Problem is one of production problem in shallow well that has unconsolidated sandstone formation. One cause of sand problem is fluid rate is higher than critical rate of sand problem. The effect of sand problem are reducing the fluid rate and damaging the downhole tools such as pump. In this study, we concern to sand problem that occurs in 3 wells in field X that uses ESP pump as its artificial lift. Based on production data when sand problem occurs, we can decide maximum sand grain size that can be lifted so we can determine the maximum critical rate to sand problem using Moore method that assume sand grain as cutting. In this simulation, we do the IPR and TPR history matching from production data to get a model. First, we have to match production data to a model in prosper then we can do the sensitivity of ESP setting depth and we get fluid rate in any condition. The changing of ESP setting depth is done until we get the fluid rate is smaller than critical rate due to sand problem. In this simulation, we can get the effective ESP setting depth tominimize the possibbility of sand problem. The result is we have to lifted down the ESP below the perforation zone so we can get fluid rate is smaller than critical rate of sand problem.
