On the 9th of July, we at GOTS held a one day workshop (Webinar/ Training) for ONGC on the subject “Holistic Sand Management with more than 30+ participants.
The workshop was conducted in three sessions. The first session dealt with “Rock mechanics for Sand Control”; the second was on “ Sand Control Methods” and the third on “Surface Sand Management”.
To make the sessions interesting a quiz was held after each session and relevant case studies were discussed.
Live demonstration of GOTS’ trademark and unique software “SandMaster”, generated a lot of interest among the participants.
Our Principal Consultant Shri V C Babu Sivakumar was invited by the IIT (ISM) student Chapter to speak in a Webinar “Indian Oil & Gas Industry – A Roadmap to a Brighter Future” on 23rd Feb 2021. Shri Sivakumar spoke on the subject “Advances in Holistic Sand Management”. He presented an overview on the three pronged approach to sand management at the reservoir level, the well level and finally the facilities level. The highlight of the presentation was the advances made by GOTS in developing a software for sand management “SandMaster”. GOTS attempts to custom build software for various applications in the industry, in an attempt to reduce dependence on imported software, was also highlighted in the talk. The webinar was addressed by leaders in the industry, who all called for reduced dependence on oil and gas imports.

We take pride in announcing our first commercial version of SandMaster on a successful completion. GOTS would like to thank all operators and experts who contributed in suggesting and enhancing features to deliver a robust sand management system. Version 1 is GOTS first commercial version release of SandMaster
Some added few features in Version 1
- Well modelling covering entire facility from subsurface to surface
- Improved logics and algorithms to construct a facility of 100 components x10 times faster than Beta version
- Improved algorithm in unit conversions
In an effort to enhance the Engineering consultancy frame-work, GOTS realized that a consultancy without IT support would not provide an edge over other competitors especially in this era of IT, data science and advance algorithms.
