Abstract
A hydraulically balanced multiple drop well completion has a plurality of hydraulic control lines each of which communicates hydraulic inputs and a plurality of hydraulically operated tools numbering greater than or equal to the number of hydraulic control lines. Each of the hydraulic control lines is connected to at least one of the hydraulically operated tools to communicate hydraulic inputs to actuate the hydraulically operated tools. Each of the hydraulically operated tools discharges hydraulic fluid to one of the hydraulic control lines other than the hydraulic control line from which it receives the controlling hydraulic input.
