When it comes to oil production, sand might not be the first thing on your mind—but it should be. Excessive sand can cause significant damage to production equipment, leading to costly repairs, production delays, and decreased efficiency. It’s a challenge that many operators face, and the consequences can be substantial.

So, how can we effectively tackle this issue? Enter advanced sand management solutions like the Sahara Facility Cyclone. This innovative technology is specifically designed to mitigate sand-related problems, offering a range of compelling benefits:

• Greater Sand Capture Rate: The Sahara Facility Cyclone can capture particles of even smaller microns compared to the Sahara Sand Cyclone, ensuring that virtually no sand flows into the production facility.
• Fewer Maintenance Points: Instead of managing 20 or 30 different sand management vessels across various wells, your operation can oversee a single vessel with a streamlined set of SOPs, simplifying operations.
• Less Non-Productive Time (NPT): By removing erosive sand before it reaches the facility, the Sahara Facility Cyclone minimizes the need for shutdowns due to repairs and maintenance, effectively eliminating erosion-related issues.
• Lower Operating Costs: Being operator-owned, the Sahara Facility Cyclone allows for costs to be amortized over the life of the facility, eliminating monthly rental fees and reducing overall expenses.
• Higher Flexibility: Once sand capture rates stabilize, the Sahara can be easily relocated to another facility and customized for different well pressures, enhancing operational adaptability.
• Better Insights: With the ability to quantify sand at the facility, operators can make informed decisions based on data rather than assumptions.
• Reduced HSE Exposure: By minimizing the number of crew members on-site and eliminating unnecessary equipment, the Sahara helps protect personnel and the environment.
• Smaller Equipment Footprint: While the Sahara Facility Cyclone is robust, it has a smaller overall footprint than many sand management vessels running across multiple wells, allowing for more efficient use of space.

If you’re struggling with challenges related to sand management at your production facility, now’s the time to consider solutions like the Sahara Facility Cyclone. Don’t let sand become a hidden cost to your production efficiency!
