Abstract
A method for boring a well with a laser beam is provided, the method comprising: shining the laser beam into a conduit, wherein the laser beam is guided through the conduit by the internal reflectivity of said conduit; and extending the conduit into the well, so that the laser beam exiting the conduit shines onto an area in the well to be bored. A system for boring a well with a laser beam is also provided, the system comprising: a means for shining the laser beam into a conduit; wherein the laser beam is guided through the conduit by the internal reflectivity of said conduit; and a means for extending the conduit into the well, so that the laser beam exiting the conduit shines onto an area in the well to be bored. An apparatus is provided as well, comprising a conduit that is extendable into the well, and an inner surface inside of the conduit, wherein the inner surface is reflective to the laser beam.
