Apparatus and method for treating an interval of a wellbore

A method for treating an interval of a wellbore, the method comprising the steps of:

• disposing a sand control screen positioned within an outer tubular in the wellbore, the outer tubular and the sand control screen having a production pathway and a treatment fluid passageway formed therebetween;
• flowing a treatment fluid containing solids through the treatment fluid passageway such that the treatment fluid exits the treatment fluid passageway and enters a region between the outer tubular and the wellbore;
• depositing a first portion of the solids in the region between the outer tubular and the wellbore;
• and
• depositing a second portion of the solids in the production pathway.

A method for treating an interval of a wellbore, the method comprising the steps of:

• disposing a sand control screen positioned within an outer tubular in the wellbore, the outer tubular and the sand control screen having a production pathway and a treatment fluid passageway formed therebetween;
• injecting a treatment fluid into a primary path defined by the region between the outer tubular and the wellbore;
• diverting at least a first portion of the treatment fluid into a secondary path defined by the production pathway;
• and
• diverting at least a second portion of the treatment fluid into a tertiary path defined by the treatment fluid passageway.

An apparatus for treating an interval of a wellbore, the apparatus comprising:

• an outer tubular;
• a sand control screen disposed within the outer tubular;
• first and second treatment fluid passageways formed between the sand control screen and the outer tubular;
• and
• first and second production pathways formed between the sand control screen and the outer tubular, wherein, when the apparatus is in an operable position, the region between the outer tubular and the wellbore serves as a primary path for delivery of a treatment fluid, the production pathways serve as independent secondary paths for delivery of the treatment fluid and the treatment fluid passageways serve as independent tertiary paths for delivery of the treatment fluid.
