The multilateral deflection system includes a hole arranged in a ground surface having a main bore and an offset lateral. A latch in coupling is arranged in the main bore. A deflector assembly further includes a deflector body joined to deflector rails and deflector threads. A latch in sub is made up to the deflector body. A deflector profile is arranged in the main bore. A seal assembly is joined to a bottom side of the deflector body.

Methods and systems for producing hydrocarbons in a subterranean well with a completion system include landing an isolation valve completion within the subterranean well. The isolation valve completion is landed within an observation wellbore and downhole of a junction with a production wellbore. The isolation valve completion includes an isolation valve. A production tubing is delivered into the subterranean well. The production tubing has a downhole end located uphole of the junction with the production wellbore. An annulus defined between an outer diameter surface of the production tubing and an inner diameter surface of the subterranean well is sealed with a production packer that circumscribes the production tubing.

A method of plugging a formation fracture includes drilling, with a drill string configured to flow drilling fluid, a wellbore, where, at a downhole location, the drilling fluid is lost through a formation fracture. The method also includes deploying, through the drill string, a plugging assembly to the downhole location of the wellbore. The plugging assembly includes a flexible fiber sheet releasably coupled to a pumpable dart such that when the plugging assembly reaches the downhole location, the flexible fiber sheet is released from the dart to flow, with the drilling fluid, to the formation fracture to at least partially overlay the formation fracture. The method also includes adding, to the drilling fluid, lost circulation material configured to accumulate on a portion of the flexible fiber sheet to at least partially fluidically plug the formation fracture.

Provided is a multilateral leg bore, a multilateral junction, and a well system. The multilateral leg bore, in one aspect, includes a unitary housing having a first end and a second opposing end defining a length (L). In accordance with this aspect, the multilateral junction includes three or more bores formed in the housing and extending along the length (L).

Provided is a multilateral junction (MLT), a well system, and a method for forming a well system. The MLT, in one aspect, includes a y-block having a housing with a single first bore and second and third bores extending therein, the second and third bores defining second and third centerlines. The MLT, in this aspect, further includes a mainbore leg having a first mainbore leg end coupled to the second bore and a second opposing mainbore leg end, and a lateral bore leg having a first lateral bore leg end coupled to the third bore and a second opposing lateral bore leg end. In this aspect, the mainbore leg and the lateral bore leg are twisted with respect to the second and third bore such that a first plane taken through centerlines of the second opposing mainbore leg end and the second opposing lateral bore leg end is angled.

Provided is a method for accessing a well system. The method, in one aspect, includes placing a multilateral junction proximate an intersection between a main wellbore and a lateral wellbore, the multilateral junction including a y-block, a mainbore leg coupled to a second bore of the y-block and extending into the main wellbore, and a lateral bore leg coupled to a third bore of the y-block and extending into the lateral wellbore. The method, in one aspect, further includes selectively accessing at least one of the main wellbore or the lateral wellbore with a fracturing string through the y-block.

Provided is a y-block, a multilateral junction, and a method for forming a well system. The y-block, in one aspect, includes a housing having a first end and a second opposing end, and a single first bore extending into the housing from the first end, the single first bore defining a first centerline. The y-block according to this aspect further includes second and third separate bores extending into the housing and branching off from the single first bore, the second bore defining a second centerline and the third bore defining a third centerline, wherein the second and third centerlines are angled relative to one another.

Provided is a downhole tool, a y-block, a well system, and a method for forming a well system. The downhole tool, in one aspect, includes a bottom hole assembly (BHA) having an uphole end and a downhole end, and a shroud positioned around and proximate the downhole end of the BHA, the shroud operable to slide relative to the BHA. The downhole tool, in this aspect, may further include one or more shear features coupling the shroud to the downhole end of the BHA.

An example system for a well includes a tubing string including spoolable, flexible, coiled tubing to transport fluids within the well; a packer associated with the tubing string to provide an annular seal to a section of a wellbore of the well; a power generator associated with the tubing string to generate power for the system based on fluid flow within the well; a wireless communication device associated with the tubing string to exchange information with one or more components of the system; one or more sensors associated with the tubing string to sense one or more environmental conditions in the well; one or more processing devices associated with the tubing string to generate at least some of the information based on the one or more environmental conditions; and one or more inflow control valves to control a rate of fluid flow into the system.

A system and method to controlling fluid flow to/from multiple intervals in a lateral wellbore. The system and method can include a unitary multibranch inflow control (MIC) junction assembly (a primary passageway through a primary leg and a lateral passageway through a lateral leg) installed at an intersection of main and lateral wellbores. An upper energy transfer mechanism (ETM) can be mounted along the primary passageway, and control lines 100 can provide communication between the upper ETM 214 and lower completion assembly equipment. A lower ETM can be mounted along the lateral passageway, with the upper ETM in communication with the lower ETM via the control lines. A tubing string can be extended through the primary passageway to access lower completion assembly equipment. The upper ETM can communicate with a tubing string ETM to receive/transmit control, data, and/or power signals from/to lower completion equipment in the lateral wellbores.
