Kazakhstan: SwitchBack Mill Operated ‘On Demand,’ Offering Further Versatility to the Specialized Tools Range
A new client for M-I SWACO required a solution to drill out a DIVERTER-VALVE (DV) tool used in two-stage cementing operations, and scrape an area to set a whipstock required to sidetrack and drill the 6 in section. M-I SWACO Specialized Tools has developed a range of switchable tools that can be run in hole 'dormant' then activated when required, including the SWITCHBACK MILL, using the proven expandable ball seat technology.
