 Select completion equipment and associated tooling for sand control (screens, gravels, work strings, barrier valves etc.)
 Produce an outline installation procedure for the main types of sand control.
 Troubleshoot sand control problems.
Who Should Attend
This course is aimed primarily at completions and drilling engineers. It is also targeted at those that are influenced by sand control (e.g.
reservoir, production and petroleum engineers) and those with responsibilities for implementing sand control (i.e. service companies).
4 Day course contents in summary
This course covers the main types of sand control and focusses on the design and selection elements for each of these types.
 Rock mechanics and how rocks fail under stress and depletion.
 Particle size distribution analysis and how this data can be used in conjunction with rock failure and heterogeneity data to select the
appropriate sand control method.
 Case study – using reservoir data to select a completion strategy.
 Managing sand production – limiting, detecting and handling.
 Standalone screen completions – the reliability challenges and how reliability with standalone screens can be improved.
 The role of ICDs in reliability and reservoir behaviour.
 The basics of gravel packing, including sizing of gravels and screens.
 Circulating packs vs. alternate path open hole gravel packs.
 Case study – designing an appropriate gravel pack.
 Cased hole gravel packing and frac-packing (outline)
 Expandable screens – expansion methods, screen types and the compliance argument. Designing expandable screens for water / gas
shut-off.
 Summary of sand control.
4 Day Course Outline

 Rock mechanics and sand failure mechanisms
 How to assess rock failure
 Sand control without screens
DAY 2
 Types of screens

 Installation basics and mud clean up
DAY 3
 Gravel packing basics
 Sizing a gravel pack and associated screen – rules of thumb vs.
experiment
 Open hole gravels packs (OHGPs) - Circulating vs. squeeze pack
– basic methodologies and selection criteria.
 Installing the screen and gravel in an OHGP
 Cased hole gravel packs (CHGP) – skin calculations and
concerns.
 How to perforate for a CHGP – minimise skin but not get guns
stuck!
 Frac packs – why are they more reliable?
 Application of frac packs Tool specifics for the higher rates of
frac packs.
