SAND CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY

摘要

A technique facilitates a well operation employing at least one dehydration tube. The at least one dehydration tube is located along an exterior of a plurality of screen assemblies deployed in a wellbore and is fluidly coupled to a base pipe of at least one of the screen assemblies. The fluid coupling provides fluid access to the base pipe through a base pipe opening. Fluid flow along the at least one dehydration tube is controlled with a flow control mechanism. Additionally, an inflow of fluid from an exterior to an interior of select screen assemblies is separately controlled with an inflow control device associated with each select screen assembly.

1. A system for use in a well, comprising:
a sand control system having a screen assembly sized for deployment in a wellbore, the screen assembly comprising:
a base pipe;a filter media; andan inflow control device positioned to control inflow of fluid to an interior of the base pipe after filtering of the fluid via the filter media; and a dehydration system having a dehydration tube extending along the screen assembly externally of the filter media, the dehydration tube having a plurality of openings sized to filter gravel from inflowing gravel packing carrier fluid.
