  • Isolating a multi-lateral well with a barrier
    Publication number: 20180223631
    Abstract: A completion apparatus is coupled to a first lateral well extending from a borehole. The first lateral well is completed. The completed first lateral well is isolated from the borehole with a first barrier that prevents fluids from flowing from the first lateral well into the borehole. The completion apparatus is decoupled from the first lateral well. The completion apparatus is coupled to a second lateral well extending from the borehole. The second lateral well is completed. The first barrier is opened to allow fluids to flow from the first lateral well into the borehole.

  • Completing long, deviated wells
    Patent number: 9309752
    Abstract: A buoyancy fluid is sealed in an interior central bore of a completion liner with a plug assembly in the interior central bore. The buoyancy fluid has a lower density than the fluid contained in the wellbore. The buoyancy fluid reduces the force, and thus friction, at the interface between the liner and the bottom of the wellbore while the completion liner is being run to final depth. When the buoyancy fluid is no longer needed, the plug assembly can be withdrawn uphole from the completion liner and to the surface.
