Methods and systems for cemented open hole intelligent completions in multilateral wells requiring full isolation of gas cap, fractures and / or water bearing boundaries

Abstract

A method of providing a cemented open hole intelligent completion in a well containing an open hole having a perimeter in which plurality of laterals are embedded. The method comprises deploying a first string section in a portion of the open hole containing the plurality of laterals, the first section having intelligent completion components including control valves, gauges and control lines operable from a surface station, deploying a second string section coupled to and positioned above the first string section and above the plurality of laterals including a setting packer, and delivering cement downhole that sets in a cemented section comprising an annulus between the second string and the perimeter of the open hole. The cemented section is positioned above the plurality of laterals so as to block fluids from production while not interfering with communication between the surface and the intelligent components of the first string.
