  10. Verfahren nach Anspruch 8, wobei der Rohrstrang ferner mehrere hydraulische Steuervorrichtungen umfasst, die eine Ausübung eines hydraulischen Betätigungsdrucks auf jeweilige der mehreren Strömungssteuervorrichtungen steuern, wobei eine einzelne der mindestens einen hydraulischen Steuervorrichtungen eine Ausübung eines hydraulischen Betätigungsdrucks auf mehrere der Strömungssteuervorrichtungen steuert.
  11. Verfahren nach Anspruch 8, wobei die Drucksensoren den Druck erfassen von:
    a) dem Fluid außerhalb des Rohrstrangs; ODER
    b) dem Fluid innerhalb des Rohrstrangs.
  12. Verfahren nach Anspruch 8, wobei die Strömungssteuervorrichtungen das Fluid von dem jeweiligen der mehreren Bohrlochsiebe aufnehmen.
  13. Verfahren nach Anspruch 8, wobei der Rohrstrang ferner Folgendes umfasst:
    a) eine kombinierte hydraulische, elektrische und optische Nassverbindung; ODER
    b) einen Kompensator mit hydraulischen, elektrischen und optischen Leitungen, die den Kompensator durchqueren.
  14. Verfahren nach Anspruch 8, wobei der Lichtwellenleiter positioniert ist:
    a) außerhalb der Bohrlochsiebe; ODER
    b) zwischen den Bohrlochsieben und den Zonen.
  15. Verfahren nach Anspruch 8, ferner umfassend:
    a) Schließen sämtlicher der Strömungssteuervorrichtungen, wodurch eine unbeabsichtigte Strömung des Fluids in den Rohrstrang verhindert wird; ODER
    b) Schließen sämtlicher der Strömungssteuervorrichtungen, wodurch eine unbeabsichtigte Strömung des Fluids aus dem Rohrstrang heraus verhindert wird.
