Integrated sand control completion system and method

A method for providing a sandface completion in a wellbore, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an assembled integrated sandface completion tool having a casing section, at least one explosive charge carried by a wall of the casing section and a screen assembly connected within the casing section forming a screen-casing annulus and having openings formed along a portion thereof;
• positioning the integrated sandface completion tool in the weilbore;
• detonating the at least one explosive charge;
• and
• packing the screen-casing annulus with a material.

A method for providing a sandface completion in a wellbore, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an assembled integrated sandface completion tool having a casing section with an elongated casing wall and a top adapter, a plurality of explosive charges carried by the casing wall, a firing head carried by the top adapter, the firing head operationally connected to the plurality of explosive charges, a screen assembly connected within the casing section forming an elongated screen-casing annulus, the screen assembly including openings formed along a portion thereof and a port formed through the screen assembly in selective communication with the screen-casing annulus;
• positioning the assembled integrated sandface completion tool in the wellbore;
• cementing the assembled integrated sandface completion tool in the wellbore;
• running a service string into the assembled integrated sandface completion tool;
• detonating the explosive charges;
• opening the port;
• packing the screen-casing annulus with a material;
• closing the port;
• and
• pulling the service string out of the wellbore.
