Abstract

Disclosed herein is a lateral monitoring and/or control system. The system includes at least one splitter (12) having a lateral bore (18) and a main bore (14), at least one control line at the splitter and at least one of a choke module, monitoring module, flow venturi module and a control module disposed in operable communication with the lateral bore and outside of the main bore. Further disclosed herein is a method for controlling and/or monitoring of a multi-lateral well system. The method includes installing one or more splitter in a borehole, installing at least one control line to communicate remotely with each of the one or more splitters selectively communicating with one or more of at least one of a monitoring module, control module, choke module and flow venturi module.
