- W2895962417 abstract "Abstract Conventionally, after a well has been fracked using proppant, wells are flowed back to clean using SMS (Sand Management Systems) equipment. Only after proppant levels go to a minimum, the flow is diverted to the testing Equipment and the well gets tested. This paper proposes an alternative approach where operating companies are given the opportunity to continuously monitor the well behavior and its production potential through well testing that takes place simultaneously during the cleanup and proppant disposal. It also proposes a solution to reduce or even eliminate flaring during the clean-up process. Flowing wells with high solid content has always created the risk of wash outs due to the high erosion it creates. The risk of erosion is way higher during post frack clean up where proppant travels with gas at extreme velocities. Well Testing companies use SMS equipment to control and knock out solid contents in the flow. Usually, the flow is directed to the flare until the well is clean & proppant free to avoid any erosion to the well testing equipment and the production line. The proposed approach includes utilizing five different types of SMS equipment, rigged up in series to secure a proppant free fluid flowing downstream. The system consists of a Sand Catcher, Sand Filter, Sand Snoop, Choke, & a 4 phase separator rigged up respectively in series. The design was tested in more than one location on high pressure gas wells in Bahrain. It was observed that Sand Catchers remove the bulk of the proppant facilitating quick and time efficient clean up. The filter however picks up the remaining solids that have managed to pass the Sand Catcher. The sand snoop gives the operators a close monitoring facility to guarantee no solids are passing this stage. The Choke controls the velocity on the upstream and reduced pressure on the downstream. The 4 phase separator however, acted as a backup plan and as a mitigation in case any solids reach this stage. Testing the well utilizing the separator was possible during the cleanup and flow easily directed to production lines without any risk of erosion to the testing equipment and to production line. None of the technology proposed in the paper is new. However, the paper adds value to the existing body of literature by enhancing the utilization of existing technology with an almost flawless design which results in a more cost effective & environmentally friendly solution for post frac clean ups and testing." @default.
