•
1929 – Leo Ranney rudimentary attempts MLs. He drilled a 2.44 m vertical shaft in Ohio, Ohio put men and equipment in the bottom of the hole and they dug horizontal holes– he also drilled in a horizontal radial pattern “spokes pattern, spokes of a wheel wheel” perhaps creating the 1st ML ever.
•
In the 1940’s John Zublin drilled horizontal drain holes for operators in Calif.
•
In 1945 Mr. Zublin eventually reenters 250 wells in Calif., West Texas and Wy Wy. Averaging 2 laterals per well
ML’s are Not New 1939 – Alexander Grigoryan graduated from Azerbaijan Industrial Institute. 1941 – He drilled, drilled what is on record, record the world first directional well (Baku 135) using only Turbo Drills. This directional well led to him to develop a way to increase of production in the same way a “tree root extends to soil”. * * *
In 1953 he drilled (66/45) 9 branches, branches ea leg 80 to 300 m without whipstocks or cement plugs Increased exposure to the pay zone by 5.5 times Increased production by 17 times 110 wells followed from Eastern Siberia to the West Ukraine near the Black Sea.

Level 1
Level 6
Open hole O h l mainbore i b Open hole lateral
Pressure integrity within the junction Level 2 Mainbore cased Open hole lateral
Level 5 Hydraulic isolation at the junction, via completion
