SECURE DIRECT WRAP PREMIUM SCREEN
Secure is a Direct Wrap Premium Screen designed for sand control applications, and one of the latest technologies developed by CP.
Using the principles of Direct Wrap and swaging, gaps between layers are eliminated, delivering exceptional mechanical properties while providing high open area for sand control performance. A Premium Screen’s performance derives from two characteristics: the filter media properties such as pore size and geometry and secondly the overall construction of the screen. Secure Premium Screen utilizes a unique heat treatment process after weaving which increases the mechanical properties of the screen such as burst, collapse, etc; it also doesn’t require welding.
Secure Premium Screen overall has an inner and outer drainage layers that provides a uniform standoff between the perforated base pipe, filter media and protective shroud: two drainage layers help ensure uniform flow over the surface area of the filter media. The Secure filter mesh is spirally wrapped tight onto the inner drainage layer with an overlap ensuring sand control integrity. Furthermore the unique protective shroud sizing process enhances the mechanical properties and reduces the product OD.

Manufacturing & Quality
Customized state-of-art machine with semi-automated control system that produces high quality Direct Wrap premium mesh sand control screens.
The manufacture of Secure undergoes rigorous quality assurance and control practices including a detailed Quality Control Plan, operator traceability and full inspection throughout the process. The critical filter media element is sent to a thirdparty laboratory, Whitehouse Scientific for glass bead testing to define its Filter Cut Point and to verify that the filter media is within specification. Mesh undergoes a full stringent inspection, with all information correlated into a Quality Dossier delivered with the product.
All products are manufactured with 100% traceability records.
Secure has been tested under the ISO 17824 for Sand Control Screens with excellent results in burst and collapse tests.
THROUGH TUBING SYSTEM
Thru-tubing screens are miniatured version of the screen , designed to run inside existing tubing string as small as 2-3/8”.Screens are installed to perform re-medial sand control inside a failed screen or tubing where sand control was not installed.Thru-tubing screens can be gravel packed or run as stand-alone screens, depending on the sand conditions. Sizes ranges from 1” base pipe OD to 1.9”, with a product OD of 1.5” to 2.4”.
