In this presentation, we look at injectivity changes of water injectors targeting unconsolidated formations as a result of erosion or channelization. In this situation, sand particles migrate from the formation matrix toward the wellbore and consequently affect the well performance and completion components like frac-packs or gravel-packs. To simulate this phenomenon, we use a model that decomposes the sand matrix into two different phases by means of volumetric fractions. The first phase consists of the immobile granular phase while the other is the fraction of grains that are detached from the matrix and carried away by the fluid. The ratio of these two phases evolves over time by means of erosion and deposition. Considering the fact that erosion is understood in its physical form as gradual destruction or diminution of the material, a model is needed to describe rock elastic and plastic properties during the mentioned destruction of solid skeleton of the rock. Hence, continuum damage mechanics is utilized in a coupled framework to model this problem. The results show how local porosity evolves over time around the wellbore by the formation of channels that enhance the flow, however, upon well shut-in, flowback induced by vertical communication or water hammer effect can bring a considerable amount of sand into the well and fills it up. A study of the effect of frac-packs which are typical completions for wells targeting poorly consolidated formations is performed to demonstrate potential damage of repetitive shut-ins on injectivity in these wells. The presented model appears as a robust tool to predict sand production for different completion systems to achieve more sustainable injection operations.
