Sand control technologies
Sand control technologies are methods used in oil and gas drilling to manage or prevent sand from entering wells during extraction. When drilling through certain rock formations, sand can flow into the well, which can damage equipment and reduce production efficiency. Techniques include using screens to filter out sand, injecting special materials to bind sand together, and creating barriers to hold sand in place. These technologies help ensure smooth operations, protect infrastructure, and increase the amount of natural resources extracted safely and effectively.
