Screens are installed to perform re-medial sand control inside a failed screen or tubing where sand control was not installed. Thru-tubing screens can be gravel packed or run as stand-alone screens, depending on the sand conditions. Sizes ranges from 1” base pipe OD to 1.9”, with a product OD of 1.5” to 2.4”
Feb 18, 1998 Guidelines for sand control completion technique and gravel size selection are presented. These new criteria are based primarily on reservoir sand size distribution. Emphasis is on formations with very high fines content and a wide distribution of grain sizes
Gravel packing is a sand control technique which prevents the production of damaging formation sands and fines. Gravel packing is performed by placing a selected size gravel around the outside of a stainless steel wire wrapped screen
From the inception of the company, CP Screens has been designing and manufacturing Downhole Sand Control Screens for the Oil and Gas industry. CP Screens has a broad product offering for Direct Sand Retention and Gravel Pack Screens for Cased Hole, Open Hole and Remedial Sand Control Applications including Wire Wrap Screens and Prepack Screens
Gravel Packing. Gravel packing is a sand-control method used to prevent the production of formation sand. Gravel packing is used in conjunction with hydraulic fracturing, but at much lower pressures. Formation sand is produced from the breakdown of formations where wells are located. This occurs particularly in formations made of sandstone
Gravel packing is one of popular sand-control technique used in oil, water and gas wells. It stabilizes the borehole and filters the sand from the flow, only allowing very fine particles in. Pre packed wire wrapped sand screen brings it into full play in maximizing production as well as controlling the sand
Jun 01, 2001 Almost every sand control solution involves the installation of a pipe-based filter that is either gravel packed or left as a stand alone screen. Gravel packing has evolved over more than 70 years, but still involves complex fluid and gravel pumping operations
Gravel packing Selecting a particular sand control technique depends on the type of well completion and the formation’s geo-mechanical properties. Gravel packing is the often preferred and very reliable sand control technique [3]. Gravel packing involves packing the annulus between a steel screen placed in the wellbore in the open or cased
Feb 08, 2022 Gravel size ranges from 1 to 2.2 mm, screen size ranges from 500 to 540 micron, and SAS with screen slot size D 50 and gravel pack 12/20 Mesh with screen size ranging from 500 to 540 micron was found to be the most effective sand control method after comparing the calculated well parameter values with the standard tables used in the industry
Sizing rules used to select sand control screen in gravel pack and non gravel pack applications were developed for vertical wells producing oil or water. Developed by Coberly,15 Schwartz,16 and Saucier,17 these rules are useful in that they provide easy-to-use rules of thumb. However, they may not be entirely applicable to horizontal well

Sand control is a constant problem in soft or weak geological formations. Thousands of feet downhole, formation sand can choke oil or gas production – and if it isn’t filtered out, this sand can damage equipment downstream. 3M™ Ceramic Sand Screen Systems are engineered to simplify complex sand control methods
Pre Pack Screens offer robust and economical solution as an alternate to gravel packing in certain applications. Available in various configurations of Wire Wrapped inner and outer screen jackets, along with various sand packing options viz. Ceramic Proppant, Resin Coated Gravel and Natural Sieved Gravel
Dec 12, 2021 Shunted screen gravel packing is a kind of technology which is difficult to complete gravel packing with the conventional method in low fracture pressure formation and long wellbore length condition. According to the characteristics of LS 17-2 deepwater gas field, the shunted screen packing tool was designed and the gravel packing process and packing
Sand control refers to managing/minimizing sand and fine production during petroleum production. An illustration of sand control by screen with gravel pack[1]. Sand accumulation in a separator, which decreases fluid resident time and causes poor separator performance
Jan 01, 1989 Gravel packing for sand control is the second application of both natural sand and synthetic proppants in oil and gas well stimulation and completion and is carried out in oil-, gas-, and water-production wells; water-, steam-, and chemical-injection wells; underground gas-storage wells and occasionally also mineral-leaching and geothermal heat-exploitation wells
Jun 29, 2015 Gravel packing Maintenance and workover Maintenance and workover is a passive approach to sand control. This method basically involves tolerating the sand production and dealing with its effects, if and when necessary. Such an approach requires bailing, washing, and cleaning of surface facilities routinely to maintain well productivity
Casing gravel pack completion. Both open hole and casing gravel pack completions have the same mechanism of sand control. Under open hole gravel pack completion, the gravel bed at the bottom of the borehole acts as a sand filter—it only allows fluid to
May 03, 2016 A gravel pack is simply a downhole filter designed to prevent the production of unwanted formation sand. The formation sand is held in place by properly sized gravel pack sand that, in turn, is held in place with a properly-sized screen
