## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering calculations for sand control in oil and gas completions. It uses Saucier's criterion to determine the optimal gravel size based on formation sand properties. Users can calculate the required `design_screen_slots` to ensure gravel retention, estimate the `calculate_gravel_volume` needed for the wellbore, and use `select_completion_fluid` to recommend the best carrier fluid for the placement method. It is designed to ensure wellbore stability and prevent formation sand invasion.

## Tools

### calculate_gravel_volume
Estimates the total volume of gravel required for the completion

### calculate_optimal_gravel_size
Determines the appropriate gravel size based on the formation sand properties

### design_screen_slots
Calculates the required slot width to ensure gravel retention

### select_completion_fluid
Recommends a carrier fluid based on the design parameters

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the optimal gravel size for a formation with a median sand diameter of 0.002 meters?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal gravel diameter is 0.012 meters using a standard Saucier multiplier.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much gravel do I need for a 100m well with an inner diameter of 0.2m and outer diameter of 0.3m using open hole placement and a 1.2 excess factor?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total volume of gravel required is 1.131 cubic meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Recommend a carrier fluid for an open hole placement with high formation sensitivity and gravel density of 2650 kg/m3.
```

**Response:** 
```
A low-viscosity water-based brine is recommended to minimize formation damage while maintaining stability.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How is the gravel size determined?**
The gravel size is determined using the `calculate_optimal_gravel_size` tool, which applies Saucier's criterion by multiplying the median sand diameter by a safety factor.

**Can I calculate the required gravel volume?**
Yes, the `calculate_gravel_volume` tool estimates the total volume required based on wellbore dimensions, placement method, and an excess factor.

**How do I ensure the gravel stays in the wellbore?**
You can use the `design_screen_slots` tool to calculate the appropriate slot width to prevent gravel from passing through the screen.
