Abstract
A technique facilitates dehydration of gravel slurry around blank pipe sections of a completion having filters for receiving carrier fluid returns. A sand screen filter system may be assembled with a first filter, a second filter, and a blank pipe section extending between the first filter and the second filter. A fixed leak off tube is mounted to the sand screen filter system such that at least a portion of the fixed leak off tube overlaps the first filter. Additionally, a slidable leak off tube is slidably mounted to the sand screen filter system. The slidable leak off tube is oriented to enable the slidable leak off tube to be slid along the blank pipe section until secured in fluid communication with the fixed leak off tube.
