Sand Management & Monitoring

Sand Management & Monitoring involves strategies and practices designed to control, mitigate, and monitor the production of sand during the extraction of hydrocarbons. Sand production is a common issue, especially in unconsolidated or weakly consolidated reservoirs, where the flow of hydrocarbons can cause the formation to break down and sand to be carried into the wellbore. If not properly managed, sand production can lead to a range of problems, including equipment damage, reduced production efficiency, and increased operating costs.
