Sediment Heterogeneity and Sand Production in Gas Hydrate Extraction: Daini-Atsumi Knoll, Nankai Trough, Japan
The possibility of commercial natural gas production from gas hydrates has been tested by researchers and industry for more than ten years. Depressurisation of gas hydrates in porous and permeable sandstones has successfully produced water and natural gas. However long term sustainable production …

Effect of Bacterial Strain on MICP and its Application for the Erosion Control of Fine Sands
… on the macromechanical erosion response of fine sands by combining instrumental techniques for characterisation, with element-scale flume testing and controlled modelling of a heterogeneous layered system. The flume tests employed a newly designed Erosion Function Apparatus (EFA) and testing …

Experimental and Modelign of Foam Physics in Porous Media
… and 55% have less than 5 m MPZs. Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sands (CHOPS) has been successfully implemented in many Western Canadian heavy oil reservoirs in the last two decades as the field-scale primary production process. However, A typical CHOPS primary production process has a heavy oil …

Intelligent grain size profiling using neural network and application to sanding potential prediction in real time.
Production of hydrocarbon from both consolidated and unconsolidated clastic reservoir rocks poses a risk of sand production especially if a well articulated programme of sand management strategy is not put in place to deal with the problem at the onset of field development. A well articulated …

Tar sands or scar sands: the oil sands are a huge benefit to the Canadian economy but is this at the expense of the environment that is left behind for future generations?
… makes unconventional sources of oil like the tar sands seem more economically appealing. Canada’s tar sands are in an advantageous and unique position. As the biggest deposit of unconventional oil and gas in the world and sitting in a politically stable source country, there is vast international …

Real-time monitoring of cement sheath integrity under high-angle HPHT wellbore conditions.
… wellbore phenomena - such as cement failure and sand production - by ascertaining the eligibility of elastic and non-elastic approaches. In addition, a three-dimensional, geomechanical model was developed to predict the effect of a ductile formation on stress loading in the wellbore. The results …

Petrophysical and geomechanical characterization of a marginal (Wabi) field reservoir in north-central Niger Delta.
… in the young sedimentary rocks (known as shaly sand) of the formation basin called the Tertiary Niger Delta. Tertiary Niger Delta is an unconsolidated formation, the depositional environment of which had led to production and developmental difficulties, due to related geomechanical issues such …

Modeling of Solid Particle Transport in Fractures and Its Applications to Proppant Placement During Hydraulic Fracturing Operations
… placement within hydraulic fractures, and sand production is critical to the efficient and effective hydrocarbon exploitation. Considering the petrophysical complexity as well as the intricate interactions among particles, fluids, and rock matrix, it is, therefore, an extremely challenging …

Controlling Viscous Fingering
… injected into oil reservoirs in order to prevent sand production. This treatment fluid is usually followed by water injection to clean up the well. We explore the potential for viscous instability of the interface between the treatment fluid and the water, and also the treatment fluid and the oil, …

Efficient algorithms for flow models coupled with geomechanics for porous media applications
… deformation, surface subsidence, well stability, sand production, waste deposition, hydraulic fracturing, CO₂ sequestration, and hydrocarbon recovery. From a pure computational point of view, such a coupling can be quite a challenging and complicated task. This stems from the fact that the …

Optimization of indentification of particle impacts using acoustic emission.
… order of magnitude lower in amplitude than the sand particle impact. In reality, bubble formation can be comparable with particle impacts in terms of AE amplitude in process industries such as sand production during oil and gas transportation away from a reservoir. Current practice is to …
