  • Patent number: 11708747
    Abstract: Provided, in one aspect, is a well system and a method for forming a well system. The well system, in one aspect, includes a main wellbore, the main wellbore having a main wellbore open hole section, and a lateral wellbore extending from the main wellbore, the lateral wellbore having a lateral wellbore open hole section. The well system, according to this aspect, further includes a main bore completion located within the main wellbore and a lateral bore completion located within the lateral wellbore, and a multilateral junction positioned at an intersection between the main wellbore open hole section of the main wellbore and the lateral wellbore open hole section of the lateral wellbore, the multilateral junction including a main bore leg forming a first pressure tight seal with the main bore completion and a lateral bore leg forming a second pressure tight seal with the lateral bore completion such that the main bore completion and the lateral bore completion are hydraulically isolated from one another.

  • Publication number: 20220372836
    Abstract: Provided, in one aspect, is an anchor for use with a downhole tool in a wellbore. The anchor, according to this aspect, may include a base pipe; and one or more expandable chambers positioned radially about the base pipe. The one or more expandable chambers may, in some aspects, be configured to move from a first collapsed state to a second activated state; and the one or more expandable chambers may be operable to handle at least 20.7 Bar of internal pressure in the second activated state to engage a wall of a wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20220106847
    Abstract: Provided, in one aspect, is an anchor for use with a downhole tool in a wellbore, a well system, and a method for anchoring a downhole tool within a wellbore. The anchor, according to this aspect, may include a base pipe, and two or more hydraulic activation chambers disposed radially about the base pipe, the two or more hydraulic activation chambers configured to move from a first collapsed state to a second activated state to engage with a wall of a wellbore and laterally and rotationally fix a downhole tool coupled to the base pipe within the wellbore.
