Abstract (en)
The invention provides an apparatus and method for a sand control completion in a wellbore. The apparatus has a body comprising a swellable material configured to surround a wellbore tubular which defines a primary flow path for wellbore fluids. The body is also configured to surround at least one secondary flow path disposed externally of the wellbore tubular. The secondary flow path is configured for a carrier fluid containing particulate matter for a gravel pack. The body also comprises a longitudinal discontinuity which permits a radial opening to be formed on the body, through which the body is operable to be applied to the tubular.
