Abstract
This paper focuses on understanding the conceptual evolution and practice of sand management through six stages. The geomechanical mechanisms leading to sand production are presented at different scales for comprehensive conceptualization. The concept of "conservatism" is assumed when analyzing passive and active methods for sand control and in the models and approaches to the sanding risk. There is a strong relationship between oil prices and publications (papers) about sand management and sand control. At its core, sand management considers sand production not as a problem but as a phenomenon that demands an intensive study of the genesis and mechanism of sanding. However, the risk assessment must be considered instead of avoiding sand influx as sand control currently does. This paper illustrates how the focus of technical literature and practices has adjusted its questions about sand management through different stages of understanding. Therefore, this paper helps the technical community understand sand management from its historical conceptualization and its relationship with multiple external factors.
