Improved methods and apparatus for completing an unconsolidated subterranean zone penetrated by a well bore are provided. The methods basically comprise the steps of placing a slotted liner having an internal sand screen disposed therein with dividers extending between the screen and liner, isolating the slotted liner and the well bore in the zone and injecting particulate material into flow paths formed by the dividers between the sand screen and the slotted liner and into the annulus between the slotted liner and the well bore to thereby form packs of particulate material therein to prevent the migration of fines and sand with produced fluids.

An apparatus and method for gravel packing an interval of a wellbore comprises an outer tubular ( ), which forms a first annulus with the wellbore, and an inner tubular ( ) disposed within the outer tubular ( ) forming a second annulus therebetween. Within the second annulus is an axially extending production pathway ( ) and an axially extending slurry passageway ( ), which is defined between a channel ( ) and the inner tubular ( ). The outer tubular ( ) has outlets ( ) that are substantially aligned with outlets ( ) of the channel ( ). The portions of both the outer and inner tubulars ( ) adjacent the production pathway ( ) have openings ( ). When a fluid slurry containing gravel is injected through the slurry passageway ( ), the fluid slurry exits through the outlets ( ) leaving gravel in the first annulus, thereby gravel packing the interval.

A multi-zone packing system having unique features that allow for remote operation, thereby eliminating the need to raise and lower a work string and crossover tool to various zones of interest during a frac pack, gravel pack or related completion procedure. The squeeze pack system has a crossover tool or port collocated with each zone of interest and remotely operated closing devices to allow for the setting of each packer and the packing job to be performed with minimal or no movement of the work string.

A method and apparatus for fracturing a formation or gravel packing a borehole extending through an unconsolidated subterranean zone in a formation includes a screen assembly having a length adapted for disposal adjacent the unconsolidated subterranean zone and includes a plurality of screens mounted on a base member with adjacent base members being connected by a sub having an aperture in the wall thereof. A flow-control service assembly is disposed within the bore of the screen assembly and includes an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member. The outer tubular member includes a plurality of ports that communicate with the apertures in the screen assembly. The apertures in the screen assembly are disposed along the length of screen assembly at predetermined intervals. The inner tubular member and outer tubular member form an inner annulus, the outer tubular member and screen assembly form a medial annulus, and the screen assembly forms an outer annulus with the wall of the borehole. Barriers are placed around the ports on the outer tubular member to prevent the formation of gravel bridges across the inner annulus. The inner annulus provides alternative flow paths around the ports upon the ports becoming closed to fluid flow such as by bridges. In operation, fluids, such as fracing fluids or a gravel slurry, is pumped down the inner annulus, through the ports in the outer tubular member and apertures in the screen assembly and into the outer annulus prior to passing through the perforations into the formation. Return fluid may pass through the screens, through the medial annulus and into the flowbore of the inner tubular member to flow to the surface. The fluid flowing through the inner annulus passes through the ports and apertures into the outer annulus substantially uniformly along the length of the screen assembly thereby creating fractures uniformly along the unconsolidated subterranean zone from top to bottom.

An apparatus () and method for gravel packing an interval of a wellbore is disclosed. The apparatus () comprises a sand control screen () that is positioned within the wellbore and a tube and manifold system () positioned between the sand control screen () and the wellbore. The tube and manifold system () delivers a fluid slurry to a plurality of levels within the interval when the apparatus () is in an operable position. The tubes () of the tube and manifold system () have first and second ends which are open such that the fluid slurry may enter one end, travel through the entire length of the tube () and exit the other end. The manifolds () of the tube and manifold system () each have at least one exit port () for the discharge of the fluid slurry from the tube and manifold system ().

A screen assembly () comprises a base pipe () having perforated and nonperforated sections (), ribs () circumferentially spaced therearound and a filter medium () positioned around the ribs () having voids () therethrough. The screen assembly () includes a slurry passageway () defined by the nonperforated section () of the base pipe (), two of the ribs () and the portion () of the filter medium () that is circumferentially aligned with the nonperforated section (). This portion () of the filter medium () has a filler material () disposed within the voids () to create a fluid tight seal for a fluid slurry. The fluid slurry is discharged from the screen assembly () to a plurality of levels of the interval through exit ports () in a plurality of manifolds () when the screen assembly () is in an operable position.
