Abstract
The analysis of theoretical solutions and experimental data given in numerous literatures to justify the choice of the ratio of the size of gravel in relation to the size of formation sand showed that with the development of experimental methods and the accumulation of laboratory and field data, this ratio tends to decrease. When installing filters in an open hole, pressure losses at the interface between gravel and the formation play a significant role, and it should be noted that the greatest productivity and efficiency of the filter in an open hole is achieved when there is a packing around it, which can be created by crushing the sandy massif of the formation by cyclical changes debit. When choosing a filter design, along with the ability to provide them with a reliable hydraulic connection in the reservoir-filter system, the main task is also solved - to prevent sand flow into the well. The study of the conditions for the removal of sand particles through the flow sections in perforated, mesh and slotted filters during their operation both in homogeneous and in sands of different size, made it possible to recommend empirical dependences for determining the size of the holes. Keywords: porous medium; coarse fraction; sand; particle; well.
