Why enroll

The participants will gain knowledge of the Sand Management Systems, their main components and categorization. They will get a good understanding of the complexities associated with producing oil and gas while controlling or eliminating the undesirable production of reservoir sand and the substantial benefits provided by sand control tools and screens.

Course details

90% of hydrocarbon wells are in sandstone reservoirs. Around 30% of these sandstones may be weak enough to produce sand. Unexpectedly produced sand can lead to erosion, loss of integrity and potential loss to enviornment and life. This course will introduce the audience to the importance of sand control systems and the different components used for managing sand production, along with maximizing production of oil and gas, from the reservoir.

Questions and Answers

Q: You're commissioning a gravel pack with a screen rated to API 11D1, and operations asks: "API 11D1 sand control screen collapse rating vs MAWP confusion". The well will see transient shut-in pressures higher than flowing. What requirement from the standard actually governs the screen rating you should trust?

A: A: MAWP logic doesn't transfer; the screen isn't a pressure vessel. B: The test basis assumes controlled temperature, and steel strength drops with heat. C: Screens don't follow ASME pressure containment philosophy. D: Axial load matters during run-in, not when differential pressure builds across the screen.

Q: Night shift alarm shows high differential pressure across a desander. You're googling "desander differential pressure alarm but no sand detected". The sand detector has failed low. What physical consequence is NOT mitigated by the desander itself?

A: A: The whole point of the device is erosion control. B: That's handled by PSV sizing and blockage scenarios. C: Solids carryover hurts separation, agreed. D: Anything happening downhole isn't protected by a surface desander.

Q: You're selecting sand control for a deviated well and searching "standalone screen vs gravel pack high rate gas well". The well has high gas rate, low viscosity, and short drawdown tolerance. What configuration fits those constraints?

A: A: High gas velocity strips fines straight through. B: Conventional gravel packs struggle with gas placement. C: Expandables help ID but don't address fines stability. D: Resin adds cohesion where drawdown margin is tight.

Q: You're staring at a P&ID during commissioning and type "P&ID sand detector symbol vs erosion probe difference". The drawing shows a sand detector upstream of the choke, but the tag list calls it an erosion probe. What should you assume tonight?

A: A: Tag lists usually come from I/O mapping and procurement. B: Discrete alarms would need different wiring. C: Control philosophy changes with sensor type. D: Symbols are often generic and lag vendor selection.
