Abstract
A technique is provided to facilitate connection of completion assemblies at a downhole location. A completion assembly comprises a control line conduit having a connector designed for coupling with a corresponding connector of a next adjacent completion assembly. A cover is selectively used to block entry of debris and other contaminants into the connector during deployment of the completion assembly downhole prior to engagement with the next adjacent completion of assembly.
