EZ Drill® Squeeze Packer
The EZ Drill® squeeze packers are poppet-valve cement
retainers for remedial cementing operations. Unlike some
squeeze packers, workstring manipulation does not open or
close the poppet valve. The poppet valve allows operators to
place cement below the packer and check backflow.
The EZ Drill squeeze packers are ideal for recementing and
high-volume squeeze cementing operations.
Features and Benefits
• Can be set mechanically or hydraulically on jointed pipe
or coiled tubing, electric wireline, or slickline using the
Halliburton DPU® downhole power unit
• Tool OD held to a minimum, allowing more clearance
between the tool and casing for faster run-in
• Effective setting and sealing in elevated temperatures
and pressures
• Squeeze pressure maintained on perforations in the zone
by a backpressure valve that holds pressure from below
and offers little resistance to fluid movement from above
Operation
When the packer is run to setting depth, the steel hose and
swivel are hooked to the top of the drillpipe, and circulation
begins. During circulation through the pipe or tubing, the
packer is worked up and down, which clears debris from the
packer and packer seat.
After circulation is stopped, the workstring is rotated the
specified number of clockwise turns. This rotation moves the
setting sleeve downward so that it unlatches the lock ring and
sets the top packer slips.
A series of applied pulls and hesitations are then used until
the tension sleeve parts. These pulls and hesitations allow the
packer rubbers to properly expand and contact the casing ID.
Pressuring up to 2,000 psi (13.79 MPa) below the packer
as it sets helps set the top packer slips. The pressure is
released before the tension sleeve parts so that the packer’s
internal seal is not damaged. After the tension sleeve
parts, the maximum permissible tubing weight is applied
on the packer, which helps set the slips and packer element
more tightly.
The setting tool is then pulled above the packer, and the
workstring is rotated so that the setting tool is placed in the
operating position. The poppet valve is opened by fluid
moving through the valve.

EZ Drill® SV Squeeze Packer
The EZ Drill® SV (sliding valve) squeeze packer provides
effective setting and sealing even under high pressures and
temperatures. Although primarily used for squeeze
cementing, the EZ Drill SV squeeze packer can also be used
as a bridge plug or as a means of pressure testing a
workstring. Regardless of its use, this tool can be run in
quickly and drilled out easily.
The EZ Drill SV squeeze packer can achieve a positive set
and seal, regardless of pressure direction because the packer
elements, slips, and other components are specially designed
to set and seal at high pressures, yet offer little resistance
to drillout.
Because of the packers’ small diameters, they can be used in a
wider range of casing sizes and weights. The small-diameter
feature also permits more clearance with casing ID, which
lessens the danger of premature setting.
The EZ Drill SV squeeze packer has a sliding-sleeve valve
that allows the tool to function like a bridge plug until the
squeeze operation. The pressure-balanced, sliding-sleeve
valve maintains squeeze pressure on the perforations
when closed.
Operated by pipe reciprocation, the valve seals the packer
against fluid movement in either direction. Sliding the valve
down to open allows fluid movement through the tool. Side
ports in the tool allow unobstructed fluid flow.
Setting Procedures
Operators can use one of the following types of equipment to
set EZ Drill SV squeeze packer:
• Coiled tubing setting tools
• Mechanical setting tools
• DPU® downhole power unit
Features and Benefits
• Controls flow and pressure differential from
either direction
• Can be used to pressure test the workstring
• Converts to a top-drilling bridge plug
• Sets mechanically or on wireline
• Can be set in wider ranges of casing grades
• Can be run in the hole quickly

