Sand screen

A sand screen is a specialized filter used in oil and gas wells to prevent produced sand from flowing into the wellbore and equipment. It is typically covered with a mesh or perforated material that allows fluids like oil and gas to pass through while trapping larger sand particles. This helps protect the well, improve production efficiency, and prevent equipment damage caused by abrasive sand. Sand screens are often placed inside the well near the production zone and are designed to withstand high pressures and harsh conditions underground.
