Methods and related systems are described relating to monitoring particulates downhole at in-situ conditions. Solid particles being carried in the fluid as the fluid is produced from the reservoir formation are monitored. The downhole solid particle monitoring can include measuring the quantity (e.g., volume fraction, weight fraction, or the like) of solid particles, measuring the distribution of sizes of the solid particles, and/or measuring the shape of the particles. The solid particles can be monitored using one or more of sensors such as optical spectrometers, acoustic sensors, video cameras, and erosion probes. A sanding prediction is generated based at least in part on the monitoring of the solid particles, and the sanding prediction is then used to design a completion, lift system, and surface facilities for the wellbore and/or select operating conditions so as to control sanding during production.

A workshop facility designing and operating method of the invention is for authoring a virtual workshop that is a data model of a workshop newly organized in part or in its entirety. After the organization, simulating means causes the virtual workshop to perform a quasi-production activity to verify a production state and a physical distribution state. An actual workshop is then constructed that matches with the verified virtual workshop. The constructed actual workshop is remote monitored and a result of this monitoring is compared with a result of verification during a virtual workshop verification process. In this way, verification of the workshop in its entirety can be performed simply so that workshop deployment such as a new set-up of a production line and change in process step of the existing line can be carried out efficiently and quickly in a short time. Remote monitoring of the constructed workshop can also be performed properly.

A protective shelter is disclosed. The shelter may be sized to protect an existing, unhardened structure, and its contents. Or, the shelter may be sized to protect an individual or other objects of similar size. In either case, the shelter provides protection from blasts from explosive shells, rockets, and the like. The shelter has a support frame that supports a blast cover that is positioned above the object or objects to be protected. A burster screen is positioned above the blast cover and may be supported by the support frame. The burster screen serves to detonate incoming ordinance before the ordinance reaches the protected object or objects. The blast cover is strong enough to withstand the resulting shock from the detonated ordinance, and thus prevents damage to the protected object or objects located below the protective shelter. This invention may be used to retrofit existing, unhardened structures in areas where additional protection is needed. It also may be used as part of the design of new facilities, and offers the option to later remove the hardened, protective part of the structure if the threat level changes for the better. In the smaller, personnel-protection embodiment, the invention may be air dropped to remote locations and assembled by personnel in the field.
