METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF MULTILATERAL WELLS

摘要

A method and apparatus for selectively producing fluids from multiple later al wellbores that extend from a central wellbore. The apparatus comprises a flu id flow assembly (24) with a selectively openable and adjustable flow control valve in communication with a production tubing (20), located in the central wellbore (10) between packers (32), and a lateral wellbore (12), and a selectively openabl e access door (30) located adjacent the lateral wellbore (12) allowing and preventing service tool entry into the lateral wellbore. The valve and door (30) are individually controll ed from the earth's surface.
