摘要: A method for gravel packing a well penetrating an unconsolidated or poorly consolidated subterranean oil gas reservoir. The employs borehole casing with perforation tunnels fluid communication between the and substantial portion of sand screen is located inside in juxtaposition forming annulus screen. One more conduits are positioned coaxially adjacent exterior openings to provide conduit slurry injected down through until filled gravel. If injection forms bridge any being packed thereby plugging screen, will continue flow into below completely casing. reservoir then produced desired, may be up accomplish complete packing. also applicable placing packs open-hole wellbore
