Abstract

A well bore system comprising: a well bore ( 110 ); a tubular ( 130 ) disposed within the well bore ( 110 ), wherein the tubular ( 130 ) and the well bore ( 110 ) define an annulus; a first conduit ( 140 ) disposed within the tubular ( 130 ); and a second conduit ( 160 ) disposed within the annulus and associated methods.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A well bore system, comprising: a well bore penetrating a formation; a casing lining the well bore, said casing comprising a plurality of perforations; a tubular disposed within the casing, wherein the tubular and casing define an annulus; a first conduit disposed within the tubular; and a second conduit disposed within the annulus wherein at least one of said first conduit and said second conduit extends to below the plurality of perforations. 
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , wherein the first conduit comprises one or more branches. 
     
     
         4 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , wherein the first conduit comprises one or more check valves. 
     
     
         5 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , wherein the second conduit comprises one or more branches. 
     
     
         6 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , wherein the first conduit comprises one or more branches and the second conduit comprises one or more branches. 
     
     
         7 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more screens. 
     
     
         8 . The well bore system of  claim 7 , wherein the first conduit comprises one or more openings and the one or more openings are adjacent to the one or more screens. 
     
     
         9 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more gravel packs. 
     
     
         10 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , further comprising an injection port. 
     
     
         11 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , wherein the first conduit and the second conduit are fluidly connected to a single flow line. 
     
     
         12 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , wherein the first conduit and the second conduit are fluidly connected to separate flow lines. 
     
     
         13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , wherein the second conduit comprises one or more openings and the one or more openings are adjacent to the one or more perforations. 
     
     
         15 . A method comprising: providing a well bore system, wherein the well bore system comprises a well bore penetrating a formation; a casing lining the well bore, said casing comprising a plurality of perforations; a tubular disposed within the casing, wherein the tubular and the casing define an annulus; a first conduit disposed within the tubular; and a second conduit disposed within the annulus wherein at least one of said first conduit and said second conduit extends to below the plurality of perforations; and injecting water into the well bore system through at least one of the first and second conduits. 
     
     
         16 . (canceled) 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein a portion of the annulus and/or the tubular is filled with formation sand. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising allowing formation sand to enter into at least one of the annulus and the tubular. 
     
     
         19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein injecting water into the well bore system comprises injecting water into at least one of the first conduit and the second conduit. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the well bore system is a waterflood injection well. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the plurality of perforations are in a zone of unconsolidated sand in the formation. 
     
     
         23 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , wherein the well bore system is a waterflood injection well. 
     
     
         24 . The well bore system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of perforations are in a zone of unconsolidated sand in the formation.
