Abstract

An isolation system is disclosed that contains: a lower wet connect portion, a central production tubing, an isolation device associated with the central production tubing, and at least one communication line, wherein the at least one communication line is associated with the lower wet connect portion and is disposed through an inside diameter of the isolation device. Further, a method for isolating a lower completion is disclosed that includes: conveying an isolation assembly to the lower completion, the isolation assembly including: a lower wet isolation device; and routing the at least one communication line through an inside diameter of the isolation device. Further a completion system is disclosed that contains a lower completion system and an isolation system associated with the lower completion system.

Claims (32)

1. An isolation system comprising:

a lower wet connect portion;

a central production tubing;

a fluid crossover associated with the central production tubing;

an isolation device associated with the central production tubing; and

a communication line, wherein the communication line is associated with the lower wet connect portion and is disposed through an inside diameter of the isolation device, wherein the communication line crosses over from within the central production tubing to be along the central production tubing.

2. The isolation system of claim 1 , wherein the communication line is disposed through a conduit of the isolation device.

3. The isolation system of claim 1 , wherein the communication line is disposed outside the central production tubing below the isolation device.

4. The isolation system of claim 1 , further comprising a seal associated with the central production tubing.

5. The isolation system of claim 4 , wherein the communication line is disposed through the seal.

6. The isolation system of claim 4 , wherein the communication line is disposed inside the central production tubing above the seal.

7. A method for isolating a lower completion, the method comprising:

conveying an isolation assembly to the lower completion, the isolation assembly including a lower wet connect portion, a communication line, a central production tubing, an isolation device, and a fluid crossover associated with the central production tubing; and

routing the communication line through an inside diameter of the isolation device, wherein the communication line crosses over from within the central production tubing to be along the central production tubing.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising routing the communication line through a conduit in the isolation device.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising routing the communication line outside the central production tubing below the isolation device.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising conveying a seal with the isolation assembly to the lower completion.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising routing the communication line through the seal.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising routing the communication line inside the central production tubing above the seal.

13. A completion system comprising:

a lower completion system; and

an isolation system associated with the lower completion system including:

a lower wet connect portion;

a central production tubing;

a fluid crossover associated with the central production tubing;

an isolation device associated with the central production tubing; and

a communication line, wherein the communication line is associated with the lower wet connect portion and the lower completion system and is disposed through an inside diameter of the isolation device, wherein the communication line crosses over from within the central production tubing to be along the central production tubing.

14. The completion system of claim 13 , wherein the communication line is disposed through a conduit of the isolation device.

15. The completion system of claim 13 , wherein the communication line is disposed outside the central production tubing below the isolation device.

16. The completion system of claim 13 , further comprising a seal associated with the central production tubing.

17. The completion system of claim 16 , wherein the communication line is disposed through the seal.

18. The completion system of claim 16 , wherein the communication line is disposed inside the central production tubing above the seal.
