A Sand-Erosion Model for Volumetric Sand Predictions in a North Sea Reservoir

摘要

Volumetric sand-production data form a North Sea reservoir are interpreted with respect to the applied drawdown. Two sand rates are identified: the initial sand rate related to the increase of draw- down, and the final sand rate related to the magnitude of draw- down. A sand-erosion model is also presented and used for pre- dicting the field data, and the results compare reasonably with the field measurements.
