Abstract

A junction for use in a multilateral completion system is presented. The junction comprises a metal sealant applicable to a lateral component of the multilateral completion system. The metal sealant is expanding in response to hydrolysis and after activation forms a seal and an anchor with a well casing or tubing of the multilateral completion system. The metal sealant is expanding in response to one of an alkaline earth metal hydrolysis and a transition metal hydrolysis. More specifically, the metal sealant is expanding in response to one of magnesium hydrolysis, aluminum hydrolysis, calcium hydrolysis, and calcium oxide hydrolysis.
