Abstract:
1. A method of completing a well, comprising: installing a junction assembly at a junction of first and second bores in a well; during an installation procedure of the junction assembly, testing a sealed connection in the junction assembly; determining, during the installation procedure, whether the sealed connection in the junction assembly is leaking based on the testing; shutting off a distal portion of the junction assembly; generating a test flow of fluid into the junction assembly during the testing; monitoring a first pressure of the test flow of fluid in the junction assembly before the distal portion of the junction assembly is shut off; and monitoring a second pressure of the test flow of fluid after the distal portion of the junction assembly is shut off, wherein determining whether the sealed connection in the junction assembly is leaking is based on a level of increase between the second pressure and the first pressure.
