Drilling Gravel and Well Filter Gravel
Drilling gravel, also described as well filter gravel, is selected for the gravel pack surrounding a well screen. Its role and suitable grain range depend on the formation, screen opening and technical well design.
What should be specified?
- Required grain-size range and acceptable distribution.
- Cleanliness and washed or screened product requirement.
- Well-screen slot size and formation information.
- Estimated quantity, delivery destination and packaging preference.
- Any project specification or laboratory requirement.
Why project data matters
A generic size recommendation cannot replace the design criteria of the well. The selected gravel must be evaluated together with the geological formation and screen specification. Faba Stone requests project inputs before confirming a suitable product option.

Frequently asked questions
Is drilling gravel the same as ordinary crushed aggregate?
Not necessarily. Well filter applications require attention to grain distribution, cleanliness and compatibility with the screen and formation.
Can one standard size be used for every well?
No. The correct selection depends on project-specific technical data.
Which documents should be shared?
Share the grading requirement, screen details, formation information, quantity and destination whenever available.
