Wire Mesh Solutions for the Oil & Gas Industry
Lawrence Sintered Metals provides a range of fine woven and micronic wire meshes for use throughout the oil and gas sector—from wellbore sand control to refinery filtration. Our wire mesh solutions are engineered for durability, performance, and precision in harsh environments.
One of the most critical applications in oil extraction is sand control, which prevents sand and rock particles from entering the wellbore during drilling and production. To achieve this, we supply sand control screens made from single or multi-layer micronic mesh sheets. These screens offer high mechanical stability and maintain consistent pore openings even under pressure.
Sand Control Screens for Wellbores and Reservoirs
Our sand control screens are constructed from multiple layers of woven wire mesh, designed to combine the filtration characteristics of specialty woven products with the durability of conventional mesh. Depending on the wellbore or oil reservoir, screens can be customized for micron rating, strength, and formation type.
Benefits of our sand control screens include:
- Effective filtration across a wide range of formation sands
- Fixed pore geometry via diffusion bonding to withstand high pressures
- High porosity for lower pressure drops and longer service life
- Micronic mesh that maintains integrity during installation
We offer both standard and custom configurations, including options with perforated metal backing for added support in sand-prone reservoirs.
Engineered for Performance in Filtration Applications
In addition to sand control, our sintered wire mesh is widely used in refinery filtration and other downstream oil and gas processes. Laminates and custom meshes can be designed for specific flow rates, particulate retention, and chemical compatibility.
