Claim Text:
1. A gravel pack apparatus for a borehole, comprising: a body having a body passage communicating from a heel to a toe and defining a first body port communicating the body passage with the borehole; an inner string movably deploying in the body passage and defining a first fluid pathway with a first outlet port, the first outlet port of the inner string in a first selective position in the body passage selectively sealing with the first body port and communicating slurry from the first fluid pathway through the first outlet port to the borehole; a first screen disposed on the body between the first body port and the toe and communicating the body passage with the borehole, the first screen for passing fluid returns of the slurry from the borehole into the body passage; and a bypass disposed on the body and communicating the body passage on a first side of the first body port to a second side of the first body port, the bypass for passing the fluid returns in the body passage past the first outlet port of the inner string when selectively sealed with the first body port, wherein the inner string defines a second fluid pathway in fluid isolation from the first fluid pathway, the second fluid pathway of the inner string in the first selective position being isolated from the bypass on the first side of the body port.
