Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a wellbore assembly designed to plug and abandon a wellbore below a certain depth. - The assembly includes a whipstock assembly that can drill a lateral wellbore from a primary wellbore in a subterranean zone. - A tool assembly is connected to the whipstock assembly and can be lowered into the primary wellbore at the same time as the whipstock assembly. - The tool assembly is designed to perform wellbore operations below a casing window, which is where the whipstock assembly will drill the lateral wellbore. - The innovation allows for more efficient and streamlined wellbore plugging and abandonment processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

A wellbore assembly to plug and abandon a wellbore below a setting depth includes a whipstock assembly configured to drill a lateral wellbore from a primary wellbore formed in a subterranean zone. The wellbore assembly includes a tool assembly connected to the whipstock assembly. The tool assembly is configured to be lowered into the primary wellbore during the same trip as the whipstock assembly. The tool assembly is configured to perform wellbore operations downhole of a casing window from which the whipstock assembly is configured to drill the lateral wellbore before the whipstock assembly drills the lateral wellbore.
