Well Miller® Reverse Circulating Bit
The Well Miller® Reverse Circulating Bit (RCB) is best described as a tunnel power drill. The E-line equipment is built to reestablish flow in well bores by milling out hard materials and retrieving them to surface. The Well Miller® RCB is able to establish full flow conditions by drilling through even the hardest materials. Unique in the world of E-line interventions is the ability to both drill out and remove cuttings to surface, which is truly a breakthrough technology.
The Well Miller® RCB is operated in conjunction with the field proven Well Tractor® that provides weight on bit and controls the reactive torque of the drilling process. The tool consists of a basic rotational unit (BRU) including electronics, pressure compensator, and electric motor sections. The BRU drives an impeller, which creates the vacuum flow to circulate through the liquid environment tool “dragging” sand into the 0.5 in. intake holes where it will deposit in the sand trap bailers. Depending on the configuration of the tool, a different number of bailer sections can be mounted.
Interventions can be performed in a rig-less environment and with its unique ability to operate exceptionally localized with E-line depth control, the Well Miller® RCB ensures that wells are quickly restored to production.
