German term or phrase: Ablenkungen
Infillbohrungen und Ablenkungen

An gezielt ausgewaehlten Lokationen lassen sich jedoch bei Reduktion der Bohrkosten, z.B. durch ABLENKEN geeigneter Foerdersonden mit feldeseigenen Winden, wirtschafliche Infill-Projekte realisieren. Ob horizontale
ABLENKUNGEN oder solche mit hohen Neigungswinkeln mit den vorhandenen Oelfeldwinden realisert werden koennen,

I have been using deflections but do not think it's the correct term. I don't think it would be a horizontal drill hole because those are discussed in another section.

Explanation:
I think it's "diverting" that you want.
See this link:

What I think is happening is they are trying to be cost-efficient by reusing existing tunnels instead of drilling new ones. Other ways of putting it could include "branching off", "ramifying", "deviating".
