The operator constructs many wells that require active sand control for multiple zones in cased-hole environments with the option for zonal selectivity and the possibility of watered-out zones to be isolated through well intervention. The most frequently used tubing in these wells is 3½-in. tubing, which poses a selectivity challenge when used in the standard 9⅝-in. multizone single-trip (MZST) gravel-pack system.
