Abstract: Systems and methods of forming a seal employ a robust metal sealing unit for tubulars used in rotary drilling. Specifically, eutectic alloy is used to seal a tubular to a wellbore after drilling. A downhole heater melts the alloy, allowing the alloy to expand and drain before it cools and solidifies between the wellbore and tubular, forming a gas tight seal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for alloy-based molten material to be delivered to the multilateral junction, wherein the molten materials, such as a eutectic or non-eutectic alloy, is flowed into the junction area and forms a durable seal upon cooling. An expanding alloy may be utilized, which expands upon solidification and which has a melting temperature that is higher than the maximum anticipated well temperature, which alloy is placed within a cavity in the well and held at a temperature above the melting point of the alloy, whereupon the alloy is cooled down to the ambient well temperature and thereby solidifies and expands within the cavity.
