Definitions
- the present invention relates to a particle control screen for depth filtration, particularly for use in a well.
- Liquids and gases in oil and gas wells typically include particulates that need to be filtered, including sand, clay, and other unconsolidated particulate matter.
- sand, clay, and other unconsolidated particulate matter The presence of sand and other fine particles in the production fluid and well equipment often leads to the rapid erosion of expensive well machinery and hardware.
- Subterranean filters also known as sand screens or well screens, have been used in the petroleum industry to remove particulates from production fluids.
- the well screens are generally tubular in shape and include a perforated base pipe, a porous filter layer wrapped around and secured to the pipe, and an outer cover.
- the well screens are used where fluid enters a production string, such, that the production fluid must pass through the filter layer and into the perforated pipe prior to entering the production string and being pumped to the surface.
- woven wire mesh is considered surface filtration, which means that the mesh prevents particles of the desired micron size and larger from passing through the mesh and all the particles are trapped on the top surface of the mesh.
- Wire wrap is also a common type of surface filtration.
- Wire wrap is usually triangular shaped wire wrapped around a base pipe, with a given gap between wires to accomplish a micron rating.
- One difficulty with surface filtration is that as larger particles are captured on the filter layer, the open spaces become smaller and smaller, thus capturing smaller and smaller particles. Eventually the particles being captured are so fine that the filter becomes plugged, severely reducing or stopping flow of formation fluids through the screen to the base pipe.
- Heavy oil is an asphaltic, dense (i.e. low API gravity), and viscous oil that is chemically characterized by the presence of asphaltenes, which are very large molecules incorporating most of the sulfur and metals in the oil. Heavy oil generally has a gravity of less than 22 degrees API gravity and a viscosity of greater than 100 centipoise. Extra-heavy oil is heavy oil having an API gravity of less than 10 degrees.
- Natural bitumen also called tar sands or oil sands, generally has a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise.
- Oil sands can include as low as 10% bitumen and 85% or more clay, sand, and rocks. Heavy oil is more difficult to remove from the formation and also includes more particulate matter than conventional oil deposits. Thus, heavy oil is generally also harder to filter than conventional oil deposits.
- the present invention uses depth filtration to trap different size particles at different locations through out the thickness of the filtration media. Larger particles are trapped on the outer layer of mesh with the subsequent layers trapping smaller and smaller particles until reaching the final desired micron rating. This prevents particle build-up from becoming so fine that plugging occurs and increases the particles-holding capacity of the filter, which gives the filter a longer life.
- a particle control screen includes a support layer.
- a first filter layer is disposed around the support layer.
- a second filter layer is disposed around the first filter layer.
- a third filter layer is disposed around the second filter layer.
- Each of the filter layers has a pore size.
- the pore size of the third, filter layer is greater than the pore size of the second filter layer.
- the pore size of the second filter layer is greater than the pore size of the first filter layer.
- a method of filtering a fluid in a downhole formation includes providing an assembly including a base pipe and a particle control screen assembly.
- the particle control screen assembly includes a support layer, a first filter layer disposed around, the support layer, and a second filter layer disposed around the first filter layer.
- Each of the filter layers has a pore size.
- the pore size of the second filter layer is greater than the pore size of the first filter layer.
- At least a first end of the particle control screen assembly is circumferentially welded to the base pipe. The assembly is disposed into a downhole formation comprising a fluid comprising heavy oil. The fluid is drawn in from the formation through the particle control screen assembly and into the base pipe. The particle control screen assembly filters the fluid.

- the present invention is particularly useful for filtering heavy oil.
- heavy oil includes heavy oil, extra heavy oil, oil sands, tar sand, and bitumen. Because of its high viscosity, heavy oil does not flow readily in conventional wells. Heavy oil can be extracted using several methods including, but not limited to, steam flood, steam assisted gravity drain (SAGD), and cold production. Ih the steam flood method, injection wells pump steam into the heavy oil reservoir. The pressure of the steam forces the heated heavy oil to adjacent production wells. La SAGD, two horizontal wells are drilled in the oil sands, one at the bottom of the formation and another above it. Steam is injected into the upper well where the heat melts the bitumen.
- SAGD steam assisted gravity drain
- bitumen flows into the lower well, where it is pumped to the surface.
- the oil In cold production, the oil is simply pumped out of the formation, often using specialized pumps called progressive cavity pumps. This only works well in areas where the oil is fluid enough to pump.
- progressive cavity pumps This only works well in areas where the oil is fluid enough to pump.

