Solids production can present major obstacles to hydrocarbon production. Halliburton has the solutions for your sand control challenges
Talk to an ExpertExcessive solids production can present major obstacles to hydrocarbon production through reduced production rates, sand bridging, erosion of equipment, and sand disposal and removal.
Halliburton sand control services provide a single source of solutions for all sand control challenges. Our services begin with an in-depth analysis of the reservoir and well conditions to help design and select the optimum fluid systems and downhole equipment for every well.
In addition to the primary sand control completions such as gravel packing, high-rate water packs, frac pack treatments, horizontal screen-only completions, and horizontal gravel pack, Halliburton provides remedial chemical treatments to control excessive solids production when the primary sand control completion does not serve its purpose or has failed.

Minimizing proppant/gravel flowback after fracturing or sand control installations can increase productivity and reduce operating costs. Hydrocarbon production often becomes restricted when producing intervals are covered or partly covered with produced proppant or solids. Wells are often shut-in or abandoned when they become uneconomical to produce at lowered production rates.
Proppant flowback during hydrocarbon production can also damage downhole pumps and surface production equipment. Removing proppant from the wellbore and repairing equipment is expensive and cuts productivity.
Wellbore cleaning does not prevent the recurrence of proppant flowback, and the cleanup process may have to be repeated several times to keep production at desired rates.
Halliburton remedial chemical treatments control excessive proppant or gravel flow back from previously hydraulically fractured wells or wells where the primary sand control completion has failed.

Halliburton remedial chemical treatments control excess fines production (< 44 mm) from highly unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs, helping maintain a high production rate for a longer period and prevent further damage from fines invasion. These technologies apply to both hard rock and unconsolidated formations for primary or remedial applications.
