Method and apparatus for completing a non-vertical portion of a subterranean well bore

摘要: A method and apparatus for effecting the completion of non-vertical, including horizontally disposed, portions a deviated well bore traversing production formation. To facilitate insertion gravel packing tool string through curved portion bore, stabilizer elements are maintained in radially retracted position then operated to engage after is run-in. An anti-rotation may be incorporated connecting work left hand threads conventionally provided on conventional packer order permit rotation entire passage bore. Two modifications disclosed, one employing single cross-over located at top end plurality serially connected screens. In modification, sections, stabilizers, screens, sleeve valve housing together inserted by separate tubular initially positioned adjacent lowermost accomplish screens moved next successively effect all sections.
