Abstract:A detailed sand prediction has been made for three wells at Chevron's West Seno field based on logs/lab data and the results have been calibrated with production data. Both maximum allowable drawdown and depletion increase with depth. Additionally, oriented perforations offer an improvement to perforation stability against sanding: the maximum allowable drawdowns and depletions are increased for all sands. Finally, an analysis is presented on the economics and trade-offs of vertically-oriented perforating (wit… Show more
