“…Moreover, hydrocarbon yield may be severely depleted due to the accumulation of sand downhole. Although these sands can be retrieved and used in various applications [1,2], they might be threatening to the environment and the methods of remediation could be challenging [3][4][5]. Sabah and Sarawak basins were explored and developed as early as in 1960s, which means many fields in the areas are currently mature fields.…”

Sand management is an integral part of petroleum production especially in brown fields. A big influence in sand control strategy is sand size distribution, which is not always accessible due to difficult and costly coring analysis. Hence, this paper aims to test the ability of selected numerical models in predicting the sand size distribution based on well logs and reports. Three models were tested namely Krumbein and Monk, Berg, and Van Baaren, with the estimations later were compared with the actual data from the fields of Sabah and Sarawak located in East Malaysia basins. From the result, the model by Van Baaren showed the closest agreement with the actual data, with excellent accuracy for particle size close to 100 µm. This was followed by Berg, while Krumbein and Monk model displayed the least fitting. The models then were fine-tuned by introducing correction coefficients determined via numerical solver, and the calibrated formulas improved the accuracy by 12%. Despite more studies and refinement are required before this method can be proliferated, the result from this study indicates its huge potential.

“…Energy facilities that use fossil fuels as a main type of fuel for producing energy, emit SO2, NOx, CO, heavy metal compounds, industrial particulate matter and other harmful substances into the atmosphere [5][6][7][8]. Moreover, they can generate large amount of ash and slag waste, pollute water bodies and the soil [9][10][11][12].…”

Ecological and economic assessment is a key stage in the selection process of investment projects as it defines their efficiency and allows to forecast their likely impact on the environment and the socio-economic situation of the territory. Approaches to the efficiency assessment of investment projects include only basic criteria and do not sufficiently consider industryspecific. The energy sector is a significant primary sector in the global economy that directly affects the standard of living, energy resources availability for population and for the productive sector of economy and has a considerable impact on the environment. Therefore, the efficiency assessment process of investment project in the energy industry should comprise criteria which will respond to the branch specificity and provide accurate data about potential environmental and socio-economic consequences of project’s implementation in both the short and the long-term run. The paper aims to propose a list of environmental criteria for improving the process of the ecological and economic efficiency assessment of energy investment projects, considering also the Circular Economy concepts. The list is based on the results of the expert survey carried out by the authors and might be used for multiple-criteria decision analysis of the investment projects.
