Abstract

A zone isolation assembly array (794) for a well (712) includes a first zone isolation assembly (722A) and a second zone isolation assembly (722B). The first zone isolation assembly (722A) selectively inhibits fluid communication between a first zone (726) and a second zone (728) of the well (712). The second zone isolation assembly (722B) can be positioned between the first zone isolation assembly (722A) and a surface region (32) of the well (712) in an in-line manner. The second zone isolation assembly (722B) selectively inhibits fluid communication between the second zone (728) and a third zone (796) of the well (712). In another embodiment, the zone isolation assembly array (794) includes a first docking receiver (748A), a second docking receiver (748B), a first docking apparatus (750A) and a second docking apparatus (750B). The docking receivers (748A, 748B) can be positioned in an in-line manner. The second docking apparatus (750B) is coupled to the first docking apparatus (750A). The zone isolation assembly array (794) can also a first fluid collector (752A) and a second fluid collector (752B). The first fluid collector (752A) collects a first fluid (738) from within the first zone (726) when the first docking apparatus (750A) is in the engaged position. The second fluid collector (752B) collects a second fluid (740) from within the second zone (728) when the second docking apparatus (750B) is in the engaged position. The first fluid collector (752A) can collect the first fluid (738) in a different manner than the second fluid collector (752B) collects the second fluid (740).
