SELECTIVE RE-ENTRY TOOL FOR MULTIPLE TUBING COMPLETIONS AND METHOD OF USING

摘要

A selective re-entry tool (46) is provided that allows an operator at the earth's surface to perform intervention operations in one or more completion strings (10) by allowing remote discrimination and orientation of a tool string (44) to a target location in a single comingling completion string (20). The selective re-entry tool (46) may include a carrier body (48) having a navigation port (50) extending longitudinally therethrough, and an orienting key (60) movably connected to the carrier body (48) and releasably engageable with a discriminator groove (70) in a tubing string (20) to align the navigation port (50) with a predetermined one of a plurality of branch tubings (26, 28) in the tubing string (20). The re-entry tool (46) may further include a locking dog (54) movably connected to the carrier body (48) and releasably engageable with a locking recess (54) in the tubing string (20) to prevent rotation of the carrier body (48) after the navigation port (50) has been aligned with the predetermined one of the plurality of branch tubings (26, 28).
