Sand Control Systems Market - Global Industry Analysis and Forecast 2014 – 2020

The production of oil or gas through a well poses a different kind of challenge to the oil or gas producing companies. This challenge if not tackled properly may damage the equipments that are involved in the production process. The sand which comes out during the production along with the oil or gas acts as a major obstacle to the production process. The sand can hamper the production by reducing the production rates and causing erosion of hardware that is used in the equipments. The damage caused by the sand results in the economic loss to the company. The increase in the exploration and production activities makes sand control or sand management an important issue for the companies, which if not dealt properly may cause damage. These problems pertaining to the negative impact of sand has created a need for the sand control equipments.

The sand control system market can be segmented on the basis of type of completion, types of screens used for sand control, and the techniques available for the purpose of sand control during the oil and gas operations. On the basis of type of completion the sand control process can be divided into open-hole sand control and closed-hole sand control. The different types of sand screens that are used for the purpose of sand control includes direct wire-wrapped sand screens, wire-wrapped sand screens, premium mesh sand screens and specialty screens. The techniques used for the purpose of sand control includes maintenance and workover, selective completion practices, use of resins or resin coated gravels, stand-alone slotted liners or screens and gravel packing. The maintenance and workover is a conventional approach that includes washing, bailing and cleaning of surface routinely. The rate restriction process involves reducing the rate of production for a well, which in turn reduces the amount of sand.

The selective completion practice involves...
