Zusammenfassung:A tubular for reservoir fines control includes a body having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a flow path. A plurality of openings is formed in the body connecting the outer surface and the flow path. A pre-formed member including a material mesh is overlaid onto the outer surface. The material mesh is formed from a material swellable upon exposure to a selected fluid introduced into a wellbore. The material mesh has a selected porosity allowing methane to pass into the flow path while preventing passage of fines.
