Appl. No.:

13/485563

Inventors:

Mark E. Ramey - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 43/04

US Classification:

166278

Abstract:

A lateral is gravel packed without a junction in place in a single trip into the wellbore. A disconnect is provided between the isolation packer in the lateral and a main bore packer. The inner string assembly in the gravel packing completion releases a disconnect with a shift tool and then releases the main bore packer so that the inner string assembly takes out the main bore packer and the upper portion of the disconnect when pulling out of the hole. A junction is then placed into the main and lateral legs with a packer having a seal bore into which the production string is sealingly stabbed to produce out of the main bore and/or the just completed lateral.

Abstract:

A managed pressure drilling (MPD) system including a work string including tubulars having an internal flow path. The work string supports a liner float. A liner hanger running tool is coupled to the work string uphole of the liner float. An MPD sub is coupled to the work string and is operable to close off the internal flow path to fluid pressure passing uphole from the liner float in a first position and opens the internal flow path to fluid pressure after the liner string reaches a target depth. The MPD sub includes a housing having a rotatable ball valve including a ball. A ball seat is arranged between the rotatable ball valve and the downhole end, and a ball engagement member arranged between the rotatable ball valve and the uphole end. The ball engagement member includes a seal component that engages the ball portion.
