Claim Text:
1. A gravel pack-cementing apparatus for a borehole, the apparatus comprising: a body being deployable in the borehole and having a body passage, a toe, and a heel, the body defining at least one gravel pack port toward the toe, a returns port toward the heel, and a cementing port between the at least one gravel pack port and the returns port, the body having at least one screen disposed between the at least one gravel pack port and the cementing port; and an inner string being movably deployable in the body passage and defining a string passage with at least one outlet port, the inner string moved to a first selective condition in the body passage sealing the at least one outlet port with the at least one gravel pack port and communicating gravel pack slurry from the string passage to the borehole from the at least one gravel pack port, the at least one screen receiving gravel pack returns as the gravel pack slurry travels in the borehole toward the heel and communicating the gravel pack returns from the borehole to the body passage, and the inner string moved to a second selective condition sealing the at least one outlet port with the cementing port and communicating cementing slurry from the string passage to the borehole from the at least one cementing port, the returns port receiving cementing returns as the cementing slurry travels in the borehole toward the heel and communicating the cementing returns from the borehole to the body passage.
