The Baker Hughes PathMaster™ whipstock system combines the one-trip and retrievable features of the field-proven WindowMaster™ whipstock with a shorter whipstock ramp and full-gauge mills. This system provides a quicker kickoff with a higher build rate in short-radius drilling applications. Decreased length of the whipstock and a milling assembly consisting of only a window mill and watermelon mill combine to form a significantly shorter window exit bottomhole assembly (BHA). The reduced-length BHA can pass through higher doglegs in the wellbore.
