Sand Control Well Screen
Wire-wrapped sand control screens engineered for vertical and horizontal hydrocarbon production wells, water injection wells, and steam injection (SAGD) applications. V-wire continuous slot construction welded onto longitudinal support rods or directly onto perforated API base pipe. Manufactured on fully automated PLC-controlled resistance welding systems to deliver consistent slot tolerance and weld penetration on every joint. Available as direct-wrapped, pipe-based (perforated base pipe), or pre-packed gravel screens to match formation grain size and completion design. Engineered collapse strength matched to well depth and formation pressure. API tubing thread connections (Buttress, NUE, EUE, Premium), flanged, or plain end terminations.
APPLICATIONS
• Vertical oil & gas production wells
• Horizontal completions
• Water injection wells
• Steam injection (SAGD)
• Sand control in unconsolidated formations
