Abstract
A tool includes a mandrel and at least one gate. The mandrel includes a bore, and the mandrel is able to connect in-line with at least one sand control device of a bottom hole assembly such that the mandrel is coaxial with the at least one sand control device. The mandrel also includes a flow path configuration, such as, at least one flow path connecting the at least one sand control device to the bore, at least one flow path connecting the bore to at least two sand control devices, and at least one flow path connecting the bore to the at least one sand control device and to another device of the bottom hole assembly. The at least one gate has an initial position, and the at least one gate is configured to move from the initial position into a different position to control fluid flow.
