Abstract

A method of forming a wellbore junction, the method comprising the steps of: drilling a first wellbore (12) intersecting a subterranean formation; drilling a second wellbore (18) intersecting the first wellbore (12) and the formation; and forcing a stabilizing material into the formation surrounding the intersection of the first and second wellbores.
