Abstract: A millable bridge plug system includes a mandrel having an upper portion and a lower portion with an interlock, a shearing member attached at the upper portion, a sealing member, ring members, cone assemblies, slip devices, and an interlocking drill member at a lower portion of the mandrel. The interlock of the mandrel and the interlocking drill member are modular so that one bridge plug interchangeably connects to another bridge plug. The interlocks are compatible with interlocking drill members of other bridge plugs and vice versa. The interlocking drill member has rotatable cutting blades to drill through sand and other debris between the interlocking drill member and the next bridge plug to be removed. A milling unit can drive rotation of the interlocking drill member to reach the next bridge plug for removal, until the interlocking drill member engages the adjacent interlock of the next bridge plug to be removed.
