System and method for connecting multiple stage completions

Abstract

A technique is provided to facilitate connection of multiple stage completions. A first completion stage is deployed at a wellbore location. Subsequently, the next completion stage is moved downhole into engagement with the first completion stage. The completion stages each have communication lines that are coupled together downhole via movement of the completion stages into engagement.

1 . A completion system, comprising:
 a lower completion stage having an integrated first communication line; and   an upper completion stage having an integrated second communication line, wherein movement of the upper completion stage into engagement with the lower completion stage at a downhole location automatically couples the integrated second communication line to the integrated first communication line.   
   
   
       2 . The completion system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the lower completion stage comprises a plurality of integrated first communication lines and the upper completion stage comprises a plurality of integrated second communication lines. 
   
   
       3 . The completion system as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a circumferential feature that enables automatic coupling of the integrated second communication line and the integrated first communication line regardless of the rotational orientation of the upper completion stage relative to the lower completion stage. 
   
   
       4 . The completion system as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a pressure compensation system.
