Abstract

A method to condition a portion of a wall (92) surrounding a borehole (90) section drilled in a formation (19) fluid-bearing formation comprising locally injecting a gas to displace working fluid from a laser path adjacent a drill head (50), providing an underbalanced pressure at the portion of the borehole section to be conditioned, impinging laser light on the portion of the wall to be conditioned to melt a component of the formation material (94) in the portion of the bore wall to be conditioned, and drawing fluid from the formation through the solidifying component of the material to create fluid flow passageways to facilitate the flow of fluid from the formation into the borehole section. Injected gas may be provided to the drill head through a conduit within an umbilical that includes a plurality of optical fibers to transmit laser light to the drill head.
