At ProGrynd, we specialize in advanced openhole whipstock solutions for precise, reliable sidetracking operations in the oil and gas industry. Our expertise helps operators efficiently re-enter and sidetrack wells in challenging conditions, optimizing recovery while minimizing downtime and operational costs. With openhole whipstock, you can perform sidetracking without casing, reducing rig time while enhancing your wellbore placement strategy for production enhancement.
What is Openhole Whipstock?
An openhole whipstock is a mechanical deflection tool designed to divert the drilling trajectory from the original wellbore to create a new borehole without the need for casing. It is set inside an openhole section, allowing sidetrack drilling operations directly below the last casing shoe. This enables operators to bypass obstructions, access untapped zones, or adjust drilling paths in complex reservoirs.
At ProGrynd, we design and deploy openhole whipstocks engineered for high-angle, horizontal, and multilateral wells, ensuring precise kickoff points while maintaining well integrity and drilling efficiency.
Our Openhole Whipstock Services
1. Whipstock Installation and Setting:
Our expert field teams ensure secure and accurate whipstock setting using hydraulic or mechanical anchor systems to stabilize the whipstock in openhole environments.
2. Window Milling and Sidetracking:
We provide advanced milling operations to initiate a clean and effective sidetrack window in the wellbore, using string mills and junk mills designed for optimal cutting and durability.
3. Custom Engineering Solutions:
We assess your reservoir objectives to design customized openhole whipstock solutions that match formation conditions, target depths, and trajectory requirements.
Benefits of Openhole Whipstock Sidetracking
• Reduced Operational Time: No need to run additional casing before sidetracking, reducing rig time and associated costs.
• Access to Bypassed Reservoir Zones: Sidetrack around obstructions, non-productive zones, or collapsed sections effectively.
• Cost-Effective Well Recovery: Extend the life of existing wells while reducing the need for drilling new wells.
• Enhanced Reservoir Management: Adjust wellbore placement for improved reservoir drainage and recovery rates.
