Global Sand Control Solutions Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029
Sand control is a method to control sand production in wellbore. There are two situations that can lead to sand production. The first reason is the mechanical failure of rock near the wellbore, and the second reason is the drag force of production or injection fluid. Sand production will lead to several problems, such as production damage caused by sand plugging, erosion of completion string and down hole tools, damage of surface facilities such as separators and piping, etc. Sand control solutions include sand screens, gravel pack, frac pack and inflow control devices, etc.
Market Overview:The latest research study on the global Sand Control Solutions market finds that the global Sand Control Solutions market reached a value of USD 3055.63 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3956.9 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period.
StrengthSand Control Solutions can help enhance oil recovery
Enhancing oil recovery in unconsolidated sandstone formation is one of the most critical challenges in any sand surface completion. Failure to properly solve the sand production problem will seriously affect the productivity and life of oil wells. Potential erosion risk will also affect the integrity and safety of equipment. Disposal of unwanted produced sand will cause billions of dollars in losses to the global oil and gas industry every year, and may pose a threat to the environment. In poorly consolidated formations, because formation water can dissolve minerals that bind sand grains together, water breakthrough and high pressure drop will promote sand production. The pressure drop exerts pressure on the formation around the wellbore, and the resistance of the produced fluid separates sand particles and brings unwanted particles into the well. This situation will damage the structure of the reservoir, and if the proper sand control method is not adopted, the attempt to enhance oil recovery will be severely limited.
WeaknessDisadvantages of Sand Control Solutions
There are many alternative sand control measures. Each choice has its own advantages and disadvantages. Gravel pack is the most widely used technology at present. Gravel pack costs are directly related to rig costs. However, if the gravel pack needs remedial operation, the screen and completion assembly must be removed from the well, which may involve lengthy fishing work and related problems. Sand consolidation and resin-coated sand are attractive for tubingless completions because no mechanical equipment is left in the hole; However, the following conditions have problems with plastic systems: low permeability; small-interval length; high temperature; completion longevity (wells sanded up or low productivity). The right technology must be selected for the well completion.
Region Overview:In global comparison, a significant portion of the revenue was generated in Asia Pacific (28.97% in 2022).
Company Overview:Halliburton is one of the major players operating in the Sand Control Solutions market, holding a share of 30.02% in 2023.
Halliburton
Founded in 1919, Halliburton is one of the world’s largest providers of products and services to the energy industry. With approximately 40,000 employees, representing 130 nationalities in more than 70 countries, the company helps its customers maximize value throughout the lifecycle of the reservoir – from locating hydrocarbons and managing geological data, to drilling and formation evaluation, well construction and completion, and optimizing production throughout the life of the asset.
Schlumberger
Schlumberger Limited is an oilfield services company. Schlumberger employees represent more than 140 nationalities working in more than 120 countries. Schlumberger has four principal executive offices located in Paris, Houston, London, and The Hague.
Segmentation Overview:By type, Sand Screens segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2022.
Sand Screens
This type of sand control is to put a screen to stop sand production into a wellbore. Initially, fine sand and silts will pass through the screen. Once sand packs are developed around the screen, they will be like a filtration media which prevents sand to flowing into a wellbore.
Gravel Pack
Gravel pack is one of sand control methods and it uses sized sands as a filter media to prevent sand production.
Frac pack
Frac pack is a combined gravel pack with fracturing technique which creates wide and long conductive fractures. This technique will control sand production and improve productivity of wellbore.
Inflow Control Devices
Inflow control devices help delay and reduce the flow of unwanted fluids, stimulate balanced and accelerate production.
Application Overview:The market's largest segment by application is the segment Offshore, with a market share of 75.6% in 2022.
