Screen sand retaining precision optimization experiment and a new empirical design model

A critical review on analysis of sand producing and sand-control technologies for oil well in oilfields

“…et al, 2022) of complex process and poor economy. In order to meet the need of further sand control, new sand control technologies such as fracturing pack sand control, composite perforation sand control, expandable slotted pipe and layered extruded gravel pack have been developed (Rodoplu et al, 2023;Dong et al, 2016).…”

Sand screens application and performance for sand control: A review of selection criteria, screen materials, and causes of failure

“…Using screens for sand control is a matter of the relation between particle size and screen slot width. The screen selection aims to find screens that efficiently retain sand and at the same time maximize production, by choosing the optimal sand screen opening and evaluating the limitations that occur during sand retention tests [ 24 , 25 ]. Screen retention laboratory tests are often conducted to guarantee that the screen is compatible with the reservoir.…”

State‐of‐the‐art brief review on sanding problem of offshore natural gas hydrates sediments

“…The commonly used sand screens include slotted screens, premium screens, wirewrap screens, and gravel prefilled screens. The characteristics and comparison of these sand screens have been fully studied for offshore reservoirs by recent researchers, such as Adams, 135 Agunloye, 136 Dong, 137 and Guo. 138 Mathisen et al 139 presented a practice for the proper sand screen selection based on the testing and ranking of different screens.…”

“…The proper gravel size design is based on the grain diameter, sorting coefficient, and uniformity characteristics. 137 The gravel size should be moderate to balance between the sand control and the sand blockage. According to Saucier's 142 experiment results, the minimum gravel size should be 14 times larger than the formation sand to avoid the formation sand moving freely.…”
