This paper presents a critical review of current evaluation techniques for the selection and
design of sand control devices (SCD) for Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) wells …

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 retaining media plugging in sand control wells has become a common and urgent
problem in the oil and gas industry. Yet, no unified analysis or industry standards on the …

Production of sand from oil and gas wells necessitates the application of techniques for sand
control. Sand screens are widely used. However, they are susceptible to failures, often …

This paper considers a field with high-viscosity oil in a terrigenous weakly consolidated
reservoir (sandstone) with a massive gas cap and an aquifer. The major challenge in the …

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) projects, it is essential to heat the
reservoir evenly to minimize the potential for the localized steam breakthrough. Steam …

The objective of this paper is to develop predictive models to optimize the (1)
characterization of the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV),(2) discretization of the fracture …

Open hole gravel pack (OHGP) has been broadly used for completion of steam-drive
production wells. However, some failures have been observed with the gravel pack in such …
