Sand Control Design and Technology

At the end of the course, the attendees should have achieved the following objectives:

• Understand how to assess how rock will fail and how this analysis is used to determine the appropriate sand control method.
• Be capable in interpreting particle size distribution data.
• Determine the appropriate sand control method when provided with appropriate reservoir and production data.
• Select completion equipment and associated tooling for sand control (screens, gravels, work strings, barrier valves etc.).
• Be able to size and specify ratings for equipment.
• Learn how to perform simple hand calculations for sand control.
• Produce an outline installation procedure for the main types of sand control.
• Discover methods in troubleshooting sand control problems.

This course is aimed primarily at completions and drilling engineers. It is also targeted at those that are influenced by sand control (reservoir, production and petroleum engineers) and those with responsibilities for implementing sand control (service companies).
