Casing Section Milling System: Precision Window Cutting for Sidetrack Drilling

Casing window milling tool: Precision Window Cutting for Sidetrack Drilling

Revolutionizing Casing Exit Operations

Traditional window milling challenges:

-Premature cutter wear → Multiple trips per window

-Inconsistent window geometry → Stuck BHA risks

-Low ROP → 18-36 hours/window

Our solution delivers:

✅ Single-trip windows in 8-12 hours

✅ Smooth window profiles (dogleg severity <5°/100ft)

✅ Guaranteed milling length: 60-100ft per cutter set

Core Technology Breakthroughs

Diamond-Enhanced Cutters

FeatureBenefit
Industrial Diamond Grit8-12x wear resistance vs. tungsten carbide
Vacuum Brazing360° particle encapsulation, zero delamination
Optimized GeometryAggressive cutting with 30% lower weight-on-bit

Patented Stabilization System

-Dual-Action Anchor: Eliminates axial vibration during milling

-Flow-Enhanced Chip Removal: Prevents balling up in gummy formations

Operational Advantages

✅ Unmatched Efficiency

Cut 9-5/8″ casing @ 12-18 ft/hr (industry avg: 6-10 ft/hr)

Complete window in 1 trip (save 24h rig time → $120K/well)

✅ Extended Tool Life

300-400 linear ft milling per cutter set

Replaceable blades reduce tooling costs 60%

✅ Engineered Reliability

Anti-rotation locks prevent junk ring formation

Pressure-balanced for HPHT wells (20,000 psi / 175°C)
