A shape memory material element configuration including a shape memory material element, and a capillary line extending to the element and positioned to apply an activation fluid to the element.

A system includes an outer completion string, an inner service string configured to connect within the outer completion string, and an upper completion. The outer completion string includes at least one isolation packer, a sand control assembly and a gravel pack extension disposed uphole of a washdown shoe in a bottom-most well zone. In a top well zone, the outer completion string includes a latch profile, a female inductive coupler, a gravel pack packer, and a sand control assembly and a gravel pack extension disposed downhole of the gravel pack packer. The inner service string includes, among other components, an inner concentric string that is concentrically arranged within a workstring creating an inner-annulus between the workstring and the inner concentric string. The upper completion includes a male inductive coupler that is configured to connect with the female inductive coupler of the outer completion string.

Provided is a multilateral junction, a well system, and a method. The multilateral junction, in at least one aspect, includes a mainbore leg having a first mainbore leg end and a second opposing mainbore leg end, as well as a lateral bore leg having a first lateral bore leg end and a second opposing lateral bore leg end. The multilateral junction, according to this aspect, further includes a lateral locating assembly coupled to the second opposing lateral bore leg end, the lateral locating assembly including: a tubular; and a bendable deflection tip coupled to the tubular, the bendable deflection tip configured to move between a straight position and a bent position upon the application of fluid pressure thereto.

A filter assembly can include a filter element and a fluid inlet for fluid to flow through the filter element. The filter assembly can include bypass ports that are in a closed position from bypass port plugs until the filter screen becomes sufficiently clogged such that the fluid is restricted or prevented from flowing through the filter screen, which causes pressure to build up within the filter assembly. The increase in pressure can cause the bypass port plug to open the bypass ports such that fluid can flow through the bypass ports. The filter assembly can include a debris sleeve that partially or wholly surrounds the filter screen.

A sand control screen assembly includes a base pipe having openings through its thickness, and a mesh layer having mesh material sections coupled to safe edges, or connectors, for connecting sections together. The safe edges include areas of thinning to provide flex joints that yield when exposed to high stresses. The mesh layer may be a drainage layer or a filter medium of the sand control screen assembly.

A multi-functional well completion apparatus and method of operation thereof that offers the ability, in a single trip and with limited running tool manipulation, to perform downhole completion operations, such as gravel pack operations or sand control frac or other fluid stimulation operations is described. The well completion tool has multiple functions or operational positions by using a self-closing time delay valve without the need of service tools, thereby saving rig time, reducing operating costs and operational risks associated with tripping service tools into and out of a wellbore.
