Abstract

The present invention provides apparatus and methods for expanding an expandable sand screen (210) in the wellbore and then fracturing the wellbore.
In one aspect of the invention, an expandable sand screen includes a perforated inner pipe (240) and outer shroud (250). The outer shroud includes a plurality of longitudinal channels (260) that retain their general shape after the expandable sand screen is expanded. In the expanded state, the channels provide a fluid conduit along an area between the screen and the wall of the wellbore. In a subsequent fracturing operation, slurry travels along the conduits permitting communication of the fracturing slurry with hydrocarbon bearing formations.
