  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-000744",
  "term": "Cold heavy oil production with sand",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "An unconventional production method for highly viscous heavy oil reservoirs that involves intentionally producing sand along with the oil. This process creates wormholes and high-permeability channels within the reservoir, improving oil mobility and flow to the wellbore. It is typically applied in unconsolidated or weakly consolidated heavy oil sands without thermal stimulation.",
