Abstract

A method for constructing a wellbore comprises installing a lateral diverter in a lateral junction system; applying a release material to the lateral diverter;
running foregoing elements in a borehole; deploying the lateral junction system in a lateral exit window; and applying a hardenable agent to the lateral junction system.

Claims (7)

1. A method for constructing a wellbore comprising:
installing a lateral diverter in a lateral junction system;
applying a release material to said lateral diverter;
running foregoing elements in a borehole;
deploying said lateral junction system in a lateral exit window; and applying a hardenable agent to said lateral junction system.
2. A method for constructing a wellbore as claimed in claim 1 wherein said hardenable agent applying is cementing.
3. A method for constructing a wellbore as claimed in claim 2 wherein said cementing includes cleaning out.
4. A method for constructing a wellbore as claimed in claim 2 wherein said method further comprises allowing said cement to set.
5. A method for constructing a wellbore as claimed in claim 4 wherein said method further includes pulling said lateral diverter.
6. A method for constructing a wellbore as claimed in claim 5 wherein said lateral diverter is pulled after setting of the cement.
7. A method for constructing a wellbore as claimed in claim 5 wherein said pulling includes separating said lateral diverter from said cement by defeating bonding properties of said release material.
