Zusammenfassung:	A sand control completion ( 100 ) for installation in a wellbore ( 102 ) includes first and second packers ( 114, 116 ) that define a first zone ( 110 ) in the wellbore ( 102 ). A production tubing ( 120 ) extends substantially through the first zone ( 110 ). Positioned between the first and second packers ( 114, 116 ) are a sand control screen ( 130 ), an inflow control valve ( 122 ) and a crossover valve ( 126 ). The sand control screen forms a first annulus ( 152 ) with the production tubing ( 120 ) and a second annulus with the wellbore ( 102 ). The inflow control valve ( 122 ) is operable to selectively allow and prevent fluid communication between the first annulus ( 152 ) and the interior of the production tubing ( 120 ). The crossover valve ( 126 ) is operable to selectively allow and prevent fluid communication between the production tubing ( 120 ) and the second annulus.
