Abstract
A method includes deploying a bottom hole assembly downhole into a wellbore lined with a casing. While the bottom hole assembly is deployed downhole, the bottom hole assembly is used to: place a guiding profile within the wellbore casing, wherein the guiding profile is structured to physically guide a downhole drill in a direction different from that of a longitudinal axis of the casing; cut a window in the casing with a laser cutter; and withdraw at least one cut portion of the casing away from the window. A related bottom hole assembly includes: a laser cutter for cutting a window in a wellbore casing; a withdrawal mechanism for withdrawing at least one cut portion of the casing away from the cut window; and a releasable guiding profile structured to physically guide a downhole drill in a direction away from the wellbore casing.
