Abstract
A sand screen cartridge including a plurality of longitudinally extending segments together forming a tubular filtration media. An end ring engaging the filtration media.
Description
- In the drilling and completion industry, the formation of boreholes for the purpose of recovering hydrocarbons necessarily is accompanied by sand. Sand control therefore is a significant concern for operators and must be addressed in the downhole environment prior to its production with target fluids. This is because flowing sand is damaging to production equipment from the standpoint of erosion and further because it can adversely affect other equipment such as pumps, etc. Also notable is that the production of sand from the formation in which a borehole exists will tend to enlarge the borehole and increase the probability of cave ins, wash outs, etc., that would require remedial activity at not insignificant cost both in actual dollars and in lost production time.
- The art is therefore very concerned with sand control and has developed a plethora of types of sand screen and such to mitigate the problem. In view of ever changing conditions and techniques however, the art is always in need of and receptive to alternative arrangements.
- A sand screen cartridge including a plurality of longitudinally extending segments together forming a tubular filtration media; an end ring engaging the filtration media.
- A sand screen including a base pipe; a plurality of longitudinally extending segments together forming a tubular filtration media about the base pipe; an end ring engaging the filtration media and the base pipe.

- Referring to
FIG. 1 , asingle segment 10 is illustrated and may be a stave. In some embodiments the segments are constructed of hard erosion resistant material and may be a ceramic material. Other hard metal or plastic is also contemplated. In addition, the segments may be created from composites of the foregoing. For example, in some embodiments, thesegment 10 may comprise ametal core 11 and anexterior material 13, such as for example a ceramic coating (seeFIG. 1A ). If indeed a ceramic material is selected for any type of embodiment referenced above, the material may comprise for example Sintered Boron Carbide, Silicon Carbide, Alumina, etc. The segments may be constructed of any length limited only by practicality but in some embodiments will be 6 to 15 inches in length. - Still referring to
FIG. 1 ,segment 10 is an elongated member configured to extend longitudinally in a resultingfiltration media 12 created by a plurality of the segments arranged together. Thesegment 10 in cross section is a curved trapezoid (or could simply be trapezoid) configured such that the plurality of segments together creates a tubular form (which then represents the filtration media 12). - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 ,segment 10 includes aspacer 14 whose function it is to maintain contact betweenadjacent segments 10 and provide forpassageways 16 betweenadjacent segments 10 for the filtration function. Spacers will be located at each longitudinal end of each segment and may be present at more locations between each end as desired. In many cases spacer locations at the ends is sufficient but in cases where there is substantial length or in cases where it is anticipated there will be substantial side load on theresultant filtration media 12 during use, additional spacers may be desirable. Spaces may be created by adding material at each end of the segments or by removing material from sides of thesegments 10 between thespacers 14. In either case, an angle of thesides 20 of thesegments 10 between thespacers 14 are selected to createpassageways 16 having parallel sides, converging side or diverging sides as desired. This will mean that the spacers have a face angle that is along a radius from an axis of theresultant filtration media 12 but that thesides 20 will be at a different angle. If thesides 20 are to be parallel, the angular difference will be about 1 degree. More or less of an angle will provide the converging or divergingpassageways 16. The angular difference betweenspacers 14 andsides 20 can be visualized inFIG. 1 by inspecting the shoulder atarrow 22, which evidences an angle. - Further referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 ,standoffs 24 are illustrated at aninside surface 26 of eachsegment 10. These may be of any number (three shown) depending upon the length of thesegment 10 and function to provide a drainage gap between the plurality of segments and a base pipe around which they will be positioned when the sand screen is assembled (seeFIG. 7 ). In other words, thestandoffs 24 will abut an outside surface of the base pipe and ensure that theinside surface 26 of the plurality ofsegments 10 will remain spaced from the outside surface of the base pipe. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , anend ring 28 is illustrated. There are two embodiments ofend ring 28 disclosed (distinguished in the figures as 28′ and 28″), cross sections of which are presented inFIGS. 4 and 5 .FIG. 3 is representative of both embodiments simply because the distinction between the two embodiments is not visible inFIG. 3 . The end ring has for a function to hold a plurality of segments in position with spacers against spacers and to effectively create the cartridge ofFIG. 6 . - Referring to
FIG. 4 , an end ring configured to terminate a filtration media without connection to a subsequent filtration media is illustrated. Visible is abody 30 having anopening 32 dimensioned and configured to slip over anend 34 of filtration media 12 (seeFIG. 2 ), thereby contacting both inside and outside diametric surfaces of thefiltration media 12 to hold the segments in place. Aninside diameter surface 36 of the end ring itself whether 28 or 28′ is closely related to an outside diameter of a base pipe to which the cartridge is designed to be mated. The body comprises a resilient material that may be monomeric, polymeric, elastomeric, resilient, and to include rubber, nitrile, etc. In an embodiment, the body should be able to flex yet still be rigid enough to support its function. In an embodiment, theopening 32 is reinforced with areinforcer 38 that is located at a portion of the end ring that contacts either or both of the inner and outer surfaces of the filtration media and that may comprise a metal, harder plastic, such as PTFE, etc. or other relatively rigid material. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , it will be appreciated that the view is similar toFIG. 4 except that thebody 40 now has an opening 42opposite opening 32 and may be reinforced withreinforcer 48 in some iterations. This type ofend ring 28 will function to join two sections of filtration material together, i.e. two sections ofFIG. 2 joined by oneend ring 28′. If the two sections are to be the only ones in a configuration thenend rings 28 will be on either final end of the filtration media sections and anend ring 28′ in the middle. If there are to be more sections of filtration material, thenmore end rings 28′ will be used between each section. There is no limit to the number of sections that may be used subject only to practicality. - Referring to
