con-slot® SCREENS international GmbH is a modern and progressive company offering its services worl-wide to the fiel of Oil production and gas production/Injection of uncosolidated reservoirs.

Formation Link®'s main object is a new concept of Down Hole Completions for Oil/Gas Wells, such as vertical, deviated and horizontal, offering not only a perfect tool of Sand Control but also a link to the formation which simplifies the whole installation system and improves productivity.
Thus, the down hole well completions are significantly reduced in cost and technically improved to more safety, making the system very attractive to the industry. The main component of this system is an unconventional but very successful concept of Sand control Screen, allowing:

	reduction of borehole diameter and of screen, blank pipe and casing diameter without reducing the capacity of the well, consequently not only the material costs are reduced but also the cost for the mud system.
	reduction of the allowable beding radius, consequently the possibility of a much shorter 'kick-off", giving many advantages for multilateral installations ans also the pssibility of instaling the pump in artificial lift wells much closer to the formaton and therefore allowing mor more "head" and thus for more production
	high strength characteristics such as tensile, column and torsion, consequently no special care need to be taken during handling of the screens in comparison to handling of casing pipes and other installation components
	easy 100% clean-up procedures due to the tailor-made-to-the-formation structural design of the screen and due to the artificial collapsing of the unconsoliated formation to the screen by the formation link® stimulation tool, consequently increased return permeability from the formation and improvement of the drainage of the reservoir with higher productivity

con-slot® screens provide the inflow capacity based on the structural desgn of the screens. the design provides optimum production due to its favourable hydraulic design and higher permeability compared to all other screens offered for sand control. Not the open area, but the PERMEABILITY of the screen is a comparison parameter to the screen designs used in down hole completions for sand control.
