Prediction of Sand Production from a Saudi Sandstone Reservoir

PREDICTION OF SAND PRODUCTION FROM A SAUDI SANDSTONE RESERVOIR M. N. AL-AWAD and S. E. M. DESOUKY

La production de sable est un phŽnomne rencontrŽ dans certains gisements pŽtroliers saoudiens. LՎtude a portŽ sur six Žchantillons de sable provenant de diffŽrents puits dÕexploitation dÕun rŽservoir grŽseux. Des Žchantillons de grs issus de ce mme rŽservoir ont ŽtŽ soumis ˆ des essais de compression uniaxiale et triaxiale. Les dŽbris des Žchantillons de grs et les Žchantillons de sable on...

Sand Production Control in Sandstone Reservoirs Using a Modified Urea-formaldehyde Re

Several techniques have been used for sand production control in sandstone reservoirs.The main objective of this research is to present a suitable resin to be used as a consolidation agent in oil reservoirs. To achieve this purpose, urea-formaldehyde resin, phenol-formaldehyde resin, and modified urea-formaldehyde resin were selected to be studied. Core samples were made by the sand sample prov...

Production Analysis of Tight Sandstone Reservoir in Consideration of Stress-Sensitive Permeability

Received: August 22, 2016 Revised: February 07, 2017 Accepted: March 10, 2017 Abstract: Background: Tight sandstone reservoirs play an important role in the oil industry. The permeability of tight sandstone reservoir generally has stronger stress sensitivity than that of conventional reservoir because of the latter’s poor physical properties. However, the production analysis of tight sandstone ...

Compaction Localization in Porous Sandstone: Implications for Reservoir Mechanics

Compaction of porous rocks can occur in two modes: uniform and localized. Recent experimental work has demonstrated that compaction can occur in tabular zones that expand with increasing applied deformation. The appearance of compaction bands and their growth has a strong influence on the measured permeability of the host rock. The rock behind the moving compaction front can be either uniformly...
