ABSTRACT:
A method of servicing a wellbore comprises running a toolstring into a wellbore to a first depth, actuating a controllably rotating sub-assembly of the toolstring to rotate, and activating a pressure activated bendable sub-assembly of the toolstring to bend, wherein actuating the controllably rotating sub-assembly to rotate and activating the pressure activate bendable sub-assembly are performed in any sequence or concurrently. The method also comprises running the toolstring into the wellbore beyond the first depth and stabbing the toolstring into a window in a wall of the wellbore to enter a lateral wellbore, wherein no whipstock is used to facilitate stabbing into the window. The method further includes running the toolstring into the lateral wellbore and performing a wellbore servicing operation in the lateral wellbore.
