Woven wire mesh often provides good performance than a wire wrapped screen in unconsolidated formations. This is especially true when it comes to filtering a high percentage of fines and in formations with more poorly sorted sands. The unique structure of the screen optimizes inflow area and filtration efficiency to provide superior sand control completion performance.
The metal screen tube consists of a perforated basepipe and a non-bonded mesh filter cartridge. The perforated outer shroud protects the mesh filter during deployment, while the dimples in the shroud lend stability to the mesh and ensure the filter layer remains overlapped, maintaining sand control integrity and reducing potential failure due to erosion
