ABSTRACT:
A well completion apparatus and method comprises a junction assembly having a template and a lateral branch connector sealably engageable with the template to couple a main bore to a lateral branch bore. The template has a lateral window for positioning proximal a junction of the lateral branch bore and the main bore. The lateral branch connector is adapted to be engaged in the template so that a portion of the connector extends through the lateral window of the template. Plural flow paths comprise a first flow path in communication with the lateral branch, and a second flow path for communicating with a portion of the main bore below the junction.
