Gravel Pack Well Screens
The gravel pack screen has a double layer of high performance screen, having a very accurate V-shaped wire welded to support rods and a slot opening for the outer screen, which is selected to retain the formation sand, and an inner screen to retain the media pack. These screens simplify contractor work, improve development odds, and offer long-term benefits.
Technical Specifications
Product Overview
High-Performance Gravel Pack Screens
These gravel pack screens feature a dual-layer design with a precise V-shaped wire welded to support rods. The outer screen is engineered to retain formation sand, while the inner screen securely holds the filter media, which can consist of ceramic beads or calibrated sand. This design prevents sand migration, resists biofilm and encrustation, and is built to withstand demanding downhole environments.
