Abstract:
Example systems and methods are described for performing multilateral well sensing in a downhole environment. In an example system, a cased parent wellbore and a cased lateral wellbore intersect at a lateral junction. A sensor is deployed within the cased lateral wellbore that communicably couples to a transmitter module, wherein the transmitter module is deployed within the cased lateral wellbore downhole of the lateral junction and configured to generate acoustic signals. An optical fiber cable is deployed within the cased parent wellbore and configured to receive acoustic signals transmitted by the transmitter module in the cased lateral wellbore.
