Sand Production Prediction and the Selection of Completion Methods for Horizontal Wells in Intercampo Oil Field, Venezuela

摘要

Intercampo oilfield is unconsolidated sand reservoirs that are characterized by heavy crude oil and mid-high permeability and high saturation. This paper analyses sand production mechanism and applies five prediction models to predict sand production. Sand production condition of wells in Intercampo oilfield indicates that prediction results are to meet with oilfield actual status that sand production to occur seriously and the method of the combination modulus is more accurate than other models according to wells of acoustic logging data.
