Description/Abstract A screen device is provided for use in a subterranean well and is carriable within the well on a tubular conduit.^The screen has an elongated outer housing with a plurality of flow passageways extending through the housing.^An inner perforable cylindrical mandrel with upper and lower ends has at least one of the ends securable with a conduit member of the tubular conduit.^The mandrel longitudinally extends through the interior of the housing and is secured against movement relative to the housing.^A central passageway in the mandrel communicates with the tubular conduit for transmission of fluid.^Prior to perforation of the mandrel, the screen device prevents fluid flow between the flow passageways and the central passageway of the mandrel.^Subsequent to perforation of the mandrel, the screen device permits transmission of fluid between the flow passageways, the central passageway and the tubular conduit.^The screen device is perforated by means of a conventional jet-producing perforation gun introduced into the well on an auxiliary conduit, such as a wireline, through the tubular conduit.^The screen device permits selective production of multi-lobes within one or more production zones in the well.
