Annotation:

The article presents the results of experiments aimed at developing methodological methods for monitoring gas wells operation using geophysical methods, complicated by sand manifestation. The response of the spectral acoustic noise meter method to a mixed flow of gas and solid inclusions depending on the flow characteristics is considered. Based on the results of experimental laboratory studies, it was revealed that mechanical inclusions in the gas flow significantly change the spectral characteristics of the recorded acoustic noise. Taking into account the results of laboratory studies, the field materials recorded in wells with sand were analyzed.
