Definitions
- Hydrocarbon producing formations typically have sand commingled with the hydrocarbons to be produced. For various reasons, it is not desirable to produce the commingled sand to the earth's surface. Thus, sand control completion techniques are used to prevent the production of sand.
- Gravel packing is one method for controlling sand production. Although there are variations, gravel packing usually involves placing a sand screen around the section of the production string containing the production inlets. This section of the production string is aligned with perforations. Gravel slurry, which is typically gravel particulates carried in a viscous transport fluid, is pumped through the tubing into the formation and the annulus between the sand screen and the casing or between the sand screen and the open hole. The deposited gravel holds the sand in place preventing the sand from flowing to the production tubing while allowing the production fluids to be produced therethrough.
- Gravel slurry which is typically gravel particulates carried in a viscous transport fluid
- flow control devices In multi-zone wells or in a well having multiple flow sections, flow control devices have been used to control fluid flow through orifices formed between the tubing bore and an annulus between the tubing and casing.
- the annulus is typically filled, which makes it difficult to position such flow control devices in the proximity of sand control equipment. Accordingly, the formation fluid must first flow generally radially through the sand control device before flowing to the flow control device.
- One option is to install the flow control device inside a tubing bore in the proximity of the production zone. However, this reduces the available flow area for production flow.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,337,808 discloses an apparatus where the screen wrapping is placed directly over and around the flow control device.

- U.S. Patent No. 5,865,251 discloses an isolation valve "adjacent" or “interior” of the screen assembly which covers the apertures of the valve.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,405,800 discloses an isolation valve that is positioned in the screen base pipe underneath the screen jacket.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,343,651 and U.S. Patent No. 6,446,729 disclose a flow control valve that is coupled to a screen assembly. It is not surrounded by and is offset from the screen wrapping. The valve is in fact not integral to the screen assembly but an added component which is hydraulically coupled to the screen and base pipe annulus to control flow into the main bore.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,464,006 discloses an apparatus having flow screens with flow closure members.
- the figures presented in U.S. Patent No. 6,464,006 illustrate a three-way sub system, but both ends of the isolation pipe are shown affixed to the screen assembly.

- Each screen assembly 110, 112 can include an outer tubular member 106, 108 disposed about a body or mandrel ("inner tubular member") 102, 104.
- the first assembly 110 can be the first outer tubular member 106 about the first inner tubular member 102
- the second assembly 112 can include the second outer tubular member 108 about the second inner tubular member 104.
- the outer tubular members 106, 108 can include a screen or particulate restricting member.
- the screen or particulate restricting member can be wire wrapped screens or any other known screen.
- one or more portions of the outer tubular member can be constituted by wire wrap screen.
- Each inner tubular member 102, 104 can be base pipe, production tubing, or any other common downhole tubular member.
- the body 102 (“first inner tubular member 102") can have an inner flowpath or internal bore 126 formed therethrough, and the second body 104 (“second inner tubular member 104”) can have an inner flowpath or internal bore 128 formed therethrough.
- a space or gap 114, 116 is formed between an outer diameter of each inner tubular member 102, 104 and the surrounding screen 106, 108.
- Each space or gap 114, 116 defines an outer flowpath about its respective inner tubular member 102, 104.
- a first flowpath or first space 114 is formed between the first inner tubular member 102 and the first screen 106.
- the second flowpath or second space 116 is formed between the second inner tubular member 104 and the second screen 108.
- the coupling tool 119 can include a first coupling flowpath 118, a second coupling flowpath 120, and a third coupling flowpath 122 formed therethrough.
- the first coupling flowpath 118 can be in fluid communication, and thus “couple” the first flowpath or space 114 to the second flowpath or space 116.
- the second coupling flowpath 120 can be in fluid communication, and thus “couple” the first inner flowpath 126 to the second inner flowpath 128.
- the third coupling flowpath 122 can be in fluid communication, and thus “couple” the first coupling flowpath 1 18 and the second coupling flowpath 120.
- the coupling tool 119 can further include a flow control device 124.
- the flow control device 124 allows the outer flowpaths 114, 1 16 to be selectively communicated with the inner flowpaths 126, 128.
- the flow control device 124 can be integrated into the coupling tool 119.
- the flow control device 124 can be a stand alone component that can be attached to the coupling tool 119.
- the flow control device 124 can be a sliding sleeve. An illustrative sliding sleeve can simply be a tubular member disposed within the annulus of the coupling tool 119.
- the flow control device 124 can be a sliding sleeve having one or more apertures or holes formed therethrough. In one or more embodiments, the flow control device 124 can be a remotely operated valve, or any other downhole flow control device.
- An illustrative flow control device 124 is described in U.S. Patent No. 6, 446,729.
- the use of the flow control device 124 with the coupling tool 119 can allow for flexibility in the design of the flow control device 124 without affecting the manufacturing and design of the sand screen assemblies 110, 112. Furthermore, by allowing the complexity of the flow control device 124 to be varied independent of the design of the sand screen assemblies 110, 112, various levels of modularity for the sand completion system 100 can be obtained.
- the first coupling flowpatih 118 is not in communication with the second coupling flowpath 120; however, the first flowpath or space 1 14 is in communication with the second flowpath or space 116, and the first inner flowpath 126 is in communication with the second inner flowpath 128. Furthermore, the flowpaths 114, 116, 118 can be in communication with the exterior of the screen assemblies 110, 112. However, the flowpaths 126, 128, 120 are prevented from communicating with the exterior of the sand screen assemblies 110, 112. [0034] In the open position, the first coupling flowpath 118 is in communication with the second coupling flowpath 120, and the third coupling flowpath 122, as depicted in Figure 2.
- each of the flowpaths 114, 116, 126, 128, 118, 122, 120 is in communication with the exterior of the screen assemblies 110, 112. Therefore, the inner flowpaths 126, 128 are in communication with the exterior of the sand screen assemblies 110, 112 when the second coupling flowpath 120 is in communication with the first coupling flowpath 118.

