Abstract

Systems and methods for downhole gravel packing operations. The systems include a pressure activated fluid diverter and a plurality of inflow control devices attached to the pressure activated fluid diverter to form a section of a string. The pressure activated fluid diverter has a flow performance curve defined by: DP=AQ+BQ+CQ, where DP is the differential pressure across the pressure activated fluid diverter in psi and Q is the flow rate through the pressure activated fluid diverter in bpm, with a fluid passing therethrough being at room temperature, having a fluid density of 9.2 ppg, and a fluid viscosity of 1 cps, the flow performance curve of the pressure activated fluid diverter is equal to or below a maximum flow performance curve defined by A=0, B=313.43, C=−1.715.
