What is an Openhole Whipstock?
An Openhole Whipstock is a specialized downhole tool used in drilling operations to deflect the drill bit from its original path, allowing sidetracking into a new wellbore section. It is deployed directly in the open hole without the need for casing, making it highly suitable for challenging drilling environments.
