Abstract: A sand control completion system comprises: (A) a first flow rate regulator, wherein the first flow rate regulator is positioned in a first interval of a wellbore, wherein the first flow rate regulator is part of a first sand control assembly; and (B) a second flow rate regulator, wherein the second flow rate regulator is positioned in a second interval of the wellbore, wherein the second flow rate regulator is part of a second sand control assembly, wherein a reservoir fluid is caused or allowed to simultaneously flow through the first and second flow rate regulators into a tubing string, wherein the reservoir fluid is commingled into a single fluid stream within the tubing string. A method of using the sand control completion system to simultaneously produce a reservoir fluid from more than one zone of a subterranean formation is also provided.

Abstract: A system for completing a well having casing (34) includes a perforating assembly (38) and a tubing string assembly (40). The tubing string assembly (40) including a pair of seal assemblies (56, 74), a production screen assembly (58) and a ported sleeve (66) positioned between the seal assemblies (56, 74) and a live annulus screen assembly (76) positioned uphole of the seal assemblies (56, 74). The perforating assembly (38) is operated to perforate the well and is then released downhole. The tubing string assembly (40) is then repositioned such that the production screen assembly (58) is located proximate the perforated interval (14) so that when the well is hydraulically fractured with a treatment slurry that is pumped through the ported sleeve (66), the formation reaction to the fracturing is monitored by obtaining pressure readings in the annulus in fluid communication with the live annulus screen assembly (76).
