    摘要: A well screen can include multiple filter section ends, the filter section ends being displaced outward in response to expansion of the well screen, and a slurry delivery shunt conduit positioned circumferentially between the filter section ends. A method of delivering a slurry into a wellbore about a well screen can include positioning slurry delivery shunt conduits between multiple circumferentially spaced apart filter sections of the well screen, the filter sections radially outwardly displacing in a well, and flowing the slurry through the shunt conduits. A well system can include multiple well screens positioned in a wellbore, and shunt conduits which deliver a slurry into the wellbore about the well screens, the shunt conduits being positioned circumferentially between filter sections of the well screens.
