Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing or surface treating a wire wrapped screen for use in a wellbore improves the erosion resistance of the wire-wrapped screen. The wire-wrapped screen can be disposed on an axle positioned in a chamber containing a source of erosion resistant surface coating. The coating is then deposited on the exterior of the wire-wrapped screen using a deposition process, such as physical vapor deposition or thermal spraying. Alternatively, a spray system proximate the wire-wrapped screen can have a deposition nozzle to coat the exterior surface of the screen with an elastomer coating by spraying an elastomer. In additional embodiments, the wire for the wire-wrapped screen can first be treated for erosion resistance and then wound about a mandrel to form the wire-wrapped screen.
