Open hole multilaterals

Hello folks.  We're discussing drilling two 6" lateral horizontal wellbores below a 7" liner.  The plan under discussion is to drill the higher lateral first then the lower one, with an azimuth difference of something like 50 degrees between the laterals.  The 7" shoe will be at around 55 deg inclination.  After drilling the laterals, we'll need to run CT into each lateral for stimulation.

Question is, whether cuttings building up in the upper lateral would prevent getting in with CT to do the stimulation and what might we do to mitigate that?
