A method and apparatus for installing a gravel pack completion which does not require the circulation of fluids during installation. the gravel is first placed or preset within the completion zone and then a well completion tool (e.g. a fluid-permeable liner) having an auger blade thereon is lowered and rotated into the preset gravel without circulating fluid through the tool. Since the auger blade mechanically displaces the gravel upward as the tool is moved into the preset gravel, there is no need to flow fluid under pressure to "fluidize" the gravel as is required in prior completions of this type.

Méthode et appareil servant à l'installation d'un massif filtrant, en vue de la complétion d'un puits, qui ne nécessite pas la circulation de fluides pendant l'installation. Le gravier est d'abord placé ou préinstallé dans la zone de complétion, ensuite, un outil de complétion de puits (par ex. une colonne perdue perméable aux fluides) muni d'une vis sans fin est descendu et mis en rotation dans le gravier préinstallé, sans l'apport de fluide en circulation dans l'outil. Étant donné que la vis sans fin déplace mécaniquement le gravier dans une direction ascendante au fur et à mesure que l'outil se déplace dans le gravier préinstallé, il n'est pas nécessaire d'ajouter un fluide sous pression afin de fluidiser le gravier comme c'est habituellement le cas pour des complétions de ce type.
