This system delivers on improved safety, robustness, and efficiency of a casing exit operation by providing a positive impact in the reduction of carbon emissions. This is possible due to the system's ability to reduce the required time to pick up, deploy, run in hole, install, and to perform the milling operation. The reduction in time in these operations translates to an increase in personnel safety and reduces carbon emissions to the environment. The system furthers the efforts of safety with its ability to combine the traditional required separate clean-out run with the installation run. This substantial time savings and deletion of a separate clean-out operation removes the opportunity of exposing personnel to the risk of potential falling objects, cluttering of the rig floor with additional tools, and the handling of the tools. Traditional whipstock systems utilize a shear bolt as it's mill to whipstock interface, whereas this system uses a self-aligning cylinder that can be assembled on the rig floor or can be pre-assembled in the shop prior to being loaded out. The benefits of being pre-assembled allows for the system to be picked up and directly installed into the well, thus preventing personnel exposure to dangerous pinch points. Traditional whipstock systems are limited to a run-in hole rate of two minutes per stand. The limitation of the slow run-in rate promotes delays in the progression of subsequent tasks. The long durations while running the traditional system in hole can lead to distractions and complacency resulting in injuries due to lack of focus. The system can prevent failed runs and reduced trips with its combination of redundant activated anchor and mill to whipstock interface, the anchor being configurable in either hydraulic or annular activation, can also be activated by setting down on a bridge plug, fish, or cement plug. With the use of the connector style whipstock, the anchor can be dragged up hole and reoriented if needed to the original kickoff point (KOP). This eliminates the necessity to pull out of hole and to re-run due to a failure in setting the whipstock. Thus, preventing unnecessary changes to the casing exit operation and decreasing handling of tools by personnel. |
