ABSTRACT:
A technique that is usable with a subterranean well includes communicating a slurry through a shunt flow path and operating a control device to isolate slurry from being communicated to an ancillary flow path. The system may include a shunt tube and a diverter. The shunt tube is adapted to communicate a slurry flow within the well to form a gravel pack. The diverter is located in a passageway of the shunt tube to divert at least part of the flow. A slurry may be communicated through the shunt flow path, and a control device may be operated to isolate the slurry from being communicated to the ancillary flow path.
