Abstract: A bottom hole assembly (BHA) includes a top sub-assembly configured to couple to a downhole conveyance to move into a wellbore that includes completion components secured in the wellbore; a drill bit configured to drill out and remove a first portion of a subset of the completion components; and an expandable reamer including a cutting assembly and configured to adjust between a retracted position in which a diameter of the cutting assembly is less than a diameter of a bore through at least one of the completion components and an activated position in which the diameter of the cutting assembly is greater than the diameter of the bore. The expandable reamer is further configured to remove a second portion of the subset of the completion components in the activated position.

Abstract: A dual liner assembly for a multilateral fracking system, comprises a junction support liner adapted to be installed in a lateral wellbore at a junction with a main wellbore; an inner liner with an upper portion and a lower portion, the inner liner being positioned inside the junction support liner and extending beyond the junction support liner within the main wellbore and within the lateral wellbore when the assembly is installed; and a cut and release connector adapted to join the inner liner and the junction support liner and to enable detaching of the upper portion of the inner liner from the assembly. A method of multilateral fracking is also described.

Abstract: A valve for subterranean whipstock service has a side port and a through passage with a biased movable sleeve to shift between circulation mode into the annulus and flow through mode for setting an anchor and then feeding window mill nozzles. The valve is run in when in circulation mode to allow operation of a measurement while drilling device. When the whipstock is properly oriented the pressure is increased to break a shear pin to allow a spring to bias the sleeve to the flow through position. The shifting of the sleeve opens a bypass passage around the restriction orifice that was first used to build pressure to break the shear pins that let the sleeve move under spring bias. As a result the spring can hold the sleeve in position despite high flow rates needed to remove cuttings from the mill as the window is opened.

Abstract: A whipstock assembly for emplacing and orienting a whipstock within a wellbore. The whipstock assembly includes a whipstock, an anchor sub for securing the whipstock within the wellbore and a locating tool which is releasably secured to the whipstock. The locating tool includes a tool body with an inclined contact face and a hook which extends radially outwardly from the tool body. The hook is shaped and sized to engage a lower end of the casing exit window to align and orient the whipstock with the casing exit window.

Abstract: Systems facilitate forming lateral wellbores by optionally eliminating one or more trips downhole. The systems provide for forming a lateral wellbore by enabling the milling of a casing window and/or the drilling of the desired lateral wellbore to a target depth during a single trip down hole. The systems also facilitate improved downhole dynamics control and overall bottom hole assembly functionality.

Abstract: A method for lateral drilling into a subterranean formation whereby a shoe is positioned in a well casing, the shoe defining a passageway extending from an upper opening in the shoe through the shoe to a side opening in the shoe. A rod and casing mill assembly are inserted into the well casing and through the passageway in the shoe until a casing mill end of the casing mill assembly substantially abuts the well casing. The rod and casing mill assembly are rotated until the casing mill end substantially forms a perforation in the well casing. An internally rotating nozzle is attached to an end of a hose and is pushed through the passageway and the perforation into the subterranean formation, and fluid is ejected from tangential jets into the subterranean formation for impinging upon and eroding the subterranean formation.

Abstract: A main bore is drilled and a treatment assembly is located. A packer is located to support a whipstock for drilling the lateral. This packer serves as a lower seal on a main bore diverter. The whipstock is installed on the packer and a mill drills a window and the lateral. The mill is pulled and the whipstock removed with a fixed lug tool. A bottom hole assembly is run into the lateral which includes a diverter that is landed by the window. If cementing is called for it is done at this time. A top string is installed that isolates the upper casing. The lateral is treated with the main bore isolated. The diverter is retrieved through the top string. The main bore diverter is run in through top string and landed in the junction with the window and lateral isolated. The main bore diverter is removed through the top string. The treatment bottom hole assembly has a series of sliding sleeves operated by a single size ball.

Abstract: A method is for establishing a new well path from an existing well, wherein the existing well, at least in a portion where the new well path is to be established, is delineated radially by a casing. The method comprises disposing and anchoring a plug base in the well; providing a plug above the plug base in the well and along a longitudinal section thereof, wherein the plug, at least in a portion thereof, covers substantially the entire cross-section of the well; removing a portion of the plug in such a manner that at least a cross-sectional section of the plug remains on the outside of the casing; disposing and anchoring a direction-guiding element in the well, and at least partially within the longitudinal section; and with the direction-guiding element, guiding a drilling tool against the inside of the casing in the existing well path in order to form a hole through the casing, and through the remaining cross-sectional section of the plug within the longitudinal section, which opens up to formation of a new well path. The method also comprises conducting a perforation tool down into the casing and to the longitudinal section where the plug is to be set; forming holes in the casing and along the longitudinal section by means of the perforation tool; and pumping a fluidized plugging material down through the string and out into the casing, thus also into the annulus via the holes in the casing.

Abstract: A lateral junction for a multilateral wellbore having a main bore and a lateral leg which extends away from the main bore. The lateral junction includes a seal bore diverter and a hanger that is insertable into the seal bore diverter to form the junction. An engagement mechanism interlocks the hanger and seal bore diverter together at the crux of their joining.
