Topic:         Sidetracking with Whipstocks: An Efficient Method for Increasing Your Operational and Asset Value

 

Abstract:       As the demand increases to lower overall cost of accessing reserves, more reliable operations during the well construction process are required and refined methods for maximizing the value of existing assets must be considered.  Whipstock sidetracking has evolved as a viable solution to add operational value in both new and mature wells.  This presentation will focus on the identification of applications and methods to increase operational efficiency in the process of drilling and completing wells along with recovering stranded production in existing fields.
