An integrated simulation model for sand production prediction and sand control

The paper decribes the development of a computer package that can be used to predict sand production and select the optimum sand control. This package consists of two major parts. The first is simulation of perforation stability and onset of sand production. This is a coupled mechanical and fluid fl...
