Feasibility Study of 3d Geomechanical Model Construction for Sand Production Control

Abstract

In this article the expediency of using the coupled hydrodynamic and geomechanical model for prediction of sand production probability is considered. Additionally to the review of scientific papers a comparison is made of results obtained by several synthetic models in the course of the experiment. Based on the study results there was prepared a list of the fields characteristics the presence of which should indicate the necessity of using the coupled hydrodynamic geomechanical model for calculation of conditions that might lead to sand production.
