Steelhaus' Pangea PPS has been engineered using a precision punched shroud covering a perforated base pipe designed to optimize flow without compromising screen strength. The robust design of the screen eliminates many of the failure types commonly associated with slotted liner, while the variable open flow area allows for sand control optimization. Slots are configured to provide reliable sand control based on specific particle size distributions. Harmful particulates are effectively retained by the slotted liner while providing maximum permeability and superior well productivity.
