Abstract
A gravel pack tool for use in a well including a base pipe selectively deployed in the well that defines an outer annulus between the base pipe and an inner wall of the well, a dissolvable plug in a side wall of the base pipe, and tubing positioned within the base pipe that is in selective communication with a source of a bead forming fluid. When the bead forming fluid flows through the tubular and into the well, compounds in the bead forming fluid react to form beads within the outer annulus. The beads collect along a screen that circumscribes the base pipe and define a gravel pack which through which formation fluid is directed prior to entering production tubing in the wellbore.
