## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools to select the most effective sand control screens for wellbore stability. By analyzing formation grain size distribution (GSD) and wellbore fluid dynamics, users can determine the ideal screen type, such as wire-wrap or premium screens, and calculate precise gauge openings. The tools evaluate operational risks like plugging and erosion to ensure long-term sand retention and well integrity.

## Tools

### calculate_opening_size
Calculates the ideal slot or gauge opening to ensure sand retention while balancing flow capacity

### evaluate_operational_risk
Assesses the risks of screen failure due to plugging or erosion based on wellbore fluid dynamics and grain characteristics

### generate_selection_summary
Consolidates all engineering inputs into a final selection report for the user

### get_screen_type
Determines the most appropriate category of screen based on the selected sand control method and reservoir stability

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What screen type should I use for a standalone method in a low stability formation?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a standalone method in a low stability formation, a premium screen is recommended to ensure high sand retention and erosion resistance.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the opening size for a formation with a d50 of 0.2mm and d10 of 0.05mm using a gravel pack method.
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommended gauge opening for these parameters is 0.15mm, providing a sufficient retention safety factor for the gravel pack.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the risks if I have a flow velocity of 5.0 m/s and high particle concentration with a mesh screen?
```

**Response:** 
```
With a flow velocity of 5.0 m/s and high particle concentration, a mesh screen carries a high risk of erosion and a medium risk of plugging.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the best screen type for my well?**
You can use the `get_screen_type` tool by providing the sand control method and the qualitative stability of the formation.

**Can this tool help prevent wellbore plugging?**
Yes, by using `calculate_opening_size` and `evaluate_operational_risk`, you can assess the risk of plugging and select an aperture that balances sand retention with flow capacity.

**What inputs are required for the risk assessment?**
To use `evaluate_operational_risk`, you need to provide the expected fluid flow velocity, the particle concentration, and the selected screen type.
