Patent number: 7090022Abstract: A sealed multilateral junction system provides fluid isolation between intersecting wellbores in a subterranean well. In a described embodiment, a method of forming a wellbore junction includes the steps of sealing a tubular string in a branch wellbore to a tubular structure in a parent wellbore. The tubular string may be secured to the tubular structure utilizing a flange which is larger in size than a window formed in the tubular structure. The flange may be sealed to the tubular structure about the window by a metal to metal seal or by adhering the flange to the tubular structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Ray C. Smith, Terry A. Schroter

Publication number: 20050121190Abstract: Segregated deployment of downhole valves for monitoring and control of multilateral wells. In a described embodiment, a well completion system includes at least two tubular strings. One tubular string includes a flow control device and sensor controlling and monitoring fluid flow into the tubular string from a zone intersected by a wellbore. Another tubular string with another flow control device and sensor controls and monitors fluid flow into that tubular string from another zone intersected by another wellbore. The two wellbores intersect. Each of the flow control devices is positioned in a respective one of the wellbores and has at least one line connected to the flow control device. The lines are installed in the wellbores without interruptions in the lines and without requiring connections to be made in the lines downhole.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2003Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventors: James Oberkircher, Terry Schroter
