Sand production problem is a phenomenon in a geologically young
producing reservoir -hence relatively low compaction effect and rock strengthwhere solid grains from reservoir transported within the production fluids because
the rock itself cannot withstand the pressure that is applied to produce the reservoir.
When sanding initially occurs, part of the producing reservoir behaves like a
suspended sediment phase, which can only exist above critical porosity point. In
this state, any stress or pressure applied to the material will be distributed
uniformly by the fluid phase. Rock physics model, specifically sand diagenesis
model was made to create a solid fundamental in describing effective elasticity in
this field. The model shows a good agreement with the data because it
accommodates change in trend of increasing elastic moduli with decrease in
porosity in lower porosity range, which turns out that in this range, the dominant
mechanism of compaction is chemical compaction or cementation instead of
mechanical compaction. Modeled Vp from this model is used to establish empirical
relation of porosity and rock strength with laboratory rock mechanical testing data
as a calibration points. From rock mechanical testing data applied to three arenite
core sample, it is observed that decrease in UCS is accompanied by increase in
Poisson’s ratio that can be viewed as a process similar to liquefaction in initial
stage of sanding instead of brittle failure, where a part of the rock loses its grain
and the suspended grains behave like fluids. From this observation, critical porosity
point is assumed to be the state where initial sanding occurs. If the rock strength in
the critical porosity point can be estimated, then it is possible to predict the
maximum amount of pressure that can be applied to prevent sanding. |
