Trackmaster® Plus Open Hole Whipstock System

is recommended for going around a fish or some other obstruction encountered during the drilling operation. Depending on the nature of the fish, equipment for this departure can be configured for use with traditional tie-in type devices or inflatable packers/anchors. The Trackmaster Plus Open Hole System is also ideal for drilling TAML Level 1 open hole sidetracks. If using tie-in devices, the system can require multiple trips; one to engage the anchor and one or more to sidetrack and continue drilling. Tie-In Systems are deployed on a specially designed shear sub that can transmit sufficient torque or fluid volumes to effectively anchor and orient the system. If using an inflatable packer/anchor, a one-trip system can be employed. In either case, orientation of the whipstock face can be achieved by using the hydraulic swivel.

Hydraulic Swivel
  • Enables orientation of the whipstock after the anchor is set
  • Use when running a Tie-In Anchor
  • Hydraulically actuated in increments as small as 11.25 degrees
Cementing Deflector
  • Simple three degree ramp design
  • Bored to accept a cementing stinger
  • Tail pipe is cemented into place to anchor deflector
Open Hole Deflector (non-cemented)
  • Simple three degree ramp design
Inflatable Anchor (non-cemented)
  • Hydraulically actuated
Tie-In Anchor (non-cemented)
  • Utilizes a spear, overshot or tap to latch to a tubular fish
  • Fish becomes the anchor
  • Run with hydraulic swivel to enable orientation
