A method and an assembly for drilling and completing a wellbore in an underbalanced condition. The wellbore is drilled with coiled tubing through a mechanically competent formation into a poorly consolidated producing formation. The coiled tubing is run from a bottom hole location to a first uphole location uphole from the bottom hole location. A permeable proppant is pumped through the coiled tubing into the wellbore at the first uphole location. The coiled tubing is pulled, while pumping the permeable proppant through the coiled tubing into the wellbore, from the first uphole location to a second uphole location uphole from the first uphole location. Pumping the permeable proppant through the coiled tubing is stopped. The coiled tubing is removed from wellbore. A mesh plug is coupled to the coiled tubing and installed at the second uphole location in the mechanically competent formation.
A method of drilling and completing a wellbore with a coiled tubing assembly, the method comprising:
A wellbore completion assembly, the wellbore completion assembly configured to be positioned in a wellbore system comprising a lateral wellbore extending from a main wellbore, the lateral wellbore extending from a bottom hole location in a poorly consolidated producing formation to a first location in a mechanically competent formation uphole from the poorly consolidated producing formation, the wellbore completion assembly comprising:
