pipe base screen for water filtration

In the field of well completion and water filtration, pipe base screens are
a versatile and efficient solution. These Pipe Base Screens, combining the
hydraulic efficiency of a continuous slot wedge wire screen with the
robustness of a pipe, are ideal for a variety of demanding environments.



What is a Pipe Base Screen?
A pipe base screen is essentially a combination of a wrap wire screen pipe
and a perforated or slotted base pipe. This dual-layer design is known for
its reliability in deep vertical wells and long horizontal remediation of
supply wells. The base pipes, which can be made from stainless steel or API
5CT carbon steel casing, are meticulously inspected and cleaned to ensure
there are no burrs or imperfections. The screen and pipe are welded together
to create a durable and reliable unit that can withstand high collapse
pressures and longitudinal constraints.

Design Features
Wrapped Wire Screen Jacket
The Wrapped Wire Screen is a critical component of the pipe base screen.
Keystone-shaped wires are helically wrapped around vertical ribs, with each
point of contact welded for added strength. This specific design minimizes
the risk of sand plugging the screen, promotes self-cleaning, and reduces
flow friction. The diameter and number of support rods are tailored to meet
the screen's strength and size requirements.

Base Pipe
The base pipe screen can be either perforated or slotted, depending on the
application needs. Perforated pipes feature circular holes, while slotted
pipes have elongated slots. Both types are visually inspected and cleaned to
remove any burr material, ensuring a smooth and efficient operation.



Advantages of Pipe Base Screens
1. Reliable Sand Control: Pipe-based screens provide superior sand control,
reducing the risk of sand plugging and ensuring optimal well performance.

2. Mechanical Strength: The combination of a wire-wrapped jacket and a
perforated pipe provides exceptional mechanical strength, making it an ideal
solution for high-collapse resistance applications.

3. Corrosion and Erosion Resistance: Pipe-based screens are designed to
withstand the harsh conditions of oil and gas production, offering excellent
resistance to corrosion and erosion.

4. Maximized Production: With a larger inflow area, pipe-based screens
maximize production, making them an attractive option for operators seeking
to optimize well performance.



Applications of Pipe-Based Screens
Casing Pipe and Open Hole Environments
Pipe base screens are suitable for both casing pipe and open hole
environments. Their versatility makes them ideal for a variety of well-
configured installations.

Gravel-Pack and Stand-Alone Operations
These screens can be used in standalone or in combination with gravel-packed
completions. Their robust design ensures reliable performance in both
scenarios.

Sand-Free Wells
Pipe base screens are particularly effective in vertical or horizontal wells
that are free from sand. Their design minimizes the risk of sand entering
the well, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.



Why Choose Pipe Based Screens?
Pipe-based screens offer a unique combination of hydraulic efficiency,
mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance, making them an attractive
option for oil and gas operators. With their ability to provide reliable
sand control, maximize production, and withstand harsh operating conditions,
pipe-based screens are the ultimate solution for optimal well performance.



Pipe base screens offer a reliable, efficient, and durable solution for well
completion and water filtration. Their unique design combines the hydraulic
efficiency of wire-wrapped screens with the mechanical strength of a pipe,
making them ideal for a variety of demanding applications.
