Sand Erosion Modelling

  • Modelling erosion rates in pipelines and flowlines due to sand production is a proactive measure of determining Maximum Allowable Sand Rates (MASR).

  • The information is used to guide well owners to determine safe production envelopes.

  • Erosion modelling is important for managing integrity of flowlines, pipelines, production chokes and valves.

  • It can be used during FEED stage to design new flowlines and or pipelines.
