Abstract
A method and system are described for communicating within a system, which may be along tubular members and used during gravel pack operations. The method includes constructing a communication network and installing the communication nodes along the gravel pack system. The communication nodes are used to monitor the formation of the gravel pack for voids or gaps during the gravel pack operations. Once the gravel pack is installed, the gravel pack operations may be used for hydrocarbon operations, such as hydrocarbon exploration, hydrocarbon development, and/or hydrocarbon production.
