Pioneer
Pipe-based, wire-wrapped sand control screen

The Pioneer pipe-based, wire-wrapped, allwelded screen provides an economical, reliable
and effective method of allowing production fluid
to flow into the well while preventing gravel-pack
sand from entering. It has been used successfully
in deep, high pressure, high temperature and
highly deviated wells. The screen can be modified
to meet a wide variety of well applications including steam, water flood, water source, injection
and waste disposal.
Worldwide, almost 50% of all oil and gas well

sand screens run are the wire-wrapped, continuous slot design. Our screens feature an all-welded
continuous gauge wedge or V-shaped wire that
produces a self-cleaning action for greater flow
and less chance of plugging. The Pioneer sand
screen is manufactured by a sophisticated, electronically controlled fusion-welding process.
These screens are custom-built to exact specifications and expected well conditions using a wide
range of wrap wire and base pipe alloys. They

provide maximum flow area, high well efficiencies

and superior tensile strength for dependability
and long well life.
The Pioneers wire-wrapped design produces an
inflow area almost ten times greater than slotted pipe of the same opening size. This greatly
enhances well life and filtration capacity. Pioneer
screens come in a full range of sizes with base
pipe ODs from 1.9 in. to 18.0 in.
Applications
Used most often in gravelpacked completions
Economical and effective in
wide range of applications from
HP/HT wells to water wells
Effective in wells with extreme
lengths, severe doglegs and the
tortuous environment of openhole completions.

Pipe-based, wire-wrapped sand control screen
Advantages
High number of ribs for greater collapse resistance, reduced
necking at the weld to ensure consistent slot size and a round
wear-resistant outer profile
Self-cleaning design provides consistent, clog-free performance
Choice of wrap wire and base pipe alloys allows for custom
engineering to match specific production environments
Purpose built for oil, gas or water producing wells and injectors,
as well as waterflood, steamflood and disposal wells
Designed not to separate when pulled or nest when milled,
provides a more field-friendly screen
More effective than slotted liners by up to ten times.
