Abstract
A well fluid particle screen assembly includes a base pipe having first and second pipe segments. First and second sets of perforations are located in sidewalls of the first and second pipe segments. First and second screens are mounted around the first and second pipe segments. A second pipe segment valve mounted to the second pipe segment has a closed position blocking well fluid flow through the second set of perforations. The second pipe segment valve has a pressure area acted on by a well fluid pressure differential. When reaching a threshold, the pressure differential causes the second pipe segment valve to move from the closed position to an open position. A retainer retains the second pipe segment valve in the closed position until the threshold is reached.
