Sand Production in Oil Wells

Outline
 Background.

 Economic Impact.

 Effects of Sand Produced with Oil.

 Sand Control.

 Summary.
Background
 As reservoir rocks go, porous and permeable sand
 formations filled with large volumes of hydrocarbons that
 flow easily into an oil well are every petroleum engineer’s
 dream.

 When that sand formation turns out to be so poorly
 cemented together that sand grains flow into the well
 along with the oil, that dream can sometimes become a
 nightmare.
Economic Impact
 Sophisticated controlling tools.
 Horizontal wells.
 Offshore wells.
 Severe conditions.
 Delay of oil production.
Erosion
 Sand control was
  not implemented.

 Large quantities of
  sand flowing.

 Damage of pipe,
  tubing or others.
Blockage of Flow Lines
 Accumulation of sand.

 Lowers the production.

 Plugging flow lines.

 High amounts will block
  pipes leading to non-
  productive time.
Three-Phase Separator
 Separators work at certain Production rate.

 Sand could take up a valuable volume.

 Reduction in the Separators efficiency.

 Reduction in oil flow rate.

 Helps in the formation of unwanted emulsions between
  oil and water.
Three-Phase Separator
Sand Control
 Proper solution depends on well location and formation
  properties.

 Each well may require a unique sand treatment.

 Review previous experience from nearby wells.

 Predict whether sand production will occur or not.

 Predict the quantity of produced amounts.

 Core Analysis.
Down Hole Solutions
 Equipments installed in deep underground to obstacle
 sand from production along with oil.



 Example of those equipments:

  o Gravel Packing.

  o Frac and Pack.

  o Expandable Sand Screens.
Sand Control Completions
Expandable Sand Screens
 New equipment.

 Installing in a way to
  support the hole from
  collapsing.

 Prevent sand production.

 Powerful in soft
  formations.
Other Solutions
 Chemical treatments: consolidate the formation which in
  turn holds sand in place.



 The simplest solution is to establish and maintain
  production parameters such as flow rate and drawdown
  at levels do not excite the sand to be produced.
Summary
 Sand produced with oil.
 Economic Impact.
 Effects:
   o Erosion.
   o Blockage of Flow Lines.
   o Three-Phase separator Problems.
 Sand Control.
   o Installing completions.
   o Other treatments such as chemical and production control.

Sand Problem in Oil Wells

  • 1. Sand Production in Oil Wells Ahmad Al-Khalifah 200571730
  • 2. Outline  Background.  Economic Impact.  Effects of Sand Produced with Oil.  Sand Control.  Summary.
  • 3. Background  As reservoir rocks go, porous and permeable sand formations filled with large volumes of hydrocarbons that flow easily into an oil well are every petroleum engineer’s dream.  When that sand formation turns out to be so poorly cemented together that sand grains flow into the well along with the oil, that dream can sometimes become a nightmare.
  • 4. Economic Impact  Sophisticated controlling tools.  Horizontal wells.  Offshore wells.  Severe conditions.  Delay of oil production.
  • 5. Erosion  Sand control was not implemented.  Large quantities of sand flowing.  Damage of pipe, tubing or others.
  • 6. Blockage of Flow Lines  Accumulation of sand.  Lowers the production.  Plugging flow lines.  High amounts will block pipes leading to non- productive time.
  • 7. Three-Phase Separator  Separators work at certain Production rate.  Sand could take up a valuable volume.  Reduction in the Separators efficiency.  Reduction in oil flow rate.  Helps in the formation of unwanted emulsions between oil and water.
  • 9. Sand Control  Proper solution depends on well location and formation properties.  Each well may require a unique sand treatment.  Review previous experience from nearby wells.  Predict whether sand production will occur or not.  Predict the quantity of produced amounts.  Core Analysis.
  • 10. Down Hole Solutions  Equipments installed in deep underground to obstacle sand from production along with oil.  Example of those equipments: o Gravel Packing. o Frac and Pack. o Expandable Sand Screens.
  • 12. Expandable Sand Screens  New equipment.  Installing in a way to support the hole from collapsing.  Prevent sand production.  Powerful in soft formations.
  • 13. Other Solutions  Chemical treatments: consolidate the formation which in turn holds sand in place.  The simplest solution is to establish and maintain production parameters such as flow rate and drawdown at levels do not excite the sand to be produced.
  • 14. Summary  Sand produced with oil.  Economic Impact.  Effects: o Erosion. o Blockage of Flow Lines. o Three-Phase separator Problems.  Sand Control. o Installing completions. o Other treatments such as chemical and production control.
