RemedySlot
Erosion-resistant thru-tubing sand screen
Erosion tested to 250 ft/s [76 m/s]
Collapse pressure rating: 5,000 psi [34.5 MPa]
Optional dual filter to minimize risk
Extend the lives of wells suffering from sand production
RemedySlot™ erosion-resistant thru-tubing sand screens are customizable to your well’s requirements.
The standard configuration incorporates erosion-resistant disc filters that are flush mounted and threaded into the basepipe. This configuration offers high erosion resistance with an optimized OD/ID ratio to reduce limitations to well access without compromising drawdown.
Optionally, RemedySlot screens can be supplied with a conventional direct wire wrap (DWW) to enhance filtering capability. The DWW acts as an initial filtering layer, while the erosion-resistant disc filters prevent hot spots forming on the DWW. The disc filters stop formation sand if the conventional DWW filter is breached, making these screens dual-filter sand screens. In the event of a DWW breach, a natural sandpack forms between the DWW and the disc filter, greatly reducing the potential for sand production.
- Remedial sand control for thru-tubing applications
- Small-ID (slimhole, thru-tubing) completions where gravel packing is not feasible
- Cased and perforated completions with high perforation velocities
RemedySlot sand screens promote bridging and sand retention similar to direct-wire-wrapped screens. They feature disc filters made of an alloy that improves erosion resistance compared with metal filters, extending the sand-free production life of wells. These filters allow increased drawdown, which boosts production. Additionally, they can eliminate the need for carbon-intensive workovers to remediate sand control completions.
- Disc filters made of an erosion-resistant alloy
- Customizable number of discs to meet well productivity requirements
- 5,000-psi [34.5-MPa] collapse pressure
- Erosion tested for flows up to 250 ft/s [76 m/s]
