Nic, sorry if this is silly questions but fairly new to this.
If sidetracking would this include running a whipstock in the casing then drilling through the side? Also would you then need to run new casing into the new drilled section?
What is the benefit of this? And is that what people refer to as a tie back?
Also would you then pull the whipstock (if you run one) and what happens with the original well or do you produce from both now?
Also, I thought wells had a completion string within the casing? If so would this need pulled first?
Thanks for any help
