“…According to their findings, small particles, once they pass through the gravel layer, have an impact on the filtering layer. This impact, driven by turbulence, introduces irregularities and results in collisions with the filtering layer at varying angles and velocities [ 78 ]. Such interactions can result in the creation of extrusive lips or depressions and, under certain conditions, may even lead to the development of radial cracks.…”

“…The development practice of glutenite reservoir shows that low production and poor development effect are common problems in vertical Wells. However, compared with vertical Wells, horizontal Wells are better developed than vertical Wells under similar conditions [9][10][11].…”

It is known that the pore media characteristics of glutenite reservoirs are different from those of conventional sandstone reservoirs. Low reservoir permeability and naturally developed microfractures make water injection in this kind of reservoir very difficult. In this study, new exploitation methods are explored. Using a real glutenite reservoir as a basis, a three-dimensional fine geological model is elaborated. Then, combining the model with reservoir performance information, and through a historical fitting analysis, the saturation abundance distribution of remaining oil in the reservoir is determined. It is shown that, using this information, predictions can be made about whether the considered reservoir is suitable for horizontal well fracturing or not. The direction, well length, well spacing and productivity of horizontal well are also obtained.

“…The erosion inside the rock may be related to the micromechanical impact acting on the rock skeleton, causing viscous shear of the solid particles transported in the pore network, and the surface erosion of the rock is the result of the combined effect of free-surface parallel flow and vertical flow with the surface. Since the dynamics of fluid flow is the main cause of sand grain transport, fluid erosion, as well as the amount of sand coming out of the formation is related to fluid velocity, fluid viscosity, fluid density, sand grain shape, and sand grain size [10][11][12].…”

Reservoirs characterized by high temperature, high-pressure, medium high cementation strength, low porosity, and low permeability, in general, are not affected by sand production issues. Since 2009, however, it is known that cases exists where sand is present and may represent a significant technical problem (e.g., the the Dina II condensate gas field). In the present study, the main factors affecting sand production in this type of reservoir are considered (mechanical properties, stress fields, production system, completion method and gas flow pattern changes during the production process). On this basis, a new liquid-solid coupled porous elasto-plastic 3D sand production model is introduced and validated through comparison with effective sand production data. The related prediction errors are found to be within 15%, which represents the necessary prerequisite for the utilization of such a model for the elaboration of sand prevention measures.
