1.1 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
This project is aimed at
To study the various types of gravel packing methods used in the petroleum industry.
To
analyze sieve analysis data of formation sands gotten from OBEN13L in
other to determine the appropriate gravel pack size used.
To make conclusions on the state of OBEN WELL 13L on the basis of sieve data analysis and give possible recommendations.
1.2 SCOPE AND LIMITATION
The
scope of this project is limited to the mechanical method of sand
control with more emphasis on the sieve analysis of formation sands
gotten from OBEN13L.
1.3 METHODOLOGY
The method to be adopted for
this project is the use of sieve analysis and sucier correlation to
determine the gravel pack size to be used for OBEN WELL 13 with
formation sands gotten from the case study as mentioned above and
useful information gotten from the internet, textbooks, petroleum
journals. This method simply involves collecting core samples and
running them through different sieves with different opening sizes,
usually sieves with larger openings at the top and sieves of smaller
opening at the bottom and plotting each weight retained on each sieve
against the sieve opening size to determine the average formation sand
size which is used to find accurate gravel size using sucier
correlation.