EZ Drill® SVB Squeeze Packer
The EZ Drill® SVB (sliding valve
brass) squeeze packer has a brass
mandrel that is stronger and more
ductile than cast-iron mandrels. As a
result, the packer can absorb greater
tensile and impact loads as well as
greater internal pressures. The brass
mandrel is easily drilled.
The valve arrangement helps improve
performance in high-temperature and
high-pressure areas, especially when
the valve is cycled repeatedly. The
valve also performs well when cycled
under conditions in which fluid
cannot be held static, especially when
there is pressure or flow from below.
Features and Benefits
• Controls flow and pressure
differential in either direction
• Allows workstring pressure testing
• Runs in quickly
• Sets in a wide range of casing grades
• Contains rugged brass mandrel,
improved slips, and improved
sliding-valve seals
• Can be set on electric wireline,
slickline, coiled tubing, and
jointed pipe
• Can be set mechanically or
hydraulically
• Converts to a top-drilling
bridge plug
Operation
When the packer is run to setting
depth, the steel hose and swivel are
hooked to the top of the drillpipe
and circulation begins. During
circulation through the pipe or
tubing, the packer is worked up and
down, which clears debris from the
packer and packer seat.
After circulation is stopped, the
workstring is rotated the specified
number of clockwise turns. This
rotation moves the setting sleeve
downward so that it unlatches the
lock ring and sets the top packer slips.
A series of applied pulls and
hesitations allow the packer elements
to expand properly and contact the
casing ID until tension sleeve parts.
Pressuring up to 2,000 psi (13.79 MPa)
below the packer as it is being set is an
option to help set the top packer slips.
The pressure is released before the
tension sleeve parts so that the
packer’s internal seal is not damaged.
After the tension sleeve parts, the
maximum permissible tubing weight
is applied on the packer, which helps
set the slips and packer element
more tightly.
The setting tool is then pulled above
the packer, and the workstring is
rotated so the setting tool is placed in
the operating position. The sliding
valve can then be opened, and fluids
can be pumped through the packer.

EZ Drill® Premium Squeeze Packer with MCC Buttons
The EZ Drill® premium squeeze
packers with metallic-ceramic-
composite (MCC) buttons are sliding-
valve packers primarily used for
squeeze cementing. These tools are
specifically designed to work in casing
grades of Q125 or higher. The tools are
constructed of frangible materials such
as cast iron, brass, aluminum, and
rubber, making this tool easily drilled.
The valve arrangement helps improve
performance in high-temperature and
high-pressure areas, especially when
the valve is cycled repeatedly. The valve
also performs well when it is cycled
under conditions in which fluid cannot
be held static, especially when there is
pressure or flow from below the tool.
Features and Benefits• Sets in casing grades greater than
Q125
• Controls flow and pressure
differential in either direction
• Allows workstring pressure testing
• Runs in quickly
• Can be set on electric line, slickline,
coiled tubing, and jointed pipe
• Can be set mechanically or
hydraulically
• Converts to a top-drilling
bridge plug
OperationWhen the packer is run to setting depth
using a mechanical setting tool, the
steel hose and swivel are hooked to the
top of the drillpipe and circulation
begins. During circulation through the
pipe or tubing, the packer is worked up
and down, which clears debris from the
packer and packer seat.
After circulation is stopped, the
workstring is rotated the specified
number of clockwise turns. This
rotation moves the setting sleeve
downward so that it unlatches the lock
ring and sets the top packer slips.
A series of applied pulls and hesitations
allow the packer elements to expand
properly and contact the casing ID until
the tension sleeve parts.
Pressuring up to 2,000 psi (13.79 MPa)
below the packer as it is beginning to
set is an option to help set the top
packer slips.
The pressure must be released before
the tension sleeve parts so that the
packer's internal seal is not damaged.
After the tension sleeve parts, the
maximum permissible tubing weight is
applied on the packer, which helps set
the slips and packer elements more
tightly. The setting tool is then pulled
above the packer, and the workstring is
rotated so that the setting tool is placed
in the operating position. The sliding
valve can then be opened, and fluids
can be pumped through the packer.

