An acronym for Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand, a method used to produce highly viscous heavy oil from unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs. This technique involves allowing a controlled amount of sand to be produced along with the oil, which creates a network of high-permeability channels within the reservoir. The produced sand is typically separated from the oil at the surface.
