AMW - Model Pioneer -Pipe-Based Wire-Wrapped Sand Control Screen
The Pioneer pipe-based, wire-wrapped, all-welded screen provides an economical, reliable and effective method of allowing production fluid to flow into the well while preventing gravel-pack sand from entering. It has been used successfully in deep, high pressure, high temperature and highly deviated wells. The screen can be modified to meet a wide variety of well applications including steam, water flood, water source, injection and waste disposal.
Worldwide, almost 50% of all oil and gas well sand screens run are the wire-wrapped, continuous slot design. Our screens feature an all-welded continuous gauge wedge or V-shaped wire that produces a self-cleaning action for greater flow and less chance of plugging. The Pioneer sand screen is manufactured by a sophisticated, electronically controlled fusion-welding process. These screens are custom-built to exact specifications and expected well conditions using a wide range of wrap wire and base pipe alloys. They provide maximum flow area, high well efficiencies and superior tensile strength for dependability and long well life. The Pioneer`s wire-wrapped design produces an inflow area almost ten times greater than slotted pipe of the same opening size. This greatly enhances well life and filtration capacity. Pioneer screens come in a full range of sizes with base pipeODsfrom1.9in.to18.0in.
- High number of ribs for greater collapse resistance, reduced "necking" at the wel d to ensure consistent slot size and a round wear-resistant outer profile
- Self-cleaning design provides consistent, clog-free performance
- Choice of wrapwire and base pipe alloys allows for custom engi neering to match specific production envi ronrrents
- Purpose built for oil, gas or water producing wells and injectors, as well aswaterflood.steamfloodand disposal wells
- Designed not to separate when pul led or "nest" when rri lied, provi des a more fiel d-fri endly screen
- More effective than slotted liners by up to ten times.
