Applying geostatistical approach to predict Geomechanic parameters and applying SandPitD model to predict sand production for a production well in Nam Con Son basin
Abstract
The paper applies the geostatistical approach to predict geomechanical parameters for a production well in the Nam Con Son basin. The results of the geomechanical model will be used to evaluate the sand production ability of the well according to the shear stress calculation model of S. M. Wilson based on the Mohr-Coulomb standard. The critical well bottom pressure for each reservoir pressure at different times is also calculated to provide a reasonable production regime in the reservoir management process.
