heal.abstract	The sand production rate in three outcrop sandstones under various saturation and flow fluids is investigated to reveal the potential contribution of three different mechanisms on sand production rate and initiation. The mechanisms that are investigated are strength water weakening, capillary cohesion in the failed zone and the pore pressure gradient front during water breakthrough. The sand production experiments are designed such that the relevant importance of each mechanism can be identified. Thus for each sandstone four sand production test types are performed and compared. Two of the test types are with one-phase flow and two are with two-phase flow including water breakthrough tests. The three tested sandstones are considered analogues of hydrocarbon reservoirs and represent all three borehole failure classes generalizing thus the applicability of the results which show that all mechanisms are important and have to be considered in the development of relevant sand production quantification models.
