AMW - Model ASW / CT -Shrouded Diffusion Bonded Sand Control Screen
The ASW/CT is a premium, damage-tolerant screen featuring enhanced tlow technology and a robust construction designed especially tor thru-tubing or close tolerance (CT) applications. It is capable ot handling the most demanding well completion designs and adverse downhole condilions. The ASW/CT is designed to minimize plugging and head loss. It teatures an erosion-resistant outer shroud and provides highly efficienl How distributions. It is available in several sizes tor thru-tubing applicalions.
In well service, its damage-tolerant design protects it under lormation compaction. Every detail is designed tor long-term sand control integrity.
This new ASW/CT design involves the use ot dilfusion-bonded sintered-laminale woven wire mesh combined with a robust outer perforated protective shroud over a perforated base tube. Diffusion-bonded laminate mesh is well recognized as a superior downhole sand control media. Alloy Screen Works has developed a process to weld the media "flush-on" direclly to the inner perforated tube of the screen assembly. This integrated process greatly enhances the screen`s strength and reduces the overall OD when coupled to the close tolerance outer shroud. These two attributes are crucial when considering the downhole restrictions encountered by thru-tubing well screens.
This Innovative new manufacturing technology has resulted in a close tolerance (CT) method ot construction that produces a slim hole screen, which surpasses the specifications ot other thru-tubing screens currently available.
- Used in close tolerance sand control applications where screen durability is critical
- Ideal lor installation in short-radius, horizontal or highly deviated wells that have tight spots or doglegs
- Often employed in re-entry, workoverandHP/HTwetls
- Stand-alone applications in well-sorted reservoir sands.
