  • Gravel pack systems, methods to flow fluid out of a gravel pack system, and methods to provide fluid flow during a gravel packing operation
    Patent number: 11927079
    Abstract: A gravel pack system has a heel section and a toe section that is downhole from the heel section. The system also includes a conveyance having an interior passageway for fluid flow to the toe section, a closing sleeve that forms an annulus with the conveyance, a shunt having a first section that provides a fluid flow entrance into the shunt, a second section that extends to the heel section along the gravel pack system, and one or more nozzles along the second section that provides fluid flow out of the gravel pack system at the heel section, and a shroud having a first section that is coupled to the closing sleeve and a second section that is coupled to the shunt, where the shroud and the conveyance form a second annulus.

  • Methods of preventing premature fracturing of a subterranean formation using a sheath
    Patent number: 8448705
    Abstract: A method of completing at least a portion of an open-hole wellbore comprises: positioning a sand control assembly in the portion of the open-hole wellbore, wherein the sand control assembly comprises a screen; positioning at least one conduit adjacent to the sand control assembly; positioning a sheath in the portion of the open-hole wellbore, wherein the sheath is a non-porous tubular, and wherein the sheath is positioned such that a sheath annulus exists between the inside wall of the sheath and the outside wall of at least a portion of both, the sand control assembly and the at least one conduit; and introducing a treatment fluid into the portion of the open-hole wellbore.
