A system for gravel packing a production radial tube terminating in an open drillhead in electrically conductive oil bearing formation. An elongate perforating tube having spaced ports with electrically conductive perimeters connected to an electrical power source is passed to the forward end of the radial tube. Then an electrolyte solution is passed through the hollow interior of the perforating tube and out the ports to be directed against the tube while current is supplied to form spaced perforations in the tube. Then the perforating tool is withdrawn.

Gravel packing system for a production radial tube

A system for gravel packing a production radial tube terminating in an open drillhead in an oil bearing formation. The radial tube is perforated by an electrolytic perforation tool which is removed. A flexible permeable liner is passed into the radial tube and slurry is flowed through the liner and out the distal end to the radial tube back towards the well bore to the fill. Then, plug filters are placed at the proximal and distal ends of the radial tube which pass oil but not gravel, and the proximal end of the radial tube is severed, if desired.
