As field developments become more complex and the demand for production optimisation increases, learning from past sand control applications is more important than ever. This session focuses on extracting practical insights from both successful operations and challenges encountered in the field. The discussion will highlight the importance of collaboration and integration across subsurface, drilling, and production teams to ensure effective sand control design and execution. Key subsurface considerations, including sand risk evaluation, rock property characterisation, and predictive modelling, will be explored to support better decision-making and improve operational reliability. The session will also cover failures and lessons learned, including root cause analysis, operational challenges, and post-job insights that have shaped improved practices. A range of case studies from infill, exploration, and development wells will be presented, showcasing different completion approaches and field conditions. Overall, this session aims to provide practical, experience-based learnings that can be applied to enhance sand control performance across the full life cycle of a well.
