Multilateral/Extended Reach
Constructing an Offshore Reformable Corrosion-Resistant-Alloy Multilateral
Junction Well
A reformable corrosion-resistant-alloy (CRA) multilateral system was
installed in a well in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. The multilateral
completion allowed access to more reservoir targets than would have been
possible with a traditional horizontal well.