- the service string 500 can then be positioned to place gravel slurry 630 into the annulus 620 adjacent to the "lower" sand completion system 100.
- the gravel slurry 630 is placed in the annulus 620, it is driven within the portion of the annulus 620 adjacent to the second hydrocarbon bearing zone 610, and dehydrates.
- a fluid portion 632 such as clean carrier fluid
- gravel 364 from the gravel slurry 630 can be held within the annulus 620 by the sand screen assemblies 110, 112 of the "lower” sand completion system 100.
- the fluid portion 632 can migrate flow thorough the flowpaths 114, 116, 118 of the "lower” sand completion system 100, and can flow through the opened flow control devices 124 into the completion bore 405 adjacent to the "lower" hydrocarbon bearing zone 610.
- the fluid 505 can travel uphole as depicted in Figure 8.
- the placing of gravel slurry 630 can be stopped.
- the excess gravel slurry 900 can then be reversed out to the surface, as depicted in Figure 9.
- the service string 500 can close opened flow control devices 124 of the "lower" sand completion system 100 and the second port closure sleeve 432, thereby, isolating the "lower" hydrocarbon bearing zone 610.
- the service string 500 can actuate or "open” at least the lower flow control device 124 of the "upper" sand completion system 100 and the first port closure sleeve 430. Then the service string can be aligned with the port closure sleeve 430 using the position indicator 440. Gravel Slurry 630 can be pumped into the annulus 620 adjacent the "upper" hydrocarbon bearing zone 605. The gravel slurry can gather in the annulus 620.
- the fluid portion 632 can migrate through the sand screen assemblies 110, 1 12 and the flowpaths 114, 116, 118 of the "upper" sand completion system 100, and can flow through the opened flow control devices 124 into the completion bore 405 adjacent to the "upper" hydrocarbon bearing zone 605.
- the fluid portion 632 can travel uphole as depicted in Figure 10, and the gravel 634 is held in place by the screen assemblies 110, 112.
- the excess slurry 900 can be reversed out as depicted in Figure 11.
- the opened flow control devices 124 and the first port closure sleeve 430 can be closed completely isolating the annulus 620 adjacent to each hydrocarbon bearing zone 605, 610, and the service tool 500 can be removed, as depicted in Figure 12.
- the above described actions can be performed for each hydrocarbon bearing zone intersected by the wellbore 600.
- the flow control devices 124 can be selectively opened using slickline, wireline, coil tubing, or another conventional method to provide access to the hydrocarbon bearing zones 605, 610. In one or more embodiments, mechanical or magnetic interaction can be used to open the flow control devices 124.
- the flow control device 124 can be operated remotely.
- pressure or a control conduit disposed adjacent to the completion 400 can be used to operate the flow control devices 124.
- the flow control devices 124 can also be operated remotely during the gravel pack operation as described in U.S. Patent No. 6, 446,
- the present completion string and methods may be practiced in combination with one or more sets of components and/or service tools, including bridge plugs, flow valves, and other commonly used oil field tools.
- the term “attached” refers to both direct attachment and indirect attachment, such as when one or more tubulars or other downhole components are disposed between the “attached” components.
