## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing sand control systems in unconsolidated geological formations. It enables precise calculations for `analyze_formation_stability` to assess sand production risk, `calculate_gravel_pack_size` for optimal gravel selection, `determine_screen_slot_width` for mechanical filter sizing, and `evaluate_plugging_risk` to predict fines migration impacts. It bridges the gap between geological grain size distribution data and practical wellbore completion hardware.

## Tools

### analyze_formation_stability
Assesses the risk of sand production based on formation strength and grain properties

### evaluate_plugging_risk
Predicts the likelihood of the sand control system becoming blocked by fine particles

### calculate_gravel_pack_size
Determines the optimal diameter of gravel to be used in a gravel pack completion

### determine_screen_slot_width
Calculates the physical opening width required for the mechanical screen

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the sand production risk for a formation with strength 500 and a drawdown of 200?
```

**Response:** 
```
The sand production risk is rated as Low with a stability rating of Stable.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the gravel pack size using the Saucier method for this distribution: [{"size": 0.1, "percent": 100}]
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal gravel size is 0.15 units with a retention ratio of 1.5.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What slot width do I need for a 0.25 gravel size filtering the gravel?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required slot width is 0.20 units.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I assess if my formation is stable?**
You can use the `analyze_formation_stability` tool by providing the grain size distribution, formation strength, and expected production pressure.

**Can this tool help select gravel sizes?**
Yes, the `calculate_gravel_pack_size` tool determines the optimal gravel diameter based on your formation's grain size distribution and chosen design method.

**How is plugging risk evaluated?**
The `evaluate_plugging_risk` tool predicts the likelihood of blockage by analyzing grain size distribution, flow rate, and slot width.
