Laser on surface or within drilling tubing applies infrared energy to the working face of the borehole. The downhole assembly includes sensors that measure standard geophysical formation information, as well as imaging of the borehole wall, all in real time. Excavated material is circulated to the surface as solid particles 6 7 System Vision ! ! When desired, some or all of the excavated material is melted and forced into and against the wall rock. The ceramic thus formed can replace the steel casing currently used to line well bores to stabilize the well and to control abnormal pressures. 8 System Vision ! ! When the well bore reaches its target depth, the well is completed by using the same laser emergy to