- Fig. 1 shows the various layers cut away for viewing purposes, in actual use the layers would typically run substantially the entire length of the base pipe 20.
- the particle control screen assembly 10 is typically cylindrically shaped to mate with the base pipe 20. As shown in Fig. 2A 5 the particle control screen includes at least one support layer 12 and at least two filter layers 14, 16 around the support layer 12. To create a depth filtration effect, the pore size of the outer filter layer 16 is greater than the pore size of the inner filter layer 14. In one embodiment, the particle control screen includes three filters layers 14, 16, 18, where the pore size of the outer filter layer 18 is greater than the pore size of the second filter layer 16, and the pore size of the second filter layer 16 is greater than the pore size of the inner filter layer 14. [0027] The number of filter layers may vary depending on the desired application. For example, in another embodiment, the particle control screen may include a fourth filter layer (not shown) disposed between the support layer 12 and the inner filter layer 14. In other embodiments, the particle control screen may include five, six, or more filter layers.
- the support layer 12 provides structural support for the screen assembly 10 and also may act as a drainage layer.

- the filter layers 14, 16, 18 can be diffusion bonded, sintered, or unsintered.
- the filter layers 14, 16, 18 preferably use square mesh to form the depth filtration media. However, the filter layers 14, 16, 18 may also use off-aspect or "off-count” weaves, which are weaves that axe plain, woven with the warp and the shute wires of the same diameter with different wire counts. It should be noted that the filter layers 14, 16, 18 can be formed using all types of - mesh and mesh counts and wire diameters.
- a cylindrical metal structure 40 may also be used.
- Metal structure 40 provides a "safe edge" that protects the screen assembly 10 at its end, and can be welded to other structures (such as the base pipe 20) or can be welded upon as desired without concern about burning the screen wires of the mesh layers.
- the filter layers 14, 16, 18 may also overlap part of the metal structure 40 material and be welded thereto.
- a circumferential metal weld 42 connects the screen assembly 10 and the cylindrical metal structure 40.
- a particle screen assembly 17 includes one support layer 12 and two filter layers 14 and 16.
- the support layer 12 and mesh layers 14, 16, 18 are preferably in direct contact with each other with no appreciable gap between the layers. However, it is possible to have gaps between some or all of the layers. Additionally, it is possible to have spacers or other materials, such as additional mesh layers, between the mesh layers. These spacers or additional mesh layers may be especially useful for applications using sintered or diffusion ⁇ bonded mesh layers. Furthermore, the particle control screen 10 may also be used in expandable screen applications.
- the particle control screen 10 desirably includes a longitudinal weld seam 32 rurr ⁇ ing the length of the particle control screen assembly 10.
- the weld seam 32 seals one edge 34 of the filter layer to the other edge 36.
- the weld seam 32 may also connect the support layer 12 and filter layers 14, 16, 18 together.
- the filter layers may also be spirally wrapped around the base pipe 20.
- the filter layers 14, 16, 18 have pore sizes to selectively prevent the inflow of certain sizes of particles through the base pipe 20.

