Claim 0:
1. A method for completing a well, comprising:
deploying lower completion equipment into a lower lateral borehole and into a lower portion of a primary borehole from which the lower lateral borehole extends, wherein deploying the lower completion equipment comprises deploying a first packer positioned in the primary borehole below the lower lateral borehole and a second packer positioned in the primary borehole above the lower lateral borehole, and at least a portion of the primary borehole extends below at least a portion of the lower lateral borehole;
running an intermediate completion, having permanent downhole monitoring and flow control equipment for the lower lateral borehole and the primary borehole, downhole into engagement with the lower completion equipment;
after running the intermediate completion downhole, drilling an upper lateral borehole;
completing the upper lateral borehole;
using an upper multilateral junction to place the upper lateral borehole in fluid communication with the primary borehole; and
installing an upper completion by conveying the upper completion downhole and into engagement with the intermediate completion to enable transmission of signals between the upper completion and the intermediate completion.
