Abstract

A lateral wellbore completion apparatus may include a flow-through deflector having a deflector face and a junction string that includes a junction block cooperative to mate with the deflector face, a downhole device, and an inductive coupler electrically connected to the downhole device. A method may include anchoring the deflector in a main bore, making-up at the drilling surface a junction string that includes a junction block, a completion string section having a downhole device, and a secondary inductive coupler electrically connected to the downhole device, running the junction string into the main bore, deflecting the completion string section into the lateral bore, and landing the junction block on the deflector face thereby communicatively coupling the secondary and primary inductive couplers.
