Sand ingress and production in large amounts pose severe and unique challenges to operators during all phases of completion and production operations.
Lessons learned from years of producing sand in conventional sandstone reservoirs can be applied to shale wells, and innovations in shale may offer new ideas for dealing with sand in mature conventional fields.

"Attending this workshop creates an opportunity for operating and service companies to share their experiences in the arena of designing wells with sand in mind, remediating the problem once it occurs in a well/asset/facility life, predicting and monitoring for sand as well as managing sand and its erosion risk on surface. Learn from each other's cases and experiences and through discussion and collaboration potentially identify new ways of applying existing technologies or coming up with new technologies and/or applications"
