Why do we need sand detectors? • Early warning of sand production • Identification of individual wells producing sand • Optimising production Monitoring accumulation of sand • Preventing lines filling with sand • Checking integrity of sand screens • Reducing the risk of erosion
Sand Problems • Sand in oil or gas • Pipe wall erosion • Damage to production equipment • Reservoir degradation • Filter replacement - time and expense • Solids cleaning
System Solutions • Provides quantitative and qualitative indication of solids production • Optimisation of production rates • Enables damage assessment of pipes & valves • Determination of methods of control
There are three different types of Sand Detectors • Sand Probe • Sand Erosion Particle Detector (SEPD) • Ultra Sonic Sensor
Sand Probe (Ceion® Sand Erosion Sensor) • Intrusive • Cost Effective • Can be used on straight pipe (Angle Probe) • Accrete readings for Wall Loss of pipe • Real Time or Stand alone
Sand Erosion Particle Detector (SEPD) Overview • Patented technology • Ceion® metal loss for cumulative damage • Integrated passive acoustic element for instantaneous sand detection Embedded CEION® DSP Acoustics Measures: • Cumulative metal loss • Erosion rate • Instantaneous sand detection • Sand rate detection (0. 01 g/s estimated) • Flow regime indication Acoustic Erosion TU-SMP 8
SEPDTM Probe Other features: • Embedded DSP for real-time frequency analysis. • 1 MHz sampling speed • Frequency analysis up to 500 k. Hz • FFT completed every ms and averaged 1000 times. (i. e. result every 1 s) • Configurable band pass filtering • Configurable gain amplification • High S-N ratio Embedded CEION® DSP Acoustics TU-SMP 9
SAM 400 TC • Passive acoustic transducer technology • Measures sand production in oil, gas or multiphase wells • Compact and ultra sensitive • Detects smaller particles at lower flow velocities than competitors • Non-intrusive
Measurement principle (ultra sonic) • The detector is installed down stream of a 90° bend • Sand impacts the inner pipe wall • Detection Limits: • Velocity >1. 0 m/s, • particle size > 15 m
RSI-650 Sand Injector • The injector will inject a calibrated amount of sand into the stream at a current velocity for a set time. • Up stream of Roxar Sand Sensor. • With a Analogue or a digital barrier we can hook up to the PLC
