During a workover to repair a casing shoe leak, a gas utility sidetracked out of 5 1/2” casing in an injection/withdrawal well due to a severe dogleg. Subsequent attempts to re-enter the casing were unsuccessful.

WellSpot guided a sidetrack from 2400 feet to intersection with the 5 1/2” casing at 9912 feet, where a 30-foot section was milled and cemented for abandonment. It was later completed as a replacement well.
