Exploiting oil and gas reservoirs with more than one well branch, or lateral, is a viable means of improving productivity and recovery efficiency while reducing overall development cost. No longer an emerging new technology, these multilateral completions are an essential well-construction tool.
This Web article summarizes operations using RapidExclude, RapidConnect and RapidSeal
junction technologies for multilateral wells. It presents installation
procedures and case histories from Venezuela, Nigeria and Indonesia
using static and interactive graphics, and animations. We also review
multilateral junction classifications and reservoir applications.
