Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/108742
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for completing a lateral channel from an existing oil or
has well includes a well perforating tool for perforating a well casing at a preselected
depth, and a lateral alignment tool for directing a flexible hose and blaster

alignment of a downhole "shoe" in order to direct the flexible hose
and faster nozzle through a previously made perforation through the well casing.
