Noun Phrase
/ˈoʊpən hoʊl ˈsaɪdˌtrækɪŋ/
Open hole sidetracking refers to a drilling technique related to oil and gas production. It involves creating a new wellbore that branches off from an existing wellbore in an open hole (i.e., without casing) environment. This technique is typically used to access additional reserves or to circumvent complications in the wellbore.
The frequency of use for "open hole sidetracking" is primarily in technical and professional contexts, particularly in the fields of petroleum engineering and geological exploration. It is more commonly used in written contexts, such as industry reports, academic papers, and technical manuals, than in oral speech.
Open hole sidetracking can enhance our ability to extract oil from difficult formations.
Открытая боковая отработка может улучшить нашу способность извлекать нефть из сложных формаций.
The use of open hole sidetracking was essential in addressing the unexpected geological challenges encountered during drilling.
Использование открытой боковой отработки было жизненно важным для решения неожиданных геологических проблем, с которыми мы столкнулись во время бурения.
Before deciding on open hole sidetracking, the drilling team conducted a thorough analysis of the existing well.
Перед принятием решения о применении открытой боковой отработки буровая команда провела тщательный анализ существующего скважины.
While "open hole sidetracking" itself is a technical phrase and not commonly found in idiomatic expressions, the terms "sidetracking" and "open hole" can contribute to various idiomatic contexts surrounding drilling and problem-solving.
When issues arise, we often think about sidetracking our initial plan to find a better route.
Когда возникают проблемы, мы часто размышляем о том, чтобы изменить наш первоначальный план, чтобы найти лучший путь.
If we hit an obstacle in drilling, sidetracking is always on the table as an alternative strategy.
Если мы встретим препятствие в бурении, изменение курса всегда рассматривается как альтернативная стратегия.
The team's ability to sidetrack potential pitfalls made the project a success.

The term "open hole" refers to the state of the borehole being void of casing, which allows the surrounding rock or formations to remain exposed. "Sidetracking" comes from the idea of diverting from the primary course of action (a "track") to explore or exploit another route.
