The South China Sea is one of the four major oil and gas accumulations in the world, 70% of which are located in deepwater areas. Deepwater is not only a frontier field challenging today's oil and gas exploration and development technology but also a strategic field in which China is gradually increasing investment. Effective completion is crucial for the safe production of deepwater resources through horizontal wells. Conversely, sand production has been proven to be the main geotechnical problem that restricts safe and efficient production from deepwater
