Abstract
A method of developing a predictive model for sand production from a wellbore includes receiving an indication of sand ingress at one or more production zones within a first wellbore using a sand monitoring system disposed within the first wellbore, detecting, using a pressure monitoring system, a pressure within the first wellbore while producing the one or more fluids and detecting the sand ingress, determining one or more geophysical properties of the one or more production zones of the first wellbore, and determining a model that correlates sand ingress at each of the one or more production zones with a plurality of variables. The sand ingress occurs while producing one or more fluids from the first wellbore.
