  • Computer-implemented systems and methods for controlling sand production in a geomechanical reservoir system
    Patent number: 9026419
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in predicting sand production in a geomechanical reservoir system. Computation of the sand production predictions can include solving a system of partial differential equations that model the geomechanical reservoir system. Systems and methods also are provided for use in operating a geomechanical reservoir system based on the sand production prediction for controlling sand production in the geomechanical reservoir system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 5, 2015
    Assignee: Chevron U.S.A. Inc.
    Inventors: Ricky Howard Dean, Joseph Henry Schmidt
