There was 1,200 ft of 9 5/8-in.casingtomillinside the 13 3/8-in. at a hole angle of 55 degrees. A review of thecasingtally revealed there were no centralizers on the 9 5/8-in.casing.Two days later and 200 ft ofmilled casing,the average removal rate was 100 ft per day. It would take an additional ten days to complete themillingoperation

The aim of sectionmillingis to grind away a portion ofcasingandcement.While sectionmillingthecasing,the hole needs to be kept clean by removal of produced swarf and other debris. The term swarf is used for metal fillings or shavings created by themillingtool during thecasingremoval process. The opened window needs to be under-reamed to expose new formation

Oct 30, 2017· Sectionmillingis normally needed when there’s not a verifiable barrier (cement) behind thecasingand between the formation (eithercementor creeping shale – OE: July 2017). This allows a new barrier to be set. According to regulations that barrier must be 50m across two sections, in Norway; or 30m across two sections, in the UK
