Abstract

Bypass modules may be employed in a gravel packing operation to facilitate a sufficiently rapid dehydration of a gravel slurry in a wellbore. The bypass modules include a material which swells in response to contact between the material and fluid in a well such that flow through the bypass module may be prohibited once the gravel packing operation is complete such that production fluids may flow through screens and associated ICDs to enter an inner diameter of a completion string. The bypass modules may be disposed at a tee junction in a leak-off conduit, at an end portion of the leak-off conduit and/or independent of a leak-off conduit.
