Applications
Shale Gas
Gradually falling water until formation water is gone, with sand in early and late life.
Shale Gas well siteUpload via Admin → Media
Typical depth range: 3,500–4,000 m
Water behaviour
Falls gradually until formation water is gone.
Sand behaviour
Sand early and late, reducing over time. Sand metering considered in later life. Desander needed for safe production.
Measurement implications.
Sand arrives in early life and returns in late life, so solids must be measured continuously rather than assumed constant across the campaign.
All well conditions carry the potential for sand production and need continuous attention. Measuring solids as a phase rather than inferring them is what makes that possible.
