Flow control in heavy oil wells

In our featured Expert Viewpoint article, we cover a number of relevant topics on managing flow and sand control in heavy oil operations. We are running a series of three different articles on sand and flow control so look for those in our Features section. The first article covers sand screens and can found at: http://www.heavyoilinfo.com/feature_items/expert-viewpoint-sand-screens/

The current feature article on flow control by Schlumberger's Michel Bouchard can be found on the site at: http://www.heavyoilinfo.com/feature_items/expert-viewpoint-2013-flow-control/.

SPE 78946 is also a good case study and reference on thermal horizontal completions with sand control using slotted liners and gravel packs.
