Methods and apparatus to facilitate wet or dry control line connection for the downhole environment

摘要

A wet connect arrangement for communication beyond obstructions in a wellbore such as gravel packs and lateral junctions, among others, between a second tubular 14 received within a first tubular 12. A protector, in the form of a wear bushing 52, in a polished seal bore 52 of first tubular 12 is displaced axially upon engagement of the second tubular 14, enabling ports 26 located between seals 22 on the second tubular 14 to operatively connect to corresponding ports 18 in the first tubular 12.
