METHODS AND MECHANISMS FOR DRILLING TRANSVERSELY IN A WELL ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION Two methods and four mechanisms are disclosed for drilling at right angles to a vertical well at and location or depth in the well. The drilling mechanisms each comprises a flexible spring biased telescopic fluid conduit having a turbodrill on the lower end thereof for extending from an open- ing in the side of an elongated cylindrical hous- ing for drilling at right angles to the well. The flexible spring biased telescopic fluid conduit comprises a plurality of axially aligned spools with cylinders interconnecting the adjacent ends of adjacent spools and with a compression spring in each cylinder between the two adjacent spool ends for permitting flexibility and telescopic action of the fluid conduit while resisting high compression and torque loads. Rubber-like rings and serrations increase the friction between the telescopic spools and cylinders, and tongue-and- groove splines between the flexible spring biased telescopic fluid conduit and the elongated cylin- drical housing increase friction for receiving torque loads in the right angled drilling mechanism. A method for drilling in a transverse direction from a vertical well and a method for forming and assembling a drilling mechanism for drilling at right angles to a vertical well in a well are disclosed.
