RNSTranslator,
Sorry to rain on your parade...
Sidetrack definition:
"Sidetracking out of an existing wellbore is another application of directional drilling. This is done to bypass an obstruction ("fish") in the original wellbore, to explore the extent of a producing zone in a certain sector of a field, or to sidetrack a dry hole to a more promising target. Wells are also sidetracked to access more reservoir by drilling a horizontal hole section from the existing well bore."
You are mixing it all up...
West Newton B site has two cellars installed for wells B1 and B2
B1 well was originally vertical well to test the Cadeby zone and to further appraise the Kirkham Abbey zone. They drilled deviated well to Total Depth of 2295m(2316m MD, 2058m TVDSS), so ~250m deviation from the location at the top .
B2 well is designed as a deviated well(horizontal into Kirkham Abbey zone) to further appraise the Kirkham Abbey zone only
B1 sidetrack is just another shot at drilling another leg/well from the B1 motherbore kicking out the new well (B1Z) from the certain depth, they haven't mentioned it, but we will find out in few weeks time when CAR docs will be updated on EA site, into another direction expecting to find the Kirkham Abbey zone pay and Cadeby zone pay.
(Google "sidetrack well" and push images, you will see what it means exactly)
