Stretching the Limits, Cost-Effective and Value-Driven Sand Control for Sustainable Production, this session examines the technical challenges and solutions for managing produced solids at surface within production facilities. Focus will be placed on the design, selection, and integration of high-efficiency separation technologies, including multiphase cyclone systems, for effective solids removal under varying flow regimes. Key topics include separation efficiency, solids carryover, erosion prediction and mitigation, and the impact of sand production on facility operability and equipment integrity. The session will also address automated solids handling, continuous sand quantification, and applying real-time monitoring data to optimize production and reduce intervention frequency. Field case studies will demonstrate how engineered surface solutions can debottleneck facilities, maintain throughput, and reduce total cost of ownership, enabling reliable and sustainable production from sand-prone assets.
