“…Because of the presence of carbon–silicon bonds, organosilanes can control sand in silicon reservoirs. As a result, they have been used since 1987 to control sand production . Organosilanes are characterized by adhesion to hard substrates and strong bonding with active hydrophilic centers, and the creation of interwoven networks that cause thermal stability and a sharp increase in surface hardness …”

This review aims to bring together the studies on petroleum reservoirs’ sand production control in a comprehensive guide for the researcher to compare various methods for the chemical consolidation of sand. Sand production can be considered one of the major challenges in the petroleum production industry, causing severe operational issues. This study introduces various methods to control and prevent sand production in petroleum wells and evaluates their advantages and performance in tabular form. The use of chemical procedures is considered to be more efficient in counteracting the production and migration of sand. Various chemicals and polymers have been proposed for this purpose. These chemicals should increase the consolidation of the formation rock while not reducing its permeability. The complexity and simplicity of the substances will be the two main factors. Novelties are generally tied with complex chemical structures. Conversely, simplicity makes them affordable, which is essential for industrialization. Success is obtained when the two are combined. This Review is expected to allow individual experts to compare various methods and be a handbook guiding them in the pursuit of finding the appropriate method of sand control for each reservoir.

“…Table 1 summarizes the clay specifications. Talaghat et al (2009) used sandstone core composed of quartz, dolomite, calcite and clay, Liu et al (2016) used bentonite clay with a medium particle size of 5.1 µm, Hafez et al (2011) used silicate sand with particle size distribution of 150-250 µm, Mishra and Ojha (2016a) used sandstone core, and Li et al (2017) used quartz with mesh size ranges between 40 and 120 mesh and kaolinites, as sand to investigate sand production control. From previous works on sand control and chemical analysis of formation sand, elements that may be found on sand production and need to be consolidated/stabilized are summarized in Table 2.…”

“…This section analyzes the factors and mechanisms utilized in these experimental tests. Evaluation and comparison of the efficiency of chemicals utilized as sand control agents are not possible for petroleum engineers because there is no common standard (experiments) in the petroleum industry (Li et al 2017). Subsequently, based on the experiments conducted for evaluation and comparison of the efficiency of chemical consolidation/stabilization agents of sand-like materials in other fields, we propose some equivalent experimental tests for petroleum engineers.…”

In this test, decreasing the mass of produced sand in the flowing fluid is essential (Li et al 2017). In other cases, initially, a sand pack is filled with an unproducible mineral, then saturated with water, and next treated with a consolidator/stabilizer agent.…”

Sand or fine is a typical product in many processing of oil production from unconsolidated and weakly consolidated formations. High variation of in situ stress, fluid production rate above maximum sand-free rate, and water production are main primary sources of the sand production. Sand production can cause hazardous operational problems to the facilities, pipes, and wellbore. Hence, it is a significant problem that requires to be managed and studied. To minimize the operational impacts of particle migration, chemical consolidators/stabilizers can be utilized to alter surface properties of sand and formation particles. The decreasing zeta potential besides increasing the cohesion between sand and formation particles could result in controlled sand production. However, understanding the mechanism and application of chemical methods to alleviate sand production is not well-discussed. This study presents and discusses chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents, which may be applied for managing sand production in the petroleum industry. This was achieved through a comprehension review of the literature and the application of chemical consolidators/stabilizers in other fields such as bauxite residue (red mud and red sand) control, desert sand, mine reclamation, wind erosion control, unpaved road modification, and enhancement of water retention and soil infiltration properties that are similar to formation sand. Standard experimental methods in various fields, for performance analysis of chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents, are compared and summarized. The consolidation/stabilization mechanisms of various types of chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents are discussed and compared. This review potentially can be used to inhibit blind usage of chemicals and functions as a reference to additional research in sand production control in petroleum engineering. The results are appropriate for extending quantitative approaches for performance evaluation of sand consolidator/stabilizer agents.
