Pilot/Section Milling And Underreaming Tools

Pilot milling is used to mill away complete sections of casing from either the wellhead or the liner hanger down to
desired depth. This is done in conjunction with slot recovery on a fixed platform or to sidetrack in open hole below
the casing shoe. METAL MUNCHER™ Turbo Mills provide extended blades for extra mill life.

In most cases, pilot mills are capable of milling faster than the cuttings can be removed from the well. Section mill-
ing is used to remove the entire casing from a section of the well. Primarily section milling is done in conjunction
with side tracking.

Underreaming tools provide a means to go through a string of casing and open up the wellbore to a larger size.
This can be done to improve a cement job or to expose new formation for a gravel pack. With any of these tools, it
is recommended to run drilling jars, string mills for stabilization and shock subs to minimize vibration at the mill.

METAL MUNCHER
Turbo Pilot Mill
Product Family No. H15121
Description/Application
The METAL MUNCHER Pilot Mill is a
high-performance mill used for milling
washover pipe, casing and liners. The
blade design continuously indexes a new
cutting surface during milling. The insert
design produces small, uniform and easy-
to-handle cuttings. The METAL MUNCH-
ER Turbo Pilot Mill is available with
18-in. (457-mm) blades for slot recovery
and long sections of casing to be milled.
provides a high rate of penetration. This
will require a mud system capable of sus-
pending the cuttings and carrying them to
the surface. Special consideration should
also be given to additional surface equip-
ment to handle cuttings.
METAL MUNCHER Pilot Mills are avail-
able to cut all standard sizes of casing
and can be manufactured for any size.
The mills can be manufactured with a
connection down for milling applications
that are too close to surface to run
sufficient drill collar weight above the mill.
Advantages

Operation • Increased rates of penetration

• Smaller cuttings
The METAL MUNCHER Pilot Mill should
be run with a shock sub and sufficient drill • Long mill life
collars to provide a wide range of milling • Turbo mill has extended blades for
weights. Both weight on mill and RPM longer life

will be determined by penetration rate, • Hardened surfaces on areas of
torque and cuttings removal. Pilot milling high wear
with METAL MUNCHER inserts should
be treated as a machining process rather

The D Section Mill is an inside cutter and
a section mill for sidetracking operations,
as well as for milling perforated casing in
production zones, loose joints of surface
pipe and old casing for cementing new
smaller casing to the formation.
Operation
The D Section Mill should be run with a
minimum of 10,000 lb (4 536 kg) of string
weight in the bottomhole assembly (BHA).
A bit or mill is run to help the tool enter
the hole and stir cuttings during milling
operation. The cut is started slowly, ap-
proximately 2–5 ft (0.6–1.5 m), above
a coupling, then brought to a speed of
80+ RPM for the cut-out. The pump is
started and the number of strokes in-
creased to give a minimum pressure drop
of 400 psi (27.6 bar) across the mandrel
nozzle. During cut-out, approximately
1 in. (25.4 mm) is slacked off in 1/16-in.
tion continues and the pump is stopped
while picking up off the casing. Pressure
is allowed to equalize and rotation is
stopped while picking up into the cas-
ing above the cut point. Pressure is then
resumed and slacked off into the window.
The resulting pressure drop verifies cut-
out and removes any shavings that may
have entered the tool while making the
window cut-out. Milling operations
are continued.
Advantages
• Operates hydraulically for fast,
efficient downhole milling
• Knife design reduces long stringers
and removes casing in short chips
for easy lift and removal by the
drilling fluid
• All six knives are used for the initial
cut-out, reducing cut-out time and

Lockomatic™ Section Mill Dressed

with METAL MUNCHER™ Cutter
Product Family Nos. H15079–H15089

The LOCKOMATIC features a positive, direct lock and unlock mechanism for
expanding drilling and milling tools. The LOCKOMATIC is as reliable as the drill
string itself, because the lock is an extension of the drillstring. There is direct
control of the tool–it's as if the lock were in the driller's hand. The LOCKOMATIC
is unmatched for hole opening, underreaming and casing milling.

Operation
Cutter arms are locked closed during run-in. Tool hang-up is prevented by
a patented feature that damps off downhole hydrostatic pressure from the
pressure ports.

Circulation pressure moves the body and cutters upward by increasing the an-
nular volume between the kelly and upper body. Because the patented LOCKO-
MATIC mandrel lock remains in place as part of the drillstring, the cutter arms
cam out over the mandrel lugs, forcing the cutters to expand. On box down
models when the bit is also cutting, applied drilling weight helps cutter expansion
and maintains cutter expansion.

On reaching gage, the cutters lock in place and stay locked as long as pressure
and/or drilling weight is applied. The tool will not take true drilling weight until the
cutter arms are locked out to full-gage cutting position.

To retrieve, release pressure and pick up on tool. This retracts the mandrel lock
from under the cutters. If chips and cuttings penetrate the collapsing mechanism,
the pull of the draw works will force obstructions out of the way and close cutter
arms. Springs and hydraulics are not involved. The LOCKOMATIC retrieves as
easily as the drillstring. Tool sizes range from 3-3/4 in. (95.2 mm) closed gage to
48 in. (1 219.2 mm) open gage.

Advantages
• Fast run-in
• Positive expansion
• Positive locking
• Positive unlocking
• Multiple applications: hole opening,
underreaming and casing cutting
