Sand Control Screen Mesh

An important application area of stainless steel woven mesh, is petrochemical industry, this kind of stainless steel woven mesh is high quality standard item and the important part of the sand control screens.

sand control screens are important for the production of oil, gas and water, which are usually located deep underground. Large drilling rigs are used to drill holes below the surface to collect oil or gas. The sand screen is then inserted into the hole to allow natural oil and gas to enter while preventing the sand from flowing out, except for very fine particles. The sand screen is like a separator of gas, oil and sand. Once large sand enters the hole, it can reduce production and even make the drilling equipment inoperable.

The selection of sand screen mesh is usually based on the size of the hole and the sand particles. If the hole is too large, it will cause a large amount of sand to enter the screen mesh and clogging will occur in the near future. However, if the holes are too fine, production will be affected. Sand screens are selected to balance production and sand collection.
