Abstract
A laser tool apparatus includes a tool body; a fiber optic cable disposed in the tool body, the fiber optic cable including a laser head that emits a laser beam; a reshape optic disposed coaxially downstream of the fiber optic, the reshape optic reshaping the laser beam emitted from the laser head; and a flexible cable attached to the reshape optic. The flexible cable flexibly orients the laser beam at a desired angle within a borehole.
Claims20
A laser tool apparatus comprising:
- a tool body;
- a fiber optic cable disposed in the tool body, the fiber optic cable comprising a laser head that emits a laser beam;
- a reshape optic disposed coaxially downstream of the fiber optic, the reshape optic reshaping the laser beam emitted from the laser head;
- and
- a flexible cable attached to the reshape optic,
- where the flexible cable flexibly orients the laser beam at a desired angle within a borehole, and
- where the reshape optic comprises a cylindrical body and a cone-shaped top portion, where the cone-shaped top portion receives the laser beam from the fiber optic cable.
