Abstract

This is a case study of a novel sand consolidation completion technique. We have competed 11 vertical wells and 2 horizontal wells over five years with minor or no sand problems to date or noticeable in 80% quality steam causes silica dissolution which bonds the sand grains and controls sand movement into the wellbore. Although tested in the field, we do not know the long term effects of this process, the formation around the wellbore which is being treated, and the hot water and steam volumes needed to optimize the process. The results of the laboratory study will be the subject of a future paper.
