A gravel packing assembly which may be utilized in a method to gravel pack a well through the tubing string. The gravel pack assembly includes a crossover assembly which facilitates the pumping of a gravel slurry into a wellbore, and the taking of the fluid return through the tubing string. A gravel pack screen will be coupled in the assembly beneath the crossover assembly to facilitate the conventional placement of the gravel pack. After the placement of gravel in the well, the crossover assembly may be removed from the well, leaving the screen in place with the gravel pack.
