  • Patent number: 7584795
    Abstract: A sealed branch wellbore transition joint. A method of completing a well having intersecting wellbores includes the steps of: positioning a diverter in a wellbore; diverting an assembly from the wellbore into another wellbore; and swelling a sealing material on the assembly, so that a seal is formed between the assembly and the diverter. A completion system for a well having intersecting wellbores includes a diverter positioned in a wellbore, an assembly extending laterally across the wellbore, and a sealing material on the assembly. The sealing material is swollen so that a seal is formed between the assembly and the diverter.

  • Publication number: 20070089875
    Abstract: A high pressure D-tube with enhanced through tube access for use in a well system. The well system includes the tube having an interior and a generally D-shaped exterior surface. An inner support structure spans the interior of the tube. The exterior surface may be formed on a single piece of material. The inner support structure may resist deformation of the tube due to pressure applied to the interior and/or exterior surface of the tube. The inner support structure may form at least a portion of the exterior surface of the tube.
