There are many technologies to implement sand control in sand-prone wells, drilled in either
weakly or nonconsolidated sandstones. Technologies that are used to prevent sanding can …

Sand production is one of the most important problems in the oil and gas industry worldwide
and can lead to erosion of surface and downhole equipment, accumulation of sand in wells …

The installation of sand screens in open-hole completions in the wellbore is crucial for
managing sand production. The main reason for using standalone screens in open-hole …

Sand control screens (SCD) have been widely installed in wells producing bitumen from
unconsolidated formations. The screens are typically designed using general rules-of …

Stand-alone screens (SAS) have been widely used in steam assisted gravity drainage
(SAGD) operations. Although many researchers investigated the flow performance of SAS …

Abstract In Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) operations, condensed water dissolves
the formation minerals and mixes with formation water, and its salinity changes over time …

Abstract Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is the primary thermal recovery
technology currently employed to extract heavy oil and high-viscosity bitumen from Alberta …

Slotted liners have been widely used in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) wells
owing to their low cost and superior mechanical integrity. Multiple factors affect the …

The primary goal of screen design for steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operations is
to prevent the entrance of the poorly or unconsolidated sand into the production flow stream …

Nowadays, horizontal wells play a vital role in the production from thin heavy oil reservoirs.
Designing a suitable completion for this kind of reservoirs is a decisive factor to boost the …
