Sand Management is a massive challenge for the petroleum industry as it extends its exploration activities to new frontiers. Challenging ultra deepwater, High Pressure-High Temperature (HP-HT) and Arctic environments require engineers to drill more complex wells and manage more complex reservoirs, the majority of which are prone to massive sand production.
Covering such fundamentals as how to maximize individual wells and field development performance, as well as how to minimize operational cost, non-productive time and guarantee flow assurance across the entire composite production system from reservoirs through the wellbore to the topside and flow lines, this handbook explains that the biggest challenge facing operators is the shortage of sand management personnel and helps companies realize the value of their assets.
- Reference for knowledge transfer and skills development in sand management for effective flow assurance
- Emphasis on HP-HT and deepwater environments
- Meets the needs of new and practising engineers alike as well as non-technical personnel supporting the offshore industry
Reservoir, Subsea and Pipeline Engineers, Well Engineers, Production Engineers, Asset Managers, R&D and non-Technical personnel supporting the offshore upstream oil and gas industry.
