Production of sand from oil and gas wells necessitates the application of techniques for sand control. Sand screens are widely used. However, they are susceptible to failures, often stemming from improper selection and design. This study reviews existing selection criteria and identifies the causes of failures. It has been concluded that, sand screens selection should not rely on a single method but should consider a comprehensive combination of factors. This paper presents comparative analyses among various sand screen types. Also, it compares different materials used in sand screens, such as expandable, ceramics, metallic alloys, polymers, and shape memory materials, in terms of their performance and susceptibility to failure. These comprehensive comparisons can greatly assist in the optimized selection process for sand screens.
油气井出砂需要应用防砂技术。防砂筛管被广泛使用。然而，它们容易出现故障，这通常源于选择和设计不当。本研究回顾了现有的选择标准并确定了故障原因。得出的结论是，防砂筛管的选择不应依赖单一方法，而应综合考虑多种因素。本文对各种类型的防砂筛管进行了比较分析。此外，还比较了防砂筛管中使用的不同材料，如可膨胀材料、陶瓷、金属合金、聚合物和形状记忆材料，在性能和易失效性方面的差异。这些全面的比较能够极大地有助于防砂筛管的优化选择过程。
