Abstract
A technique facilitates formation of a gravel pack. Gravel slurry is delivered downhole at least in part along a transport conduit from one screen joint to the next. Downstream of a joint connection between two adjacent screen joints, gravel slurry from the transport conduit flows into a gravel slurry chamber. From the gravel slurry chamber, the gravel slurry flows into at least one packing conduit or into at least one packing conduit and at least one transport conduit. The packing conduits are used to discharge the gravel slurry for formation of a gravel pack in a wellbore annulus surrounding the gravel packing system, and the transport conduits are used to deliver the gravel slurry to downstream screen joints for discharge at a more distant location along the wellbore.
