Slotted casing is a superior technology that was designed to provide efficient and reliable sand control. It consists of J55 or N80 oil casing that has high strength and is not prone to deformation.
Slotted casing is a superior technology that was designed to provide efficient and reliable sand control. It consists of J55 or N80 oil casing that has high strength and is not prone to deformation.
Its cutting edge is perfectly perpendicular, and the edges are smooth without burrs, making the cutting process uniform and efficient. The slotted casing has a large flow area, which is ideal for liquid flow. For instance, a 2 7/8" screen pipe with 300 slits/1.5m has a flow area of 72 per cubic centimeter, which is 2.4 times larger than the tubing of the same specification.
Slotted casing technology has several advantages in inclined and horizontal wells as it is easy to configure and operate. Its large internal diameter ensures easy string configuration, and its simple operation makes it a desirable choice for the oil and gas industry.
Overall anti-corrosion treatment is applied to each surface of the screen pipe to form a dense protective layer, enhancing its wear and corrosion resistance. This treatment contributes to its prolonged downhole service life and makes slotted casing ideal for sand control operations.
In conclusion, slotted casing is a reliable way to improve performance and reduce costs in sand control operations in the oil and gas industry. Its superior technology ensures efficient sand control and increased oil and gas production in a broad range of wellbore conditions.
