Overview. Effective sand control is crucial to helping you maximize production from unconsolidated formations while enhancing wellbore stability. Screen systems from Baker Hughes deliver the full spectrum of screening solutions to support your sand control needs. Working with us, you get complete screen technology from concept to production ...
Multi-layer 316L stainless steel filter media has been adopted, with high reliability and anti-damaging ability in sand control. High permeability, larger area of flow and production rate is high. Small outer diameter, light weight, easy to push along the long horizontal section. Anti- acid and alkaline, anti-high temperature, long life for use.
The wire-wrapped screen for water treatment and for sand control has high collapse and tensile strength coupled with a competitive cost structure make it a superior alternative to slotted casing. Profile Wire Screen for Sand Control : The profile wire screen is created by wrapping a profile wire cylindrical around longitudinal placed support rods.
Sand retention tests are commonly used to select the most appropriate screen to be used in sand control. Due to the problems associated with the empirical criteria, the industry-standard practice is to conduct laboratory sand retention tests on different screen coupons to determine their effective screen opening size. All tests …
With a unique construction, drainage layers, and an optimized number of basepipe perforations, these screens evenly distribute flow across the full area of mesh and reduce the risk of plugging at the screen face.
