Abstract
A travel joint that includes a lower tubular member, an upper tubular member telescopically coupled to the lower tubular member, a telescoping control line conduit secured about a travel joint periphery, said telescoping control line conduit including an outer tube telescopically coupled to an inner tube, and a sliding electrical contact having a first segment positioned on the outer tube and a second segment positioned on the inner tube.

A well system, comprising:
- an upper completion for retrievably lowering into a well toward a lower completion installed in the well, the upper completion comprising production tubing for conveying well fluids from the lower completion;
- a travel joint coupled to a lower end of the upper completion and including
- a lower tubular member,
- an upper tubular member telescopically coupled to the lower tubular member,
- a telescoping control line conduit secured about a travel joint periphery, said telescoping control line conduit including an outer tube telescopically coupled to an inner tube,
- and
- a sliding electrical contact having a first segment positioned on the outer tube and a second segment positioned on the inner tube;
- and
- a disconnect tool coupled to the lower tubular member of the travel joint for releasably connecting to the lower completion.

A method, comprising:
- lowering an upper completion into a well with a travel joint coupled to a lower end of the upper completion, the travel joint including an upper tubular member telescopically coupled to a lower tubular member;
- releasably connect the lower tubular member of the travel joint to a lower completion to define a fluid pathway extending from the upper completion to the lower completion through the travel joint;
- and
- lowering the upper completion to telescopically move the upper tubular member with respect to the lower tubular member of the travel joint while maintaining an electrical transmission path across a telescoping control line conduit positioned between the upper tubular member and the lower tubular member.
