Abstract
A downhole tool includes an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member. The outer tubular member may have one or more screens coupled thereto, a packer coupled thereto, and a shunt tube isolation valve coupled thereto. A first sleeve may be coupled to the packer and move from a first position to a second position. The packer may actuate into a set state when the first sleeve is moved to the second position, and the packer may isolate first and second portions of an annulus from one another when in the set state. A shunt tube may be coupled to the packer and provide a path of fluid communication from the first portion of the annulus, through the packer, and to the second portion of the annulus when the packer is in the set state.
