In unconsolidated reservoirs, formation sand can cause major disruption to oil and gas production. It can contaminate product, plug the wellbore, slow production, damage equipment – and even spread downstream to pipelines and refining facilities.
Benefits of 3M? Ceramic Sand Screens
Conventional metallic sand screens, one of the most common sand control methods, are vulnerable to abrasion and erosion – challenges that are prevalent in the unconsolidated formations where sand control is most critical. 3M? Ceramic Sand Screens over a proven alternative. Made from extremely hard, erosion-resistant materials, 3M ceramic sand screens are more durable, more reliable and longer lasting than metallic screens.
3M ceramic sand screens can help maximize your flow capacity, productivity and well life. Check out our videos and case studies to see this breakthrough technology in action!
Simpler sand control is possible.
3M ceramic sand screens are an alternative to gravel packing, with simpler logistics and completion design. They can be deployed in new or existing horizontal, deviated or vertical wells and can unlock wells where sand failure has occurred – giving you a unique opportunity to produce reserves that would otherwise be lost.
That’s sand control – made simple.
