ESP SLOTTED SCREEN

The ESP slotted screen uses a screen wrapped around a pre-perforated basepipe to provide exceptional proppant and sand control in unconventional, horizontal, and deviated wells. The basepipe offers exceptional collapse protection and the screen helps prevent plugging.

BENEFITS

Control sand in deviated and horizontal wells

—
The basepipe-with-screen design stands up to the wear and tear of running to depth in deviated wells

Increase ESP runlife in unconventional wells

—
Screen design filters proppant and sand while maximizing flow to reduce motor temperature and extend ESP runlife

Avoid screen collapse

—
The basepipe provides structural strength to prevent collapse

applications

Horizontal, highly deviated, hydraulically fractured wells
ESP protection from sand, proppant, and free scale 300 μm and larger

capabilities

Helps protect downhole pumps during production startup and throughout the ESP’s runlife
Available in 319 (81 mm), 433 (110 mm), and 677 (172 mm) series

features

Slotted screen blocks sand and proppant to prevent pump damage and extend ESP runlife
The screen wraps around a basepipe to provide exceptional crush and collapse strength for highly deviated, horizontal wellbores
Screens can be added in multiple sections to provide more flow, reduce motor temperature, and extend ESP runlife
A safety valve opens when the filter becomes plugged so flow can continue

The slotted screen filter provides exceptional sand control for particles 300 microns and larger while maintaining the same burst and collapse ratings as tubing. So you can be confident the slotted screen assembly will reach target depth intact and ready to perform, even in highly deviated and horizontal wellbores.

Our slotted screen wraps around a basepipe and consists of a slotted external screen, a disconnecting unit, a safety valve, and a centralizer. It can be mounted on the base of the pump section on the intake, on the casing itself, or on the packer.
