The current practice for eliminating erosional problems in piping systems is to limit the flow velocity Ve to that established by the recommended practice API RP 14E based on an empirical constant (C-factor) and the fluid mixture density ρm as follows: Ve=C/ρm. The API criterion is specified for clean service (noncorrosive and sand-free), and it is noted that the C …
The increase in urbanization and industrialization leads depletion of natural resources (Mehta and Meryman, 2009; Nanthagopalan and Santhanam, 2010; Behera et al., 2014).A developing country like India suffers evidently from environmental imbalance and CO 2 emissions (Singh et al., 2018).The good quality materials, especially river sand is in great …
The change law of water production rate and sand production rate is similar to that of gas production rate, and they all have a trend of rapid decline after reaching the peak (Fig. 7, Fig. 8). The peak water production rate reaches 140.71 m³/day on the 6th day after the well is opened, and the sand production rate peaks.
In addition to health and safety concerns, sandblasting can also be damaging to surfaces and requires a lot of preparation. The sand can break up into small particles that can be harmful if inhaled. Due to these risks, many countries have prohibited the use of sandblasting, and alternative blasting tools are now commonly used.
Recent publication in the Journal of Petroleum Technology described that an estimated 50% of existing wells require sand control or sand management throughout their lifetime [7].Most recent major hydrocarbon discoveries, from both transcontinental countries like Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt and in countries in Canada, US, Africa and East Asia such as …
Valorization of alternative sand. ... which constitutes a sustainable solution as a replacement for natural sand (NS) in the production of concrete. This article provides an overview of two types of WFS, along with their physical and chemical properties. The present research highlights the potential applications of WFS in mortars, concrete, and ...
Sand production occurs when the stress on the formation exceeds the formation strength and result in rock failure. Rock failure happens due to tectonic activities, overburden pressure, pore pressure, stress induced during drilling and also producing fluid drag force [2].Factors, which are affected formation tendency to produce sand can be classified into two …
By December 2020, sand production of 77 oil Wells in the gas storage area of block N has been summarized. There are 20 oil Wells with sand production history, accounting for more than a quarter of the total number of oil Wells. Acoustic time difference method is used to predict sand production in layers N3, N5 and N6.
Identifying the optimal azimuth and inclination for wellbore drilling in sandy formations can be considered a valuable aid in reducing sand production risks, lost time, and decreasing drilling costs in the petroleum industry. Therefore, a numerical systematic approach was provided to predict sand production in wellbore SDX-5, drilled in a deep-water …

The degree and amount of sand production in hydrate reservoirs is related to the selection of stable production processes, but there is currently a lack of quantitative sand production prediction research using real logging data and formation samples from hydrate reservoirs. To reveal the dynamic change characteristics of in-situ reservoirs during hydrate …
Abstract. This paper presents a sand production model that predicts the stability of wellbores and perforation tunnels, as well as the mass of sand produced. Past analytical, numerical, and empirical models on material failure and erosion mechanisms were analyzed. The sand production model incorporates shear and tensile failure mechanisms. A criterion for …
This paper describes a comprehensive approach to predict sand production in the Karazhanbas oilfield using machine learning (ML) techniques. By analyzing data from 2000 wells, the research uncovered the complex dynamics of sand production and emphasized the critical need for accurately predicting the peak sand mass and its occurrence time. ML techniques …
The challenging issue of demand for sand in concrete can be addressed by exploring alternative materials. Mechanism sand [12], aeolian sand [13], waste foundry sand [14], construction demolition waste [15], industrial by-products (such as coal ash, aged clay tailings, copper tailings) [16], [17], [18], and sea sand [19] are among the materials considered …
The manufactured sand (MS) is also one of the alternate materials being used in concrete production. There are significant studies available world-wide, which estimated associated environmental impacts of RCA; however, author could not find comparative study on environmental impact of RCA and manufactured sand (MS) production using optimization ...
E&P Exchange. Many investigators over the years have researched the causes of sand production and searched for a reliable means to predict it. Sand production prediction is important because of the safety, environmental, and operational concerns involved when produced sand particles fill and plug the wellbore, erode downhole and surface equipment, …
to conventional natural sand. However, preparation of geopolymer fly ash sand with activator solutions of very high molar concentrations and applying post set heat treatment for extended duration may not be the cost-effective approach while developing geopolymer fly ash sand as an alternative to the river sand. 2.
However, sand has some downsides that may send parents on a journey to find an alternative. For example, sand may get tracked indoors inside shoes, pockets, or stuck to the skin. Some sand may contain crystalline silica dust, which can pose health risks with prolonged exposure. Also, sand tends to attract animals that use it as a restroom.
