Abstract: Collapsable exit whipstocks and methods of using the same. An example collapsible exit whipstock has a lateral isolation sleeve having a body comprising a first terminal end and a second terminal end. The body engages with an interior surface of a completion system and has a throughbore running having a diameter. The collapsable exit whipstock has a whipstock with a coupling end that is coupled to the first terminal end of the lateral isolation sleeve and a tapered end opposite of the coupling end. The whipstock has slots opening at the tapered end and spaced along the longitudinal axis of the whipstock. Fingers are disposed between the slots and are configured to be pressed together such that the length of the whipstock that comprises the slots collapses radially inwards thereby reducing the throughbore diameter of the whipstock.

Abstract: A method of making sampling tubes containing culture growth media by loading the sample tubes containing culture media into a tray that holds the sample tubes, placing the sample tube trays into a rack with shelving to hold the trays and tubes at a predetermined angle, and sterilizing and cooling the sample tubes in an autoclave or inspissator. The culture growth media solidifies at the predetermined slant angle and the sample tube trays are loaded into the packaging box used for shipment. The trays are subsequently used by the end user for processing microbial growth, including storing and collecting data about microbial samples.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for drilling and completing multiple wellbores from a single drilling rig and from within a single wellhead is provided. In one embodiment, a template is disposed at a predetermined location downhole within a casing. In one aspect, a first casing string is lowered with the template to the predetermined location and disposed within a first wellbore. A second wellbore may be drilled through a bore in the template. A second casing string may then be lowered through the bore into the second wellbore. In another embodiment, at least two wellbores are drilled and completed from a surface casing having a crossover portion.
