Through-tubing sand control methods are becoming increasingly popular as an economical means of remediation for wells with sand control problems. In November 1994, a field trial of this technology using a Pall Stratacoil Screen was conducted by Sabah Shell Petroleum Co. Ltd. in Sandy field, Sabah, Malaysia. It proved successful in reinstating production with wireline techniques from a zone that had been shut-in for several years, without incurring the high cost of contracting a workover rig. Since the installation, the well has been producing for 18 months with an acceptable level of sand production, i.e., less than 10 ppb. This paper reviews the design, performance and cost benefits of this system.
