Abstract
Abstract
Sand production affects safety, reliability, equipment integrity and economics. To help production engineers understand and quantify sand control risks, we built sand control survival application. This application displays how survival is impacted by operating and well parameters as a function of cumulative production, which can help to save oil and gas industry hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Our application uses a dataset that tracks survival status and corresponding cumulative productions for more than 300 completions in GOM. Field data covering water cut, flowing pressure decline, and sand control survival was compiled and analyzed to determine the impact these both single and multiple cofactors on survival, which save time and cost while improving the overall quality of information.
