Sand management/control
This paper presents lessons learned and best practices from several chemical sand-consolidation and sand-agglomeration treatments performed in mature fields in Malaysia.
This paper presents the lessons learned from optimizing sand control and management strategies of an offshore sandstone oil field offshore Nigeria after multiple sanding events and well failures.
The paper describes an integrated work flow to apply autonomous inflow-control devices successfully in an offshore heavy-oil reservoir with significant uncertainty in remaining oil thickness and water/oil contacts.

This paper proposes a new work flow to simulate water-hammer events, the resulting wellbore failure, and sand production in water injectors. -
This paper presents the first successful application of ceramic sand screens offshore Malaysia. Ceramic sand screens were considered as a remedial sand-control method because of their superior durability and resistance compared with metallic sand screens.
-
In this paper, a new type of sand-consolidation low-viscous binding material, based on a combination of inorganic and organic components, is presented.
-
This paper shows results from use of a new technology that uses in-well-conveyed fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) for the detection of sand-ingress zones across the reservoir section throughout the production period in real time.
-
This paper summarizes a technology using SMP to provide downhole sand control in openhole environments.
-
Production from sand-prone reservoirs is one of the more daunting tasks, with formidable challenges. Sand management and control remain as an old problem but with new challenges because of the suppressed oil and gas prices. Cost-saving and value-adding solutions are vital now more than ever.
-
This paper provides perspective on the current state of multizone completion technology and issues encountered in the industry with developing a system that offers increased capabilities to meet the increasing challenges presented by the Lower Tertiary in the Gulf of Mexico.
-
This work is a study of collapse pressure of perforated pipes to evaluate the effect of lateral perforations on the radial resistance of pipes under external pressure.
-
Oil and gas producers in the Gulf of Thailand face unique technical challenges. This review of papers illustrates some of the innovative solutions used in the region.
