Segregated deployment of downhole valves for monitoring and control of multilateral wells

摘要

Segregated deployment of downhole valves for monitoring and control of multilateral wells. In a described embodiment, a well completion system includes at least two tubular strings. One tubular string includes a flow control device and sensor controlling and monitoring fluid flow into the tubular string from a zone intersected by a wellbore. Another tubular string with another flow control device and sensor controls and monitors fluid flow into that tubular string from another zone intersected by another wellbore. The two wellbores intersect. Each of the flow control devices is positioned in a respective one of the wellbores and has at least one line connected to the flow control device. The lines are installed in the wellbores without interruptions in the lines and without requiring connections to be made in the lines downhole.
