The global sand control systems market size was USD 3.5 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 4.8 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4% during, 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for fluctuating prices of crude oil.
Sand production is known for its production issues that considerably reduce wellbore productivity. In production operations, the process of sand production is critical operational inefficiencies that lead to wells collapsing. Sand control, similar to known as sand management, is a method of technique to prevent reservoir sand migration into the wellbore or wellbore area. It is necessary to maintain the structure of the migration reservoir around the wellbore.
The migration of reservoir sand and fines severely restricts production. To predict efficient sand control mechanisms, it is essential to control properly what types of solids or sand are produced. The sand control system or sand management is a common requirement for various gas & oil industries all over the world. It is to remove solids from the well’s production fluids thus it does not flow into the facility or further downstream.
There are two situations, which cause sand production such as the rock mechanical failure near the wellbore and dragging force from injection fluid or production. Sand production causes several issues such as production impairment, owing to erosion to the completion string and downhole tool, sand plugging, and damage to surface facilities. Furthermore, chemical injection usually has efficient sand production control methods.
The principal sand control techniques include gravel packing, sand screens, frac packs, inflow control devices, and others. The other sand control techniques such as maintenance and workover, plastic consolidation, resin-coated gravel, rate exclusion, stand-alone slotted liners or screens, selective completion practices, high-energy resin placement, and sand consolidation. The advantages of sand control systems such as gives high inflow area, effective sand control, gives maximum hole diameter and provides wellbore support.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global sand control systems market, due to the slowdown in production, supply chain disruptions, and project delay. The pandemic has significantly impacted the oil & gas industry and exploration production. The continuous decline in drilling and production activities during the pandemic which negatively impacts the global sand control systems market.

Technological advancements such as improved well, multi-well pad drilling, pipe design, and multiple fracture stages.
Technologies are used to help stimulate well and drive out the trapped oil, and hydraulic fracturing. Additionally, the oil & gas industries are finding improved smart works and cost reduction that are expected to positively impact the growth market.
Restraints
The fluctuating price of crude oil & gas is restraining the growth of the sand control systems market. In some emerging countries, oil prices are highly volatile, which affects drilling operations on a large scale. Oil & gas companies are not able to suffer, due to volatilities. Even when oil prices are stable, gasoline prices fluctuate due to seasonal changes in demand and gasoline specifications. Most of the operational expenses are dependent on oil & gas prices as the many profit companies differ with oil prices.
The operations in high-pressure or high-temperature (HP/HT) wells are the major factors challenging the growth of the market. The use of engine lubricants with low high-temperature high shear (HTHS) viscosity is to improve fuel efficiency. The HP/HT is given to wells that existing extreme conditions to operate and service companies.
The term HP/HT is used to apply wells that have only HP/HT. Some of the few wells are applied to both HP/HT characteristics. The drilling of HP/HT exploratory wells includes high-cost and high-risk operations with huge incident exposure wells.
Opportunities
The growth in offshore exploration in the oil industry is to create lucrative opportunities for the global sand control systems market growth. The oil & gas industry is experiencing a continuous breakthrough due to the increasing oil demand. Offshore experienced a breakthrough in several regions, especially in western Africa.

Sand Control Systems Market Segment Insights
Type Segment Analysis
Based on type, the global sand control systems market is divided into sand screens, gravel pack, inflow control devices, frac pack, and others. The gravel pack segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, owing to prevent the production of formation sand.
It is a downhole filter that is designed to prevent the production of unwanted formation sand. A gravel pack is used to expand the surface area of the producing well to production rates. Gravel pack systems are suitable for both case holes and open holes and for conventional and unconventional applications.
The frac pack segment holds a considerable share of the sand control systems market. Frac pack combines gravel packing and fracturing. The frac pack is based on factors such as reservoir quality, rock mechanics data supporting fracture containment within the zone of interest, production & recovery objectives, and the existence of near-wellbore damage from drilling and perforating.
Well Type Segment Analysis
On the basis of well type, the global market is segregated into horizontal, vertical, cased hole, and open hole. The cased hole segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projected period, due to the technical reasons relating to the stability of the hole. It is the separate part of the wellbore with well cementing and metal casing. The cased hole services provide reliability, evaluating reservoir saturation, technologies for well integrity, and determining flow profiles.
The horizontal segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years. The horizontal segment is widely used to store vast quantities of natural gas in shale reservoirs.
Location Segment Analysis
Based on location, the global sand control systems market is segmented into onshore and offshore. The onshore segment is anticipated to dominate the major market share in the coming years, owing to the presence of vast onshore and oil & gas fields. Most of the onshore formations are hardened and have older sand. Hence, onshore formations require sand control solutions to filter sand.
A gravel pack is mainly installed for onshore locations. The high demand in onshore locations has indicated rising oil production from basins such as the Permian basin. These factors are projected to propel the demand for the onshore segment in the global market during the forecast period.
The offshore segment is anticipated to account for a major market share in the coming years. Offshore combines oil & gas technologies, hydraulic fracturing, and gravel pack completions. The geologic formation that produces oil & gas is unconsolidated, which means sand makes these formations lose or poorly bonded such as sand on a beach.
Regional Analysis
In terms of region, the global sand control systems market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market size of Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the projected period, due to the increase in urbanization, industrialization, population growth, and growth of the consumer class.
In emerging countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea, the rising population raised the demand for energy and crude oil imports. The largest amount of crude oil has been imported, which provides immense opportunities to the global market. The demand for oil boosts oil & gas exploration and production activities, which drives the market for oilfield equipment and services.
The market in North America is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to the growth in the sand formations and the increasing development of tight oil. The high presence of offshore oil & gas production, private players, and growing investment by the government in the oil & gas industry explorations.
Canada is anticipated to grow its drilling activities across the country in the coming years. FDI in the oil & gas industry and the adoption of advanced technologies are increasing by contractors for high-quality crude oil are the major factors driving the global market.
