Apparatus for completing a subterranean well and associated methods of using same

摘要

Apparatus and method of forming an opening through a tubular structure (28i) in a subterranean well (38i). The apparatus includes a whipstock (314) in which a receiver (316) and a cutting device (320) are operatively disposed. The receiver (316) is capable of receiving a predetermined signal from a transmitter (326) disposed within the tubular structure (28i). The cutting device (320) is activated to form the opening through the tubular structure (28i) a predetermined time interval after the signal is received.
