Patent ID: 12000225

Abstract:
A section mill having a tubular mill body is attached to a carrier pipe string such as a coiled tubing string. A translatable elongated tubular piston mandrel is positioned within the mill body to receive a flow of fluid from a central fluid bore in the carrier pipe string. The tubular piston mandrel has attached upper and lower pistons respectively positioned within upper and lower piston chambers in the mill body. The pistons move the piston mandrel vertically upward and downward in response to fluid pressure generated by fluid from the tubular piston mandrel. Longitudinally adjustable plungers are attached to the tubular piston mandrel. Cutter shoes are mounted to the adjustable plunger by pivotally attached yoke links. The yoke links and cutter shoes pivot radially inward and outward by upward and downward movement of the tubular piston mandrel and the attached adjustable plungers.
