A method for completing a wellbore in a subsurface formation, the method comprising: providing a first sand screen assembly having one or more sand control segments (850; 914a-n; 1310); providing a first joint assembly (1000, 1100) comprising: a non-perforated base pipe, at least one transport conduit (1008a-1008f; 1108a-1108f) extending substantially along the non-perforated base pipe, and at least one packing conduit (1008g-1008i; 1108g-1108i) having a nozzle configured to release gravel packing slurry into an annular region between the non-perforated base pipe and the surrounding subsurface formation; providing a packer assembly (210', 210"; 300; 1320, 1340) comprising: at least one sealing element (1322, 1342), an inner mandrel (215; 610), and at least one transport conduit (1326, 1346) extending substantially along the inner mandrel; connecting the sand screen assembly, the first joint assembly, and the packer assembly in series; running the first sand screen assembly and connected first joint assembly and packer assembly into the wellbore; setting the at least one sealing element into engagement with the surrounding wellbore; injecting a gravel slurry into the wellbore in order to form a gravel pack below the packer assembly after the sealing element has been set; and further injecting gravel slurry into the wellbore in order to deposit a reserve of gravel packing material around the non-perforated base pipe above the sand screen assembly. providing a first sand screen assembly having one or more sand control segments (850; 914a-n; 1310); providing a first joint assembly (1000, 1100) comprising: a non-perforated base pipe, at least one transport conduit (1008a-1008f; 1108a-1108f) extending substantially along the non-perforated base pipe, and at least one packing conduit (1008g-1008i; 1108g-1108i) having a nozzle configured to release gravel packing slurry into an annular region between the non-perforated base pipe and the surrounding subsurface formation; a non-perforated base pipe, at least one transport conduit (1008a-1008f; 1108a-1108f) extending substantially along the non-perforated base pipe, and at least one packing conduit (1008g-1008i; 1108g-1108i) having a nozzle configured to release gravel packing slurry into an annular region between the non-perforated base pipe and the surrounding subsurface formation; providing a packer assembly (210', 210"; 300; 1320, 1340) comprising: at least one sealing element (1322, 1342), an inner mandrel (215; 610), and at least one transport conduit (1326, 1346) extending substantially along the inner mandrel; at least one sealing element (1322, 1342), an inner mandrel (215; 610), and at least one transport conduit (1326, 1346) extending substantially along the inner mandrel; connecting the sand screen assembly, the first joint assembly, and the packer assembly in series; running the first sand screen assembly and connected first joint assembly and packer assembly into the wellbore; setting the at least one sealing element into engagement with the surrounding wellbore; injecting a gravel slurry into the wellbore in order to form a gravel pack below the packer assembly after the sealing element has been set; and further injecting gravel slurry into the wellbore in order to deposit a reserve of gravel packing material around the non-perforated base pipe above the sand screen assembly.
