Near-Wellbore Permeability Damage by Fines Migration in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage Wells
DownloadFall 2022
This thesis investigates the flow performance impairment or permeability damage under the fines migration process near the SAGD wellbore producers completed with sand control screens. A new sand retention testing (SRT) procedure was developed to replicate a more representative fines migration...

Near-Wellbore Salinity Effect on Sand Control Plugging by Fines Migration in Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage Producer Wells
DownloadFall 2023
Sand control screens are necessary for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) wells drilled into oil sands to prevent sand production. However, the accumulation of mobilized fine particles near the wellbore can result in screen plugging, adversely affecting the well's flow performance. This...