EZ Drill® SV Openhole Squeeze Packers
EZ Drill® SV (sliding valve) openhole
squeeze packers are sliding-valve
cement retainers for openhole remedial
cementing operations. The packers are
built from cast iron, brass, aluminum,
and rubber to provide unsurpassed
drillability. These packers can be set on
slickline, coiled tubing, or jointed pipe
with either a mechanical or hydraulic
setting tool.
EZ Drill SV openhole squeeze packers
have a stinger-operated sliding valve
that controls pressure from both
directions. Workstring manipulation
opens and closes the sliding valve.
When weight is placed on the set
packer, the sliding valve opens. When
pipe weight is lifted from the packer
and the stinger is removed from the
packer bore, the sliding valve closes.
This feature isolates the cement below
the packer from the pressure and fluid
above the packer.
The most outstanding design features
of EZ Drill SV openhole squeeze
packers are their downhole pressure
control and drillability.
Openhole squeeze packers allow for
remedial cementing operations in
openhole wells and provide downhole
pressure control both above and below
the packer.
EZ Drill SV openhole squeeze packers
drill up with conventional tricone drill
bits or junk-style mills.

Casing Alignment Tool
Severe corrosive action, excess tensile loading, or joint
back-off during drilling operations may part casing strings.
Sometimes these parted sections become misaligned, thereby
making well operations very difficult.
In this case, the well operator must either abandon
further work below this point or realign and stabilize the
parted casing.
Casing Alignment
The Halliburton casing alignment tool has been used to
successfully realign and permanently stabilize many parted
casing strings. The casing alignment tool is made up by
connecting threads at the lower end of the EZ Drill®
(poppet valve) squeeze packer. The EZ Drill SVB squeeze
packer may be used in conjunction with a poppet-type valve
adapter kit. When lowered into the well, the tapered nose of
the alignment tool guides the main body into the shifted
lower casing (Figure 1).
Continued lowering forces the larger, close-fitting outer case
of the alignment tool into the lower casing string to align the
casing sections.
Casing Stabilization
The EZ Drill (or adapted EZ Drill SVB) squeeze packer is set
by tubing or drillpipe to pack off within the upper string. The
packer forms an upper seal for placement of permanent
stabilizing cement behind the realigned casing and holds the
alignment tool in place across the parted section of the
casing. Cement slurry is then pumped through the squeeze
packer and the alignment tool filling the casing and the
formation annular space, surrounding the casing alignment
tool (Figure 2). After the cement has set, the squeeze packer,
alignment tool, and cement are drilled out with a
conventional rock bit, leaving a uniform diameter passage
through the casing ID (Figure 3). The new cement barrier
also helps isolate the casing interior from formation fluid or
gas intrusion.

Equipment
After the problem well is evaluated, the proper alignment
tool is built. Casing alignment tools are custom
manufactured for specific jobs because of the variety of
diameter/length combinations possible. Alignment tool ODs
vary according to individual casing weights to minimize
clearance between the alignment tool and the casing ID. This
helps establish minimum alignment variation between upper
and lower realigned casing sections. Alignment tool lengths
vary because casing separation lengths vary as do the lengths
of damaged casing. Experience proves that 10 ft of alignment
tool should extend into good pipe on both sides of the
damaged or parted casing.
As mentioned, the lower end of EZ Drill® (poppet valve)
squeeze packers have threads to attach the alignment tool.
EZ Drill squeeze packers are not made for casings 7 5/8 in. or
larger, so the EZ Drill SVB squeeze packer plus poppet valve
conversion kit is needed to attach the alignment tool. This
conversion kit also changes the packer from side discharge to
bottom discharge so cement slurry will flow through the
alignment tool and exit at the lower end.
The casing alignment tool is available in 4 1/2 to 20-in. sizes.

