Sand Screen

PRODUCT SELECTION
& SPECIFICATION GUIDE
SAND SCREEN
Sand Screen is an integral part of most downhole sand control
systems. Acting as a filter, it allows reservoir fluid ingress to the
completion string while keeping the sand out.

● Precise particle size control.

● High strength and durability.
● Excellent corrosion resistance.
● Superior erosion resistance.
● High pressure tolerance.
● Special discount for large orders and various promotion campaigns.

Why we need a sand screen? Application

Oil and gas reservoirs exist in all types of sands. Besides, wells Sand screen is a commonly used method to control, mitigate and
drilled through unconsolidated rock formations that may collapse into prevent sand production in wellbores and extend the service life of
the wellbore. Sand production in wellbores can lead to production wellbores. It is highly recommended in the following situations:
impairment due to sand plugging, erosion to completion string and
downhole tools and damage surface facilities, etc. Sand screens ● Openhole and cased-hole completions
inserted into the wellbore can enhance wellbore stability, block sand ● Vertical, deviated and horizontal completions for oil and gas wells

WIRE WRAPPED SCREEN

High mechanical strength, superior corrosion and plugging resistance

Wire wrapped screen is one of the most commonly used sand
screens around the world. It consists of a base pipe and a filter jacket
or only a filter jacket. It adopts world advanced all-weld technology
to ensure that wrap wire welded to ribs at every contact point, which
provides a robust solid filter for use in both cased and openhole
environments. It creates a continuous slot opening and allows water
or oil entering well freely in ample quantifies while keeping most of the
sand and gravel out of the well.

The end part of the wire wrapped screen

BOEGGER offers a variety of wire profiles, materials, base pipe
perforation and slotting patterns to ensure the sand control
performance exactly meets your expectations.

Structure
Base pipe: The base pipe is a perforated pipe that conforms to API
standards, which is designed to optimize flow while retaining strength.

Filter jacket: It has longitudinal ribs that support the wrap wire and
The slot of the wire wrapped screen serve as a drainage layer, ensuring an open flow path to the base
pipe perforations. The keystone-shaped wire decreases the risk of
screen plugging associated with particles lodged between wires. The
wire wrap is manufactured separately from the base pipe, and the
wire wrapped jacket is then placed over the base pipe and welded to
the base pipe at both ends.
