In modern oil and gas drilling operations, efficiency, accuracy, and cost control are critical. One of the most effective tools used for directional drilling and sidetracking in open hole wells is the Openhole Whipstock. ProGrynd provides high-quality Openhole Whipstock solutions designed to deliver reliable performance in challenging downhole conditions.
Openhole Whipstocks are widely used to create a controlled deviation in the wellbore without the need for casing, making them an economical and practical choice for many drilling operations.
What is an Openhole Whipstock?
An Openhole Whipstock is a downhole deflection tool installed in an uncased (open hole) section of a well. It is used to guide drilling tools away from the original well path to create a new sidetrack. The whipstock features an inclined face that directs the drill bit at a predetermined angle, allowing precise wellbore deviation.
Unlike cased hole whipstocks, open hole whipstocks rely on formation contact and anchoring systems to maintain stability during drilling operations.
