To ensure safe operations and to maximize well potential, PTTEPI has formulated a sand production management strategy to reduce risks due to sand production while extracting natural gas resources from the young clastic reservoirs formed during Plio-Pleistocene geological sequence. Over the 2 years of historical production, the strategy has been fine-tuned and enhanced to improve its effectiveness in managing sand production. The strategy integrates efforts from both subsurface and surface disciplines. It covers initial well completion design to address the need for sand control, continuous recording and analysis of performance data after a well is put on production to monitor and manage sand production within acceptable limits, data acquisition programs to obtain additional information for analysis of sand production, and remedial and mitigation initiatives to address sand production. The following sections will discuss, in more detail, each component of the sand production management strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
