Why integrated sand management

Sand is not one problem.
It is a connected asset risk.

Sand production can restrict throughput, erode equipment, impair well integrity and create unplanned intervention costs. Isolated measurements rarely explain the full problem.

Invigour connects reservoir behaviour, live field evidence, captured samples, laboratory data and completion knowledge so teams can act earlier and produce with greater confidence.

01

Well integrity

Recognise formation instability before consequences escalate.

02

Equipment erosion

Identify exposure that threatens chokes, valves and pipework.

03

Production loss

Separate true sanding constraints from avoidable limits.

04

Unplanned cost

Move from reactive clean-outs to evidence-led management.

Our capabilities

One team. Four connected
service pillars.

Select a focused work scope or combine the pillars into a field-wide sand-management programme.

  • Erosion and deposition assessment
  • Sand-control completion and remedial design
  • Integrated strategy and technical assurance
02

Field surveillance

Measure actual sand behaviour under live operating conditions.

  • Portable acoustic sand-monitoring campaigns
  • Multi-well sand-rate trending
  • Online sand sampling and solids quantification
  • Thermal imaging for sand-deposition screening
  • Production-test correlation and diagnostics
03

Featured capability

Acoustic sand
monitoring

Actionable surveillance and diagnostics for upstream asset integrity and production optimisation.

A sensor mounted externally on the pipe detects acoustic signatures created by particle impact. The signal is converted into sand-rate data and correlated with choke setting, pressure, temperature and production rates to explain how each well responds.

01

Non-intrusive

No pipe penetration or production interruption for sensor installation.

02

Real-time insight

See sand-rate response as operating conditions change.

03

Multi-well coverage

Portable equipment supports efficient campaigns across flowing wells.

04

Actionable output

Establish trends, rank risk and define a defensible sand-free rate.

How it works

From pipe-wall signal
to production decision.

01

Detect

The externally mounted sensor captures particle-impact signatures.

02

Quantify

Field data is processed into a sand-rate trend and cumulative production.

03

Contextualise

Results are matched with well conditions and production-test data.

04

Optimise

The team defines safe operating guidance and follow-up actions.

Physical evidence

Online sand sampling
& laboratory services

Capture representative solids safely, then turn the sample into evidence your production and well teams can use.

Closed-loop samplingControlled collection with minimal disruption to live operations.

Field-to-lab continuityTraceable samples linked to the operating conditions at collection.

Integrated diagnosisCompare physical samples with acoustic, production and well data.

Laboratory workflow

Samples become
decisions.

The analysis scope is selected around the operating question—from confirming sand presence to comparing wells, diagnosing changes and supporting control design.

01

Representative sampling

Collect solids online under controlled conditions, with field context and traceable sample identification.

02

Quantification

Determine recovered solids, normalise sand production and compare results by well and operating condition.

03

Particle analysis

Characterise particle-size distribution and document particle appearance to the agreed scope.

04

Integrated interpretation

Combine sample results with acoustic trends, well data and operating changes for practical recommendations.
