LineSlot

Applications

• Preventing ingress of gravel and formation sand
• Stand-alone screen, gravel-packed, and frac-packed completions, including those using shunt tube technology (e.g., AllFrac screens, OptiPac™ Alternate Path gravel-pack screens)
• Installations with injection or inflow control devices (ICDs) for optimized flow distribution
• Filtration media for Electris™ high-flow-rate (HFR) interval control valve (ICV) integrated screens
• Sandface fiber-optic installations, where an optimized ID/OD ratio is required

Benefits

• Extends well life, reduces intervention requirements, and helps sustain stable production rates by preventing sand production
• Improves flow efficiency with customizable rib-wire configurations
• Enhances deployment flexibility by integrating seamlessly with multiple completion designs

Features

• Direct-wire-wrapped construction enhances mechanical strength and assembly durability, eliminating the need for welding on the basepipe
• Customizable rib-wire geometry, corrosion-resistant materials, and slot configurations allow adaptation to reservoir-specific requirements
• Tension, compression, and torque ratings match those of the basepipe
• Consistent, precise slot openings improve performance while maintaining flow efficiency
• Curved wrapping-wire surface reduces friction, increasing resistance to erosion and wear
• Basepipe perforations are optimized for flow, preserving screen strength while maximizing production

How it improves performance

LineSlot™ direct-wire-wrapped screens extend well life. By preventing sand ingress, they help maintain the structural integrity of the well and reduce the risk of mechanical failures. Customizable slot configurations and rib-wire designs optimize fluid flow, reducing pressure drops and enhancing overall production rates.

Minimizing sand production reduces the need for interventions and maintenance, lowering operational costs. Effective sand control extends the productive life of the well; the result is stable and efficient production over a longer period.

Additional information

Three construction options are available:

• Standard: 4×3-mm rib and wire
• LT version: 4×3-mm rib with 090105 wire
• XL version: 6.2×3.2-mm rib and 4×3-mm wire.

LineSlot high-flow-rate (HFR) direct-wire-wrapped screens are available for erosive environments. Their unique geometry reduces inflow velocity and consequently, erosion risk.
