BS EN ISO 17824:2014

What is ISO 17824 - Sand screens for use in the petroleum and natural gas industries about?  

ISO 17824 the requirements and guidelines for sand control screens for use in the petroleum and natural gas industries. Included are the requirements for design, design validation, functional evaluation, manufacturing, storage and transport.  

The requirements of ISO 17824 are applicable to wire-wrap screens, pre-pack screens and metal-mesh screens as defined herein. 

Note: The following items are outside the scope of ISO 17824: 

• Expandable sand screens, slotted liners or tubing and accessory items such as centralizers or bull plugs 
• Shunt screen technology, inflow control devices, downhole sensors and selective isolation devices, even where they can be an integral part of the sand control screen 
• Screen filtration performance criteria, including test methods or analysis for sand retention efficiency 
• End connections of the base pipe 

Who is ISO 17824 - Sand screens for use in the petroleum and natural gas industries for? 

ISO 17824 on sand screens for use in the petroleum and natural gas industries is useful for: 

• Supplier/manufacturers of sand control screens 
• User/purchasers of sand control screens 
• Petroleum and natural gas industry 

Why should you use ISO 17824 - Sand screens for use in the petroleum and natural gas industries? 

ISO 17824 provides requirements and information to user/purchasers and supplier/manufacturers of sand control screens regarding the manufacture, mechanical properties and testing of sand control screens intended for use in petroleum and natural gas wells.  

Further, ISO 17824 addresses supplier/manufacturer requirements that set the minimum parameters with which it is necessary that supplier/manufacturers comply to claim conformity with ISO 17824. 

ISO 17824 is structured with grades of increased requirements for both design validation and quality control. Three design validation grades (V1, V2 and V3) and three quality grades (Q1, Q2 and Q3) provide the user/purchaser the choice of requirements to meet a specific preference or application. Design validation grade V3 and quality grade Q3 represent equipment designed and manufactured consistent with minimum industry practice. 

Included within ISO 17824 are normative annexes A and B specifying test methods for determining the collapse and burst strength of sand control screens. Informative annexes C, D, E, F, G and H include measurement criteria for sand control screen filter media, illustrations of the three types of sand control screens, and increased wire-wrap slot size inspection requirements.
