Abstract
Sand control screen assemblies can include one or more erosion-resistant modules. One sand control screen assembly includes a base pipe defining one or more flow ports that provide fluid communication into an interior of the base pipe, a well screen arranged about the base pipe and in fluid communication with the one or more flow ports via a flow path extending between the well screen and the one or more flow ports, and an erosion module arranged within the flow path and comprising an erosion-resistant material, the erosion-resistant material being configured to filter a fluid prior to the fluid entering the interior of the base pipe.
