Milling Tools and Shoe

Milling Tools are designed to mill away stuck fish that cannot be retrieved by conventional fishing methods. These tools are primarily used to mill away metal objects, mill out the bottom of liners or casing, or remove wellbore restrictions. Milling Tools are paired with Milling Shoes and Rotary Shoes for fishing and wash-over operations to dress a stuck fish so that a grappling or retrieving tool may engage the fish.

Milling Shoes are used to mill over and free stuck packers, spears, stabilizers, string reamers, rock bits or any metal objects which cannot be removed from the well with conventional fishing procedures and fishing tools. Rotary Shoes are used for washing over stuck pipe to cut away shales, clay, sand, salt, limestone, cement, anhydrite, red beds and other formations.
