Abstract
MazeFlo™ technology enables a sand control screen to self-mitigate mechanical damage and improve reliability in sandprone<br>well production. A self-mitigating screen uses redundant sand control screens and compartment baffles to restrict the<br>effects of any mechanical screen failure to a local compartment. The hydrocarbon flow continues intact through the<br>remaining undamaged screen compartments. This innovative, patented technology is being commercialized in collaboration<br>with a selected service company.
