Abstract
A method is presented involving the use of measurement-while-drilling (MWD) devices and tools for well completion (including multi-lateral well completion). While MWD techniques have been known for many years and in that time, have gained wide acceptance, the use of MWD has been limited only to borehole drilling, particularly directional drilling. However, it has now been discovered that MWD may be advantageously used in wellbore completions and particularly multi-lateral completions. Examples of successful applications of MWD in completions are provided with regard to lateral wellbores which may be installed at depths of 10,000 ft. or more, and which range from vertical to horizontal. Such examples include the running of a scoophead/diverter assembly and a parallel seal assembly where it is desirable to align the tools at approximately the position at which they will engage with mating equipment.
