| 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
