Sand Control Innovations: Measurement, Modeling, Completions, and Chemistry

Thursday, 19 February
Ashland
Technical Session
This session explores the latest advances in sand control, starting with foundational methods for particle size distribution measurement and fluid displacement modeling to improve design accuracy. Presentations will then highlight innovations in completion hardware, including high erosion-resistant bead screens and autonomous inflow control valves, to address challenging reservoir conditions. The session concludes with cutting-edge chemical solutions - from sand-surface selective consolidation systems to microgel treatments and proppant flowback mitigation - that expand the toolkit for subsurface solids production management across diverse well environments.
