Providing coupler portions along a structure

1. A system comprising:

a liner structure to line a well, the liner structure having a plurality of inductive coupler portions to provide discrete points of communication;

a control line connected to at least one of the coupler portions, wherein the control line is to extend to earth surface equipment; and

a jumper comprising a first inductive coupler portion, a second inductive coupler portion, and an intermediate portion between the first and second inductive coupler portions, wherein the jumper is configured to communicatively couple to a particular one of the inductive coupler portions on the liner structure to allow continued communication with the particular coupler portion in a presence of a fault, wherein the jumper is positioned with the first inductive coupler portion on a first side of the fault and the second inductive coupler portion on a second side of the fault opposite the first inductive coupler portion, and wherein the jumper is deployed in an inner bore of the liner structure.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fault is a fault of the control line that prevents communication with the particular inductive coupler portion without the jumper.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the jumper is to be provided outside the liner structure to communicatively couple to selected ones of the plurality of inductive coupler portions including the particular coupler portion.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inductive coupler portions include hydraulic coupler portions, and the control line includes a hydraulic control line.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inductive coupler portions include optical coupler portions, and the control line includes a fiber optic cable.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner structure includes at least one of a casing or a liner.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the liner structure includes a liner, the system further comprising: a tubing string for deployment in the well, wherein the tubing string has a coupler portion to communicatively engage with one of the inductive coupler portions on the liner.

8. The system of claim 7 , further comprising

a casing to line a segment of the well, wherein the tubing string is deployed in the casing; and

a liner hanger engaged in the casing, wherein the liner extends from the liner hanger into another segment of the well.

9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a tool deployable through the liner structure and having a coupler portion to communicatively engage with one of the inductive coupler portions on the liner structure.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the tool is for deployment in a lateral branch extending from a main wellbore of the well.

11. A method comprising:

positioning first inductive coupler portions in an openhole section of a well;

lowering a jumper into the well, the jumper having a first inductive coupler portion, a second inductive coupler portion, and an intermediate section between the first and second inductive coupler portion, wherein the jumper is configured to engage at least one of the first coupler portions; and

positioning the jumper in the well in an inner bore relative to the inductive coupler portions with the first and second inductive coupler portions bridging a fault, wherein the jumper is configured to bypass the fault.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first inductive coupler portions and jumper are selected from among inductive coupler portions, hydraulic coupler portions, and optical coupler portions.
