forward filter has been designing and manufacturing Downhole Sand Control Screens for the Oil and Gas industry. we have 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.

Wire Wrap Well Screen

Wire Wrap Well Screens have been used for over 60 years for sand control in Oil wells and are still commonly used today. Wire Wrap Well Screen can be used in both Gravel Pack and Stand Alone Screen (direct retention) applications.

With gravel pack applications, the Wire Wrap Screen is commonly used in cased hole gravel packs to retain the pumped gravel. For high rate water packs (HWRP) and Frac Pack applications a more robust version of Wire Wrap Well Screen incorporating a heavy duty wire is available.

For Stand Alone Screen (Direct Retention) applications, the screen is designed to retain the formation sand and maintain an open well bore. With good Particle Size Distribution (PSD) data and the addition of laboratory testing for optimising slot selection, Wire Wrap Well Screen can be used for uniform sand formations (D40/D50 ≤ 2.5) with a D50 greater than 125µm. (Dependent on additional well information).

Wire Wrap Well Screen Features

Oilfield Prepack Well Screen

Prepack Well Screens have been used for over 30 years for sand control in Oil wells. Originally used in horizontal wells where gravel packing technology could not place gravel in the horizontal orientation, the prepack screen was the only means to place the sand controlling gravel pack in the well formation. CP-Pack uses two concentric wire wrap screens with the gravel pack contained within the annulus.

Today, Oilfield Prepack Well Screen can be used in both Gravel Pack and Stand Alone Screen (direct retention) applications. Used in Gravel Pack completion, Oilfield Prepack Well Screen provides additional insurance against an incomplete gravel pack and also a very high erosion resistant screen.

Oilfield Prepack Well Screen uses a Ceramic proppant (although resin coated sand is available upon request) which has three standard size ratings -: 12/18, 16/20 and 20/40. Ceramic proppant has higher permeability due to its rounder, more spherical shape compared to that of resin coated sands. This provides Oilfield Prepack Well Screen with a lower reduction in well impairment (Skin) compared to conventional Prepack Screens.

Oilfield Prepack Well Screen Features

_ Every Wire and Rod intersection is welded with consistent weld integrity
_ Ceramic Proppant with higher permeability
_ Rigorous Quality Control Inspection, 100% insurance against pack voids.
_ NACE Compliant for corrosion resistance
_ Recessed Weld Rings for run-in damage protection
_ Small product OD
_ Options for end and mid joint centeralisers (Spiroliser type or blade)
_ Options for Base Pipe Perforation open area.
_ Different Metallurgy of Base Pipe available.
