- Sand production due to result of unconsolidated grains in wellbore formations, as lead to many adverse effect, such as plugging, accumulation in surface equipment, increase in skin and tubing roughness. Sensitivity analysis using PROSPER software was run on different well parameters, (tubing roughness, skin) and under free gas effect for an open hole completion to predict effect of sand production in life of the well. The tubing and skin analysis shows a decline in well flow potential across the years, due to sand production. The future performance indicate sand control remedy must be deploy to maintain and revive the well to it optimum flow potential. Analysis on free gas effect was used to determine the highest free gas value under the reservoir condition for the well optimum production. (3.5 - 4.023) MMscf/day gave the optimal flow potential for the well. This analysis shows the amount and condition of free gas in the well before the effect of sand production
