METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TOOL ORIENTATION AND POSITIONING AND PARTICULATE MATERIAL PROTECTION WITHIN A WELL CASING FOR PRODUCING HYDROCARBON BEARING FORMATIONS INCLUDING GAS HYDRATES

摘要

A method and system for tool orientation and positioning and particulate material protection within a well casing for production of hydrocarbons including methane gas from a gas hydrate including a shroud positioned within a production well casing adjacent a cylindrical production tubing screen to shield and isolate the screen from particulate material entrained within production fluid entering the well casing.
