  • Apparatus for reducing the production of particulate material in a subterranean well
    Patent number: 6152218
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for reducing the production of sand and other mineral particles within the production fluids of a subterranean wells. The apparatus includes a tubular conduit having openings therein which are protected by flow diversion shields. The flow diversion shields are arranged so that the flow of the production fluids into the tubular conduit is less than the gravitationally induced falling rate of the particulate material thereby separating a majority of the particulate material from the production fluid.
