<p>A method for completing a well comprises forming a lateral wellbore extending laterally from a primary wellbore so as to define a junction between the primary wellbore and the lateral wellbore, preventing fluid flow between the lateral wellbore and the primary wellbore, and then permitting fluid flow between the lateral wellbore and the primary wellbore. The method may further comprise installing completion infrastructure in the primary wellbore in the region of the junction between the step of preventing fluid flow between the lateral wellbore and the primary wellbore and the step of permitting fluid flow between the lateral wellbore and the primary wellbore. The method may be used, in particular though not exclusively, for completion of an oil or gas well for the extraction of hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation.</p> |
