The wedge wire well screen is a type of mechanical separation device used in oil, gas or water extraction to filter out sand and other particulates from the produced fluids. It consists of V-shaped wires welded together to form a robust, slotted screen with precise openings. These screens are typically made from high-strength materials like stainless steel or carbon steel to withstand harsh downhole conditions.

End connection: welding (beveled end), thread coupling(STC, LTC, BTC), flange, etc. |
Oil and Gas Production: Used in both onshore and offshore drilling operations to manage sand production and protect downhole equipment.
Water Injection Wells: Ensures clean injection of water into reservoirs, preventing clogging and maintaining well integrity.
Artesian Wells: Protects well components from sand ingress, prolonging the life of the well.
