Sand Control Screen Selection

Sand Control Screen Selection MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Select optimal sand control screens based on formation grain size and well conditions.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools to select the most effective sand control screens for wellbore stability. By analyzing formation grain size distribution (GSD) and wellbore fluid dynamics, users can determine the ideal screen type, such as wire-wrap or premium screens, and calculate precise gauge openings. The tools evaluate operational risks like plugging and erosion to ensure long-term sand retention and well integrity.

What screen type should I use for a standalone method in a low stability formation?

For a standalone method in a low stability formation, a premium screen is recommended to ensure high sand retention and erosion resistance.

Calculate the opening size for a formation with a d50 of 0.2mm and d10 of 0.05mm using a gravel pack method.

The recommended gauge opening for these parameters is 0.15mm, providing a sufficient retention safety factor for the gravel pack.

What are the risks if I have a flow velocity of 5.0 m/s and high particle concentration with a mesh screen?

With a flow velocity of 5.0 m/s and high particle concentration, a mesh screen carries a high risk of erosion and a medium risk of plugging.

You can use the `get_screen_type` tool by providing the sand control method and the qualitative stability of the formation.
