Successful Application Of Ultrasound Technology To Detect Sand Producing Intervals In The Wellbore

Sand production in oil and gas wells not only poses a serious threat to hydrocarbon production, but can also<br>cause extensive damage to equipment, such as subsurface tubing, surface valves and pipelines. Produced sand<br>is also an environmental hazard, and needs to be disposed of in an environmentally safe way. Effective sand<br>management is therefore a major concern in the oil and gas industry.
