The Dina 2 condensate field in Tarim Oilfield is a fractured sandstone gas reservoir with characteristics such as high temperature and high pressure, low porosity and low permeability, and medium-high cementation strength, and the traditional view is that there is no sand production problem for this type of reservoir, but since the start of production in 2009, sand samples have been taken from 21 wells and the sand production is common, which has become a key technical problem affecting the stable production of the gas field. To this end, a porous elastic-plastic 3D sand production fluid-solid coupling model was established, and a numerical simulation method was adopted to carry out a full range of sand production rate prediction for the Dina 2 Gasfield. The study shows that the sand production process in Dina 2 Gasfield can be divided into four stages according to the sand production rate: small amount of sand production, incremental sand production, intensifying sand production and stable sand production; the area of heavy sand production is around Wells X-6, X-7 and X-8, and the amount of sand production gradually decreases from the middle of the gas field to the surrounding area, and the key sand production layer is located in E1-2 km2 Formation of Kumugeliemu Group. It was verified on the basis of the field measurement data that the prediction error of the sand production rate is within 15%, indicating the practicality of the prediction method. This study can provide technical support for the formulation of reasonable sand control measures and efficient development of the oilfield.
