  • Sand Control in Well Construction and Operation

    by Davorin Matanovic, Marin Cikes, Bojan Moslavac ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Produced sand causes a lot of problems. From that reasons sand production must be monitored and kept within acceptable limits. Sand control problems in wells result from improper completion techniques or changes in reservoir properties.The idea is to provide support to the formation to prevent movement under stresses resulting from fluid flow from reservoir to well bore. That means that sand ... Read more

  • The Twin Sister Planets Venus and Earth

    Why are they so different?

    by Robert J. Malcuit ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
