Expandable sand screens

Expandable sand screens are specialized equipment used in oil and gas wells to prevent sand from entering the wellbore while allowing fluids to flow efficiently. They are made of a flexible, durable material that can be compressed or collapsed to fit inside a drilled borehole. Once positioned in the desired zone, they expand to provide a protective filter structure that maintains well integrity and enhances production. This technology enables access to challenging or unconsolidated formations where traditional screens may not fit, improving well stability, reducing sand production issues, and increasing overall extraction efficiency.
