Abstract
A separable tool including a mill section, a mill face disposed on the mill section and having a bore therethrough that is offset from a longitudinal axis of the mill section, a tool adapter section, and a release configuration releasably securing the mill section to the tool adapter section with the mill face disposed between the mill section and the tool adapter section. A method for operating a wellbore system including in a single run, setting a plug in the wellbore system, releasing the plug, pumping cement, dressing the cement, and testing the cement.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A separable tool comprising:
a mill section; a mill face disposed on the mill section and having a bore therethrough that is offset from a longitudinal axis of the mill section; a tool adapter section; and a release configuration releasably securing the mill section to the tool adapter section with the mill face disposed between the mill section and the tool adapter section.
2 . The tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the mill face comprises a plurality of cutters of differing geometry or dimension.
3 . The tool as claimed in claim 2 wherein the cutters define junk slots.
4 . The tool as claimed in claim 3 wherein the junk slots extend longitudinally along a peripheral surface of the mill section.
5 . The tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the bore includes an object seat.
6 . The tool as claimed in claim 1 wherein the release configuration is a shear member.
7 . The tool as claimed in claim 1 further including one or more of a plug, a casing cutter, a casing spear, a pulling tool, a casing anchor, packoffs and casing sealing tools, a punch and wash tool, a perf and wash tool, and valves associated with any of these, and combinations of tools including any of the foregoing.
8 . A method for operating a wellbore system comprising:
in a single run, setting a plug in the wellbore system; releasing the plug; pumping cement; dressing the cement; and testing the cement.
9 . The method as claimed in claim 8 wherein the releasing the plug is by hydraulic pressure or by overpull.
10 . The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein releasing also includes spacing of components of a BHA of which the plug was a part.
11 . The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the pumping includes filling of a space left by the spacing.
12 . The method as claimed in claim 8 further comprising tagging the cement prior to and after dressing the cement.
13 . The method as claimed in claim 8 wherein the testing is setting down weight on the cement.
14 . The method as claimed in claim 8 further comprising operating one or more of a casing cutter, a casing spear, a pulling tool, a casing anchor, packoffs and casing sealing tools, a punch and wash tool, a perf and wash tool, and valves associated with any of these, and combinations of tools including any of the foregoing.
15 . The method as claimed in claim 8 including deploying a separable tool comprising:
a mill section;
a mill face disposed on the mill section and having a bore therethrough that is offset from a longitudinal axis of the mill section;
a tool adapter section; and
a release configuration releasably securing the mill section to the tool adapter section with the mill face disposed between the mill section and the tool adapter section.
16 . A wellbore system comprising:
a borehole in a subsurface formation; a string in the borehole; a separable tool as claimed in claim 1 disposed in or as a part of the string.Cited by (0)
