Wire wrapped screen consists of a wire-wrapped jacket and a perforated pipe. Keystone shaped wire are helically wrapped around the vertical ribs and each point of contact is welded. This special shaped wire is designed for decreasing the chances of sand plugging the screen, self-cleaning action and reducing flow friction. The diameter and number of ribs depends on the strength and size the screen. The more the number is, the stronger the screen is. Wrapping should be accurately controlled to form uniform & precise gauge for reliability.

Pipe based sand screen is used in stand-alone completions with well sorted formulations or in combination with gravel packed completions. It provides superior strength & accurate slot openings. Compared with slotted liner, its larger inflow area maximizes the production.
