A premium alternative to wire-wrap and pre-pack screens for gravel-pack, frac-pack, or stand-alone applications. Facsrite Premium discs are flush mounted and secured into the basepipe, thereby creating an economical screen that is significantly stronger than slotted liner and offers much greater open flow area (OFA).Facsrite cost-effective geometry provides signficantly more torsion, compression, and collapse strength than slotted liner.
Facsrite has been qualified for SAGD applications - using both FEA analysis, and full-scale thermal-mechanical testing - as presented in SPE 117486 and WHOC-373. Facsrite screens are so robust that they can be handled like casing and feasibly drilled into place. Such characteristics help reduce completion costs.Exotic metals or super alloys such as InconeITM and HastelloyTM are available. filtration.
