Slotted Liner - An Effective Sand Control Solution in Oil Exploration

Slotted Liner is used in oil and gas wells with sand particle sizes larger than 0.3 mm to enhance the permeability of the wells. By cutting specific specifications of slots on J55 or N80 oil casing or tubing, we achieve sand filtration while allowing oil and gas to flow through, effectively preventing wellbore blockage. Our slotted liners are suitable for various geological conditions and wellbore sizes, making them a reliable and cost-effective choice to improve the productivity and stability of oil and gas wells.

Slotted Liner Patterns

We offer three different slotted liner patterns. Compared to staggered and straight slot patterns, gang slot pattern has superiority over installation torque-loading capacity and substantially improves the liner's resistance to lateral bucking and collapse pressures.

Slot Shapes

There are two types of slots for slotted liners based on their geometric shapes - straight cut slots and seamed keystone slots. Seamed keystone slots have better performance than typical straight cut slots, but they are slightly more expensive.

Applications

• Water Well and Pump System: By drilling or perforating slots or gaps on the steel pipe, it allows underground water to flow freely into the pipeline while preventing soil and particles from entering the pipe.
• Oil or Gas Wells: Slotted liners are placed inside the well casing to prevent sediment and particles from entering the casing while allowing oil and gas to flow freely into the casing.
• Filters and Screens: The size and shape of the slots or gaps can be designed according to specific filtration needs to filter solid particles or impurities in liquids or gases.
• Underground Engineering and Infrastructure: Slotted liners can be used in various aspects such as hydraulic control, soil stabilization, and groundwater management in underground tunnels, subways, bridges, and wastewater treatment facilities.
