  • Publication number: 20210207448
    Abstract: A machining unit is for milling material off an, in the position of application, surrounding pipe wall in a borehole in an underground structure. The machining unit is connected to a rotary-drive unit arranged to provide a controlled peripheral speed in a milling unit, and is connected to an axial-drive unit arranged to provide a controlled axial displacement of at least the milling unit, and is connected to a conduit for the supply of fluid. The milling unit is provided with at least two rotatable milling heads which are evenly distributed the periphery of the machining unit and are displaceable, via a milling-head actuator, in the radial direction of the milling unit, and which are connected via a transmission to a pressure-fluid-driven motor arranged in the machining unit.

  • Patent number: 9932789
    Abstract: A feeding device is for a rotatable downhole tool. The feeding device is provided with several feeding wheels lying in a plane which is slanted relative to a plane which is perpendicular to the center axis of the downhole tool. A method is for feeding a downhole tool axially by the use of the feeding device, when working a portion of a surrounding pipe body.

  • Patent number: 8931555
    Abstract: There is described a device for machining apparatus arranged for machining of a portion of a casing positioned in a wellbore, wherein a return fluid conduit extends from the machining apparatus in a direction toward a deposit area arranged in the wellbore. Also described is a method for machining of a portion of a casing positioned in a wellbore, wherein the method comprises the steps of: arranging a return fluid conduit between a machining apparatus and a deposit area or an area connected to the deposit area, providing a particle carrying liquid flow (M) in a direction from the machining apparatus and toward the deposit area, during the machining of the casing leading metal shavings into the liquid flow (M), and directing the liquid flow (M) into the return fluid conduit, as the metal shavings are held back and deposited in the wellbore.
