Abstract: A wellbore screen for screening particulates in wellbore fluid comprising: a base pipe having an inner bore; and a screen section disposed in a section of the base pipe, the screen section comprising (i) an outer jacket having an inner facing surface and apertures extending through the outer jacket, (ii) an inner wall having an outer surface, an inner surface and a port extending through the inner wall from the inner surface to the outer surface, (iii) an annulus formed between the inner facing surface of the outer jacket and the outer surface of the inner wall, (iv) a filter medium for the apertures of the outer jacket; and (v) a filter disc disposed in the port of the inner wall, wherein wellbore fluid flows from outside the base pipe into the inner bore through the apertures, the filter medium, the annulus, and the filter disc.

Abstract: A wellbore screen including: an apertured base pipe; an intermediate filtering layer including a plurality of metal fibers wrapped helically around the apertured base pipe and a fluid tracing filament wrapped helically about the apertured base pipe, the fluid tracing filament including a filament structure and a tracer carried by the filament structure, the tracer being entrainable produced fluids in a wellbore environment; and an outer apertured shell over the intermediate layer. A method for producing a wellbore screen, the method comprising: forming a filter tube by wrapping an intermediate layer, including a metal wool fiber strip and a fluid tracing filament, about an apertured base pipe in a helical arrangement under tension; positioning the filter tube within the long bore of an outer apertured sleeve; and securing the outer apertured sleeve and the filter tube together.

Abstract: A cartridge-type wellbore screen includes a fluid tracing material carried by the wellbore tubular and mounted at a mounting site spaced from an opening through the screen wall to the screen's inner diameter and outwardly of the inner diameter, the mounting site being positioned such that a fluid flow path is restricted to be from the mounting site, along the outer surface of the screen and through the opening before entering the inner diameter. The screen can be used for treating wellbore fluids.

Abstract: A cartridge-type wellbore screen includes: a cylindrical wall including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, an inner surface defining an inner diameter of the wellbore screen, the inner diameter being open from the first end to the second end, and an outer surface; an opening to the inner diameter through the cylindrical wall the opening extending between the outer surface and the inner surface to provide fluid access from the outer surface to the inner diameter; a fluid filtering material positioned to filter oversize particles from passing through the opening; and a fluid tracing material carried by the wellbore tubular and mounted at a mounting site spaced from the opening to the inner diameter and outwardly of the inner diameter, the mounting site being positioned such that a fluid flow path is restricted to be from the mounting site, along the outer surface and through the opening before entering the inner diameter.

Abstract: A wellbore tubular including: an inner tubular wall; an opening through the inner tubular wall; an outer tubular wall positioned about the inner tubular, the outer tubular wall including an opening therethrough; a chamber between the inner tubular wall and the outer tubular wall; and a chemical treatment material in the chamber and positioned between the opening of the inner tubular wall and the opening of the outer tubular wall. The wellbore tubular may be used in downhole fluid treatment process.

Abstract: A wellbore screen includes a base pipe including a wall, an inner bore surface and an outer surface, an opening formed through the base pipe wall and a filter cartridge mounted in the opening. In one aspect, the wellbore screen includes an impermeable layer relative to the opening and the impermeable layer may be selected to be substantially impermeable when in a closed position in the opening to passage of fluids through the opening and, the impermeable layer is at least one of (i) selectively openable to permit fluid flow through the opening and (ii) selectively closeable when triggered to close the opening. In another aspect, the opening may include a tapering diameter from one end to the other and the filter cartridge may include an outer diameter formed to reversibly and substantially correspondingly taper relative to the opening to permit a taper lock fit in the opening.
