Abstract: A method of gravel packing a portion of a cased wellbore proximate perforations by using coiled tubing is disclosed. The portion of the wellbore containing perforations is isolated from the portion of the wellbore below the perforations. A connection apparatus is installed between a bottom hole assembly and the coiled tubing and this connection apparatus comprises a crossover tool. The bottom hole assembly is lowered into the wellbore using the coiled tubing until the bottom hole assembly is proximate the perforations. Then, a slurry comprising a gravel and a carrier fluid is pumpdown the coiled tubing and into the annulus between the coiled tubing and the casing. A second fluid which is compatible with the slurry is pumpdown the annulus between the coiled tubing and the casing while the slurry is above the connection apparatus between the bottom hole assembly and the coiled tubing. The second fluid and the slurry mixture reduce the slurry concentration prior to reaching the perforations.
