Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A diverting system includes, a first tubular, a second tubular receptive to the first tubular having at least one lateral extending therefrom, the first tubular is runnable into the second tubular as well as into the at least one lateral, an engaging device in operable communication with both the first tubular and the second tubular, and a diverting tool in operable communication with the engaging device configured to selectively divert the first tubular into the at least one lateral.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A diverting system, comprising: a first tubular; a second tubular receptive to the first tubular being run thereinto and having at least one lateral wellbore extending therefrom, the first tubular being runnable into the second tubular as well as into the at least one lateral wellbore; an engaging device mounted to the first tubular for running and in operable communication with both the first tubular and the second tubular; and a diverting tool mounted to the first tubular for running and in operable communication with the engaging device configured to selectively divert the first tubular into the at least one lateral wellbore, wherein the diverting tool allowed passage of the first tubular by the at least one lateral wellbore upon a first run and the diverting tool prevents passage of the first tubular by the at least one lateral tubular during subsequent runs, with subsequent runs being defined as starting once an end of the first tubular is withdrawn beyond the at least one lateral wellbore. 2. The diverting system of claim 1 , wherein the engaging device is disposed at the first tubular. 3. The diverting system of claim 1 , wherein the diverting tool is disposed at the first tubular. 4. The diverting system of claim 1 , wherein the diverting tool is fixedly attached to the engaging device. 5. A diverting system, comprising: a first tubular; a second tubular receptive to the first tubular being run thereinto and having at least one lateral wellbore extending therefrom, the first tubular being runnable into the second tubular as well as into the at least one lateral wellbore; an engaging device mounted to the first tubular running and in operable communication with both the first tubular and the second tubular, wherein the engaging device interacts with a profile of the second tubular near each of the at least one lateral wellbore and wherein withdrawal of the engaging device by the profile alters the engaging device to thereby prevent the engaging device from running past the profile a second time; and a diverting tool mounted to the first tubular for running and in operable communication with the engaging device, and the diverting tool configured to selectively divert the first tubular into the at least one lateral wellbore.
