Based on research results of indoor large-scale sanding simulation experiments and referring to various sand control selections both at home and abroad,we proposed some theoretical parameters for the sand control selection,such as the median value of formation grain size(d50),uniformity coefficient(UC),shale content(Vsh,) and smectite content.These parameters can be used in the practice of applying moderate sand control techniques in loose sandstone reservoirs.In addition,through statistically analyzing reservoir characteristics of four sea areas in China,simulating sanding with different sand control methods in experiments and examining sand control effects of various methods in a real case,we presented some selection criteria of sand control methods applied to moderate sanding wells in offshore loose sandstone reservoirs of China,and correspondingly built a set of charts for the sand control method optimization,which referred to the median value of formation grain size(d50) in designing the sand retention precision and has been applied in the sand control design of several newly developed reservoirs in China with satisfactory results.
