Sand failure tool

Background: In petroleum engineering, there are several well designs used to produce oil and gas from the ground. One well design known as "cased and perforated" uses explosives to punch holes directed into reservoir rock. As the well produces and pressures decrease time there is a risk that the perforation holes will collapse and start to produce sand. Sand production is an issue for our facilities as it can clog up or damage oil and gas processing equipment.

In this project students will create a tool to help engineers assess the risk of sand failing in our cased and perforated wells. This tool will process a variety of input data, apply industry standard sand models, and provide a number of graphs and visualisation to end user.

This project will be supervised by the sanding technical group, who have expertise and experience in applying the required sand models. It is preferred that the project is coded in R Markdown, however students are free to suggest alternative options.
