Embodiment Construction

[0031] Certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention relate to screen assemblies capable of being disposed in a perforation (eg, a wellbore) of a formation for producing hydrocarbon fluids from the formation. The screen assembly can be configured to support the conduit and reduce or eliminate clogging of the conduit by the expandable material. Screen assemblies according to some embodiments include a support material positioned between the conduit and the expandable material external to the base pipe. The conduit may include a plurality of perforations and may receive and direct hydrocarbon fluids from the formation. The expandable material is capable of expanding upon contact with the activating fluid and displacing the surface of the catheter towards the bore. The expandable material is capable of expanding to a greater extent than the support material, and the support material can reduce or prevent blockage of the perforation caused by expansion of the expandabl...

Abstract

The present invention describes an expandable screen assembly, particularly a screen assembly capable of being disposed in a wellbore for hydrocarbon fluid production. The screen assembly can support a conduit for receiving hydrocarbon fluid and can reduce or eliminate clogging of the conduit by swellable material. The screen assembly may include a support material positioned between the conduit and the expandable material on the exterior of the base pipe. The conduit may include a plurality of perforations and is capable of receiving and directing hydrocarbon fluids from the formation. The expandable material is capable of expanding and displacing the catheter toward the surface of the wellbore upon contact with the activating fluid. The expandable material is capable of expanding to a greater extent than the support material, and the support material is capable of reducing or preventing blockage of the perforation caused by expansion of the expandable material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to control screens for subsurface fluid production, and more particularly (though not necessarily exclusively) to a swellable screen assembly having Support material for catheters. Background technique [0002] Hydrocarbons may be produced by wellbores penetrating the formation. In some cases, the formation may be unconsolidated or loosely consolidated. Particulate matter such as sand from such formations may be produced along with hydrocarbons. The output of particulate matter can cause many problems. These problems include, for example, production of particulate matter at the surface, wear of components in the production assembly, partial or complete blockage of the production interval, and failure of the production assembly due to collapse onto part or all of the production assembly. damage. [0003] Expandable control screens such as sand control screens may be used to provide stability to the formation ...
