Description
Summary:The title of this research is “Brown Field Sand Management: Acoustic Sand Monitoring”. The field is a 40 years old oilfield with a history of sand production problem. Recently the production surveillance has employed a 3rd party to do an acoustic sand monitoring to see the sand trending. The objective of this paper was to use the acoustic sand monitoring data to calculate the sand rate. From the acoustic data the sand rate for each wells was obtained. From the sand rate the Pound Per Thousand Barrel (PPTB) value for each well are calculated. Based on these values choke size are suggested for choke optimization. Based on the results only well B58s are suggested to be bean down while other wells are suggested to be bean up.
