摘要

A SAND CONTROL SCREEN ASSEMBLY (100) HAVING CONTROL LINE CAPTURE CAPABILITY IS OPERABLE FOR USE IN A SUBTERRANEAN WELLBORE. THE SAND CONTROL SCREEN ASSEMBLY INCLUDES A BASE PIPE (102) HAVING A SCREEN JACKET (106) POSITIONED THEREAROUND FOR PREVENTING THE FLOW OF PARTICULATE MATERIAL OF A PREDETERMINED SIZE THERETHROUGH AND ALLOWING THE FLOW OF PRODUCTION FLUIDS THERETHROUGH. THE SAND CONTROL SCREEN ASSEMBLY ALSO INCLUDES A CONTROL LINE CAPTURE ASSEMBLY (112). THE CONTROL LINE CAPTURE ASSEMBLY INCLUDES AN AXIALLY EXTENDING FLANGE (114) THAT COUPLES TO THE SCREEN JACKET AND IS OPERABLE TO PROTECT THE CONTROL LINE (146) DURING INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE SAND CONTROL SCREEN IN THE WELLBORE. THE CONTROL LINE CAPTURE ASSEMBLY ALSO INCLUDES AN AXIALLY EXTENDING SPRING CHANNEL (134) THAT COUPLES TO THE FLANGE. THE CHANNEL IS OPERABLE TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE CONTROL LINE DURING INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE SAND CONTROL SCREEN IN THE WELLBORE.
