About the Course

This workshop is designed to review and present the implications of sand production and options for exclusion. It is intended to address the issues of developing an appropriate sand production strategy for a field development. Theoretical principles are provided and then applied in a workshop format to generic field examples. The examples are best worked in a multidisciplinary environment.

Duration

2 days
