Expandable Mill

Clean casing ID after perforation and minimize casing wear with deactivated blades

The Sharp Razor expandable mill removes perforating burrs and other debris from the inside diameter (ID) of the casing during post-perforating operations. This operation is essential to ensure successful installation of completion equipment. This mill deburrs while minimizing casing wear during prolonged rotation by retracting the mill’s blades.

Tungsten carbide coated blades are arranged to achieve 360° contact with the ID without requiring pipe rotation. Ball-drop deactivation retracts the blades away from the casing wall as needed when the cleaning operation is complete. Full flow is maintained through the tool throughout the operation.

The expandable mill is available in 7.00-in. and 9.63-in. casing sizes.
