ABSTRACT:
A method and device are shown for monitoring the level of particulate matter in a stream of hydrocarbons produced from a well bore. A downstream filter is installed within a surface conduit which communicates with the production conduit for trapping particulate matter in the stream of hydrocarbons passing within the surface conduit. The contents of the downstream filter are sampled over predetermined intervals to determine information regarding the type and amount of particulate matter trapped. The production rate of produced hydrocarbons is adjusted based upon the information gathered.
