Maximise production
But monitor solids to:-
-limit/prevent erosion
- keep within limitations of
downstream

Gradually fill with 150+
micron sand.
Slugging/upsets can lead to
sand surge downstream.
Loss of separation

- Filling
- Stabilisation of emulsions
De-pressurisation changes
acidity – can lead to fouling
(naphthenates)

Check for chemical impacts
Surface active additives
Avoid over-dosing
Early Solids Removal
Provide residence time for solids drop-
out from water layer
- weirs and levels
- keep solids out of oil
Minimise Shear of oil/water/solids mix
Convert 2-phase to 4-phase separation
Remove/replace clogging and blocking
internals
Remove cartridge filters
Plus measures to improve OIW…

CYCLONE SIZE SELECTED ON SAND CONCENTRATION, PARTICLE SIZE AND REQUIRED EFFICIENCY
• Cyclonic action separates the sand from the produced water
• Ceramic liners remove sand down to 15 micron
• Sand is removed from the vessel while still on-line
• Solids transferred to a ToreScrub, Sand bagging frame, mud skip or similar

• Sand Production Prediction is unreliable– Comes with the water
– Completion failures
• 30 micron sand easy to remove, 10 micron sand expensive/difficult to remove
• Produced water solids are fouling– Clog filter cartridges
– Can’t use backwash filters
• Tie-ins, stimulation leading to solids
• Unnecessary Expense?– May not be needed for many years
– Need to be used regularly even when no sand
• Sand dewatering/cementing
• Water consumption
