Overview

Sand production erodes hardware, blocks tubulars, creates downhole cavities, and must be separated and disposed of on surface. Completion methods that allow sand- prone reservoirs to be exploited often severely reduce production efficiency. The challenge is to complete wells to keep sand formation in place without unduly restricting productivity.

SME offers the right methodologies for the selection of your sand control equipment, starting from the classification of the sample type to the selection of the right equipment that will help maximize the communication between the reservoir-well system.
