At Progrynd, we specialize in advanced openhole whipstock solutions that help operators navigate complex formations and sidetrack wells with unparalleled precision. Our state-of-the-art systems and engineering expertise are trusted across industries that demand safe, efficient, and highly controlled directional drilling. 

What is Openhole Whipstock Sidetracking?

 Openhole whipstock is a specialized technique used in directional drilling to create a new wellbore path without the need for casing. Unlike cased-hole applications, openhole whipstock operations occur before the wellbore is cemented, allowing operators greater flexibility in directional control and geological targeting. This method is ideal when: 

  • A sidetrack is needed in an uncased section of the well.
  • The objective is to bypass a stuck drill string or other downhole obstruction.
  • Geological targets require a new trajectory from the original bore.

Why Choose Progrynd for Openhole Whipstock Services?

 At Progrynd, we provide openhole whipstock tools and support that combine innovation, efficiency, and operational safety. ✔ Industry-Leading Tools Our openhole whipstock systems are engineered for durability and accurate orientation, helping drillers initiate sidetracks seamlessly even in complex open formations. ✔ Expert Engineering Support We offer 24/7 technical support and on-site engineering services to help you set, anchor, and mill the whipstock with confidence. ✔ Reduced NPT and Operational Risk With optimized tool design and field-proven performance, our systems reduce non-productive time (NPT) and help avoid expensive re-runs or formation damage. 

How Openhole Whipstock Works

 The openhole whipstock technique involves the deployment of a whipstock tool into the uncased wellbore, typically anchored via mechanical or hydraulic mechanisms. The mill follows the wedge-shaped whipstock face to initiate a sidetrack path in the desired direction. 

Key Steps:

  1. Tool Deployment: The whipstock is run into the openhole on drill pipe or a workstring.
  2. Anchoring: A reliable anchor holds the whipstock in place within the open formation.
  3. Milling Window: A specialized milling system creates a smooth window into the formation for the new wellbore.
  4. Directional Drilling: The new trajectory is drilled through the milled window, targeting the desired subsurface zone.

Applications of Openhole Whipstock

 Progrynd’s openhole whipstock solutions are widely used in: 

  • Sidetracking to bypass wellbore obstructions
  • Reservoir re-entry operations
  • Multi-lateral well creation
  • Geothermal and oil & gas directional drilling

Advantages of Openhole Whipstock Over Cased-Hole Methods

  • No need for casing removal or pre-milling
  • Greater directional control
  • Fewer operational steps
  • Lower total project costs
  • Faster deployment time
