13. A method for use in a well, comprising:
providing a pipe string including:
an open hole gravel pack system having a gravel packer;
a sand screen assembly having a plurality of sand screens;
a hydraulic pressure actuated open hole packer; and
a pressure pulse activated device including:
a valve;
a valve actuation device that is capable of being remotely activated via pressure pulses; and
an indexer mechanism movable between a first position and a second position;
running the pipe string downhole in a single trip;
applying a first pressure pulse to the valve actuation device to move the indexer mechanism to the first position and actuate the gravel packer;
applying a second pressure pulse to the valve actuation device to move the indexer mechanism to the second position and actuate the hydraulic pressure actuated open hole packer to enable a gravel packing operation; and
finishing the gravel packing operation around the plurality of sand screens.
