Production engineers in oil and gas utilize sand production and sand control equipment in many completion methods, with a growing interest to expand these methods in wells for CO2 sequestration and geothermal, but knowledge on these methods is fragmented and lacks a bridge to support the energy transition. Geomechanics of Sand Production and Sand Control delivers a convenient resource for both academia and professionals to gain understanding and results in sand production. Packed with rock mechanic fundamentals and field case studies, this reference offers guidance in theoretical knowledge, field and laboratory data, and operational methodology. Gaining better understanding on sand control production improves environmental impact preventing corrosion of pipes, damage to the surface production facilities, and disposal of produced sands among others. This book couples geomechanical and sanding evaluation models supported by field case studies, lab tests, and modeling studies to explain the most environmentally supportive wellbore stability with step-by-step methods. Key Features • Learn from visual graphs derived from real-world fields and numerical models • Transition methods into other energy assets including CO2 sequestration and geothermal wells • Apply solutions through real field case studies
