New Sand Control Design Criteria and Evaluation Testing for Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) Wellbores
DownloadSpring 2017
This thesis presents experimental results obtained using a novel Sand Retention Testing (SRT) facility. The testing results and interpretations provide an improved understanding of the parameters that affect sand control performance in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) operations. The SRT...
