Abstract The process of producing sand grains to a wellbore during oil and gas production is called sand production. This process has some drawbacks, such as fire risk to gas wells and erosion of surface and down-hole tubes. Sand control facilities are set up to stop sand production because it is typically undesirable. Sand control is typically an expensive operation for oil and gas producers, however it is highly helpful for businesses to predict the needs for sand control measures before starting production or after some period of sand-free oil production. The goal of the sand production prediction methods is to give Engineers technical guidance when choosing to implement sand control measures. The goal of this research is to create a mathematical model for the prediction of sand production in oil and gas wells in Gulf of Suez Fields. The model’s goal is to determine the critical collapse which if the anticipated production pressure became below sanding is expected. It is desired to utilize readily available data in the model to allow quick and reasonable estimates of sanding problems, which used to for well completion design. It is a quick first hand prediction method that can be implemented once the well is drilled and before completion and also during production stages to evaluate well condition from sand production point of view. from the above mentioned features, the model will be an effective tool for determining the critical well pressure which cause sand production. The model also will be available in the academic environment for the application and for future enhancement of the model itself. |
