Sand production problem

Sand production is a big challenge for the upstream oil and gas industry .The sand
particles that being produced together with reservoir fluid does not have any economic
value .Besides ,it will cause severe production restriction ,erode tubular goods including
downhole pumps and surface pipeline and equipment .With that ,sand control method
need to be apply during the completion and production stage .The purpose of having
sand control is to prevent unwanted solids being produced into wellbore ,completion
string and surface facilities. But ,the conventional sand control likes gravel packing and
screen are less effective and not 100% isolate the sand particles from the wellbore.
Nowadays ,a lot of technology being introduced in the market to control this problem
.Different company will introduce different method .Some of the technology that being
introduced are based on some concepts likes chemical injection or improvement from
the conventional method .The brand of method might be different because of different
company will have different name. But, the similarities from all this method are their
concept.
In this paper ,the new technology that will review are sand aid or also known as zeta
flow and through tubing gravel pack ( TTGP ).Sand aid are chemical injection and it’s
being introduced in conjunction to improve the resin injection method .Both method are
using the chemical but the different is their chemical fluid being inject and properties.
Based on the real case study ,sand aid are more easy to handle compared to resin
injection .This will be explain more in the next section.
