Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring a position of a service tool in a wellbore are provided. The service tool can have a sensor assembly coupled thereto and be positioned within the wellbore. The service tool can be moved within the wellbore. The distance travelled by the service tool in the wellbore can be measured with the sensor assembly. The position of the service tool in the wellbore can be determined by comparing the distance travelled to a stationary reference point.

Abstract: A screen assembly. The screen assembly may include a base pipe having an axial bore formed therethrough. An axial rod may be positioned radially-outward from the base pipe. A screen may be positioned radially-outward from the axial rod. A housing may be positioned radially-outward from the base pipe and axially adjacent to the axial rod, the screen, or both, and a first annulus may be formed between the housing and the base pipe. A first opening may be formed through the base pipe and radially-inward from the housing. A second opening may be formed through the base pipe and radially-inward from the housing, and the second opening may be axially offset from the first opening. A valve may be disposed within the first annulus and positioned axially between the first and second openings.

Abstract: A technique includes running a sand control completion system into a well, where the system includes at least one sensor, a gravel packing service tool and a sand control section. The sand control completion system is used to perform a gravel packing-related operation in the well in which a slurry is communicated downhole through the service tool to deposit gravel near the completion section. The technique includes regulating the gravel packing-related operation based at least in part on data acquired by said at least one sensor and communicated to an Earth surface of the well while the operation is being performed.
