Slotted Casing

Slotted Casing


Product Name：Slotted Casing，Slotted Pipes, Slotted liner, Premium Screen, Sand Control Well Screens


Slotted casing pipe is a method of cutting multiple longitudinal or spiral straight-arranged and staggered slits of certain specifications on oil casing and tubing in various ways. It is made by using a special ultra-thin cutting sheet and beam cutting, with a slit width (0.2-0.5mm). The cross-sections of the seams are rectangular, trapezoidal (trapezoid angle is 3-8 degrees) and special shapes (round holes), etc., which can ensure the permeability of 0.5%-10%. The layout of the seams can be processed according to user requirements.Slotted screens are widely used in filtration and screening processes in the fields of oil, natural gas, groundwater, etc. Its main function is to effectively prevent sand and other impurities from entering the production pipeline through precise slot design, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of fluids and increasing the service life of the equipment. Slotted screens are also commonly used in filtration systems in water wells, geothermal wells, chemical and mining industries to ensure the purity of resources and production efficiency.

Slotting patterns of Slotted Casing

Three distinct slot layouts have been created to accommodate distinct traits (shown below). In comparison to staggered and straight slot patterns, the gang slot design significantly improves the liner’s resistance to lateral buckling and collapse stresses.




Staggered Slotted Casing
 Gang Slotted Casing
 Straight Slotted Casing
Staggered slots are evenly distributed around the circumference with an offset
 Gang slots are made up of many slots that are dispersed around the perimeter
 Straight slotted liner features slot columns spaced evenly around the circumference without offset

Slot types of Slotted Casing

- Straight Slots

This slot type is cut perpendicular to the liner and has the same diameter from the inside to the outside of the wall. While straight slots are less expensive to build, they are less effective in containing sand than keystone slots.


- Keystone Slots
Keystone slots, or tapered slots, are cut at a little angle and are larger on the inside than on the outside, ensuring that any particle entering the slot can pass freely without clogging it.

While keystone slots are more expensive to manufacture than straight slots, they eliminate the danger of production losses caused by filled liner slots.

Advantages and Features of Slotted Casing Products

1. Slotted casing is suitable for sand prevention in sand-producing wells with sand particles larger than 0.3mm.
2. The slotted casing has good edge verticality, smooth cutting edges without burrs, and uniform slits.
3. Large flow area, 27/8" screen has 300 slits/1.5m, which is 2.4 times the flow area of the same specification oil pipe.
4. The overall performance stabilization treatment improves the corrosion resistance and performance of the slotted casing, and can extend its downhole working life.
5. The slotted casing adopts J55 or N80 oil casing body, which has good strength and is not easy to deform.
6. The slotted casing has a large inner diameter, which is convenient for configuring the pipe column.

7. The slotted casing used in oil production can prevent sand by 99%, reduce oil well overhaul by 80%, and improve the strength, sand prevention integrity and stability of the oil well. At the same time, laser cutting technology can make the slits smooth and high-precision. The slotted casing has a simple structure but high efficiency.