- the second or intermediate filter layer 16 preferably has a pore size of between 150 and 400 micron.
- the third or outer filter layer 18 preferably has a pore size of between 200 and 1200 micron.
- An additional filter layer (not shown) may be disposed around the support layer 12 as an innermost layer with a pore size between 75 micron and 150 micron.
- Different downhole conditions may involve fluids with different . particle size distributions.
- the particle size distribution of the fluid may influence the selection of the pore sizes of the mesh layers in the particle control screen assembly.
- the first filter layer 14 may have a pore size of between 100 and 200 micron or between 200 and 300 micron.
- the second filter layer 16 may have a pore size between 150 and 300 micron, between 250 and 350 micron, or betweea 300 and 450 micron.
- the third filter layer 18 may have a poxe size between 500 and 1200 micron, between 200 and 400 micron, between 500 and 600 micron, or between 600 and 800 micron.
- the support or drainage layer(s) 12 (and 13, if present) is typically much coarser than the filter layers.
- typical sizes for the support layer 12 include 16x16x0.023", 20x20x0.016", and 10x10x0.035".
- the support layer(s) 12 and/or 13 may also be a much coarser layer (such as 8X8X0.032"), which, however, would make it difficult to integrally weld with the other meshes at the seam. In the event that a coarser support / drainage layer(s) is required, the support/ drainage layer(s) would generally not be tied into the seam weld.
- the support and/or filter layers may also include wire wrap.
- At least one end 24 of the particle control screen assembly 10 is typically circumferentially welded to the base pipe 20 by weld 26.
- a wrapper 30 is disposed around the particle control screen and also preferably welded thereto.

- the operation of the particle control assembly 10 is as follows.
- the particle control screen assembly 10 is disposed in a downhole or subsurface formation.
- the fluid may also include other components such as natural gas, steam and/or water.
- the fluid flows either by being pumped therethrough, or due to the pressure existing in the borehole.
- the fluid first passes through the outer wrapper 30.
- the outermost filter layer 18 removes relatively large particles from the fluid.
- the next filter layer 16 removes medium-sized particles from the fluid.
- the inner filter layer 14 removes smaller particles from the fluid.
- the fluid then passes through the holes 22 of the base pipe 20 and can then be drawn to the surface.

It will be appreciated that actual size ranges can vary depending upon actual well requirements.
- the support layer 12 and filter layers 14, 16, 18 may be diffusion bonded, sintered, or unsintered.
- unsintered filter layers two or more filter layers are stacked, with the mesh sizes depending on the desired filtering qualities.
- the filter layers are positioned with respect to each other to form a multi-layer unsintered screen.
- the filter layers may be tacked together to hold them in place for the later fabrication steps. During tacking, the filter layers may be pressed flat by a plate to prevent ripples from forming.
- Metal strips 40 (shown in Figs. 3A and 3B) may be attached to opposite ends of the multi-layered unsintered screen. The metal strips 40 are welded to the multi-layered unsintered screen. [0040] The screen is then formed into a generally cylindrical shape. If the longitudinal edges of the layers do not align, they may be trimmed so that the longitudinal edges of each layer are generally coterminous.
- a plasma cutting machine may be used to trim the longitudinal edges. To accomplish this, the generally cylindrical shape is placed in the plasma cutting machine and secured onto a mandrel.
- the mandrel is used to hold the generally cylindrical shape securely and also provide a guide for the plasma cutting machine to trim the longitudinal edges.
- the mandrel includes a milled slot along its length.
- the plasma torch travels along the mandrel and trims the longitudinal edges of each layer.
- the trimming process makes possible the formation of a longitudinal weld of unsintered/non-diffusion bonded mesh layers.
- the longitudinal edges of the mesh layers are then welded together.
- a longitudinal seam weld 32 is made along the entire length of the tube, as shown in Fig. 1.
- the filter layers are deposited around the base pipe 20 or support layer 12 by spiral wrapping, as shown in Fig. 5.
- a long strip of layer mesh including several filter layers is provided.
- the filter layers 14, 16, 18 are wrapped around the base pipe 20 or other support layer such that the edges of the filter layers overlap at spiral seam 38. Seam 38 spirals axially along the base pipe 20 or other support as the filter layers are wound around the base pipe 20 or other support.
- the filter layers are formed into a generally cylindrical shape and the longitudinal edges of the filter layers are overlapped and welded. The entire filter assembly is then slid into a wrapper for ' assembly to a base pipe. The ends of the screen are fastened to the base pipe using standard assembly methods including, but not limited to, crimping, swaging or swage and welding.
