Thank you for attending the SPE Workshop.

History often repeats itself, and failures in sand control and sand management are no exception. Unless we accurately understand what has gone wrong and make appropriate improvements, the success of our industry depends on what we learnt from our past achievements and failures, and how we use those lessons in future developments and operations. Although failures typically offer greater opportunities for learning, instinctively, we as engineers and managers prefer to share our success stories instead. With this tendency, invaluable lessons from failures can be forgotten or dismissed, causing wasteful cycles of learning from scratch and reinventing the wheel, and progress may be hampered.

​This workshop called on your teams’ and organisations’ experiences in handling sand control and sand management related failures, the subsequent analysis, and the lessons learnt. We encouraged the industry to submit abstracts and presentations focused on sharing failures, to help steer discussions towards mitigating challenges and identifying solutions. This also allowed us as an industry to explore greater opportunity to learn from one another and achieve more significant successes in the future.
