Abstract

The invention relates to a method of installing a permanent non-obstructive depth and orientation reference in an open hole allowing drilling of a lateral and re-entry in said lateral or in the main borehole and a device for the implementation of said method. According to the invention the method comprises the following steps: positioning a locating assembly at a pre-determined section of the open hole, below the location of the desired lateral; and securing the positioning of the locating assembly in the open hole by pumping cement or injecting resin into the annular space comprised between the outside wall of said locating assembly and the open hole wall.
