Abstract

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a wellscreen and a wellscreen that have the mechanical properties of a direct-wrap wellscreen and the precise slot tolerance of a slip-on wellscreen. In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a wellscreen for use in a wellbore is provided. The method includes disposing a filter subassembly on a base pipe sized so that there is annulus between the base pipe and the filter subassembly. The filter subassembly includes a length of wire wrapped and welded along a plurality of rods so that a slot is defined between adjacent coils of wire. The method further includes expanding the base pipe so that the slot is not substantially altered, thereby substantially reducing or eliminating the annulus.

Claims (16)

1. A method for manufacturing a wellscreen for use in a wellbore, comprising:
disposing a filter subassembly on a base pipe sized so that there is annulus between the base pipe and the filter subassembly, the filter subassembly comprising a length of wire wrapped and welded along a plurality of rods so that a slot is defined between adjacent coils of wire;
expanding the base pipe so that the slot is not substantially altered, thereby substantially reducing or eliminating the annulus.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is expanded into contact with the rods, thereby eliminating the annulus.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is expanded on the surface.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is expanded in the wellbore.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is expanded with a rotary-type expander tool.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is plastically expanded.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising wrapping the length of wire on the plurality of rods, wherein the wire is welded to the rods as the wire is being wrapped.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the rods are disposed along a precisely machined mandrel when the wire is wrapped and welded along the rods.
9. A wellscreen for use in a wellbore, manufactured by a method, the method comprising:

disposing a filter subassembly on a base pipe sized so that there is annulus between the base pipe and the filter subassembly, the filter subassembly comprising a length of wire wrapped and welded along a plurality of rods so that a slot is defined between adjacent coils of wire;
expanding the base pipe so that the slot is not substantially altered, thereby substantially reducing or eliminating the annulus.
10. The wellscreen of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is expanded into contact with the rods, thereby eliminating the annulus.
11. The wellscreen of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is expanded on the surface.
12. The wellscreen of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is expanded in the wellbore.
13. The wellscreen of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is expanded with a rotary-type expander tool.
14. The wellscreen of claim 1, wherein the base pipe is plastically expanded.
15. The wellscreen of claim 1, further comprising wrapping the length of wire on the plurality of rods, wherein the wire is welded to the rods as the wire is being wrapped.
16. The wellscreen of claim 15, wherein the rods are disposed along a precisely machined mandrel when the wire is wrapped and welded along the rods.
