The authors propose a supplementary method for modelling seepage flow around a deep drilled well screen. The study applies 3D numerical modelling (FEM) in order to provide an in-depth analysis of the seepage process. The analysis of flow parameters (flux distribution q(x, t) and pressure distribution p) was conducted using the ZSoil.PC software system. The analysis indicates that the shape of perforation is of secondary importance during deep bore well screen selection.
