Abstract:
1. A completion and production method for a borehole, comprising: running in at least one pair of spaced packers on a string having at least one port between the packers for flow communication into an annular space between said packers and then radially in said annular space toward said string into said at least one port when a zone is placed in production; setting the packers in the borehole to define the zone between the packers; fracturing the zone with pressure pumping a slurry; placing the zone on production after said fracturing; accumulating slurry solids or formation produced solids from the produced zone in said annular space adjacent one of said spaced packers that impedes said production flow in said annular space in reaching said at least one port; providing a bypass passage outside said string and within said annular space along a portion of said string without wall openings for fluid to flow into said annular space and then substantially parallel to said string through said bypass passage from the fractures previously created, said passage comprising a first passage end adjacent said solids and a second passage end outside of said accumulated solids in said annular space and adjacent another portion of said string without wall openings, whereupon exiting said second end said fluid flow continuing substantially parallel to said string into said annular space toward said at least one port while experiencing reduced resistance to flow in said bypass passage as compared to flowing in said annular space through slurry solids or formation produced solids that accumulated by said packer in said annular space.
