Method of providing hydraulic/fiber conduits adjacent bottom hole assemblies for multi-step completions

A method of completion of a well, comprising:

• attaching at least one auxiliary conduit or cable to a downhole assembly;
• providing a connection to said conduit or cable;
• running in said downhole assembly with said cable or conduit to a desired location in the well;
• tagging into said downhole assembly and said connection of said conduit or cable downhole on at least one subsequent trip into the well with a tubular having at least one auxiliary cable or conduit extending along its length from the surface;
• communicating through said auxiliary cable or conduit between the surface and the downhole assembly on a real time basis;
• tagging into said downhole assembly on a subsequent trip with production tubing having at least one auxiliary cable or conduit which is also connectable to said connection of said cable or conduit on the downhole assembly;
• communicating during production through auxiliary cable or conduit between the surface and the downhole assembly on a real time basis.