DrillGun™ Assembly (EZSVB)
The DrillGun™ assembly is a drillable
perforating system that provides
reliable, quality performance while
lowering overall wellsite costs by:
• Eliminating the high costs
associated with wireline services.
• Eliminating the need to switch to a
mud system for workovers.
The DrillGun perforating system
combines rugged, reliable Halliburton
perforating components with the
versatility of drillable materials. The
DrillGun perforating system is a
drillable, disposable system that helps
save time and money.
Components of the drillable perforating
system are drillpipe conveyed to the zone
of interest; thereby eliminating
mobilization or demobilization charges
normally associated with wireline units.
And, since no mud system is needed,
clear fluids can remain in place for
workover operations. When the
EZ Drill® SVB packer is set, the firing
head is actuated by pressure applied
through the tubing. After perforating,
the gun can be drilled out with
conventional drilling methods.
The drillable perforating system is
ideal for:
• Single-trip perforating, packer
placement, and cementing
on tubing.
• Cementing and perforating in
underbalanced conditions.
• Plug-to-abandon operations.
• Workover cementing with
clear fluids.
• Plugback set on wireline.
• Limited entry drillstem testing.
Components of the drillable
perforating system include:
• Aluminum perforating gun.
• High-performance, perforating
charges.
• Halliburton’s industry-proven
EZ Drill SVB packer.
• Also available in select sizes with
Fas Drill® SVB and composite gun
systems. For more information,

Drilling Instructions for EZ Drill® Tools
Suggested Drilling Technique for DrillableSqueeze Packers and Bridge Plugs
The best technique for drilling squeeze packers and bridge
plugs will vary with available equipment, but in general, the
following is suggested as a guide when drilling with rotary
equipment:
A junk basket should be placed above the bit when normal
circulation is employed.
Variations in rotary speed and bit weight should be employed
to help break up the metal parts and to reestablish bit
penetration should it cease while drilling. Penetration
stoppage because of “bit tracking” may require picking the bit
up above the drilling surface. Rapid bit contact and weight
application while continuing rotation will aid in breaking up
the established bit pattern and help to reestablish bit
penetration.
Note: Newer generation “cyber” rigs may require jars run in the
drilling bottomhole assembly be activated to impact the EZ
Drill SV tools and help establish penetration.
Additional information on drilling and milling of packers
can be found in the Drillable Tools Manual.
Suggested Milling Technique for DrillableSqueeze Packers and Bridge Plugs
This information is provided as a guide to be used if the
customer has no choice and must rely on milling to remove a
drillable packer. It is suggested that removal be accomplished
by drilling with a rock bit if possible.
• Mill tool: Junk type
• Bit type: Short- or medium-toothed hard-formation bit
(IADC Codes 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, and 3-1)
• Rotary speed: 75 to 120 rpm
• Weight on bit: Apply 5,000 to 7,000 lb (2268 to 3175 kg)
until the top end of the packer mandrel is drilled,
(4 to 5 in. or 102 to 127 mm) and weight can be applied
across the full bit diameter, then increase to 2,000 to
3,000 lb (907 to 1361 kg) per inch of bit diameter to drill
out the remainder of the packer. (With 4 3/4-in. bit, use
9,500 to 14,000 lb or 4309 to 6350 kg).
• Drill collars: As required for weight and bit stabilization.
When reverse circulation is to be employed, casing scrapers
should have fluid passages as large as that through the bit so
cuttings will not tend to bridge at that point.
Some manufacturers produce a short version especially for
packer drilling.
• Rotation: 60 to 150 rpm
• Weight on mill: 5,000 to 8,000 lb (2268 to 3629 kg)
Additional Tips
1. Be sure to eliminate repeated particle milling by
removing cuttings from the milling area. Mill
manufacturers recommend mud viscosity of 60 CPS
and a minimum annular velocity of 120 ft/min
(36.58 m/min) to assure cutting removal.
2. Never start a mill on the target packer. Begin rotation a
foot or so above the target and slowly lower the mill
onto the target.
3. Never apply weight in excess of the recommended
amount. Excess weight could cause tearing out large
chunks of the target packer. A bailer trip might then be
necessary to remove these chunks, which can roll
around under the mill, before penetration can be re-
established.
4. Maintain a constant milling rate by continually
slacking off weight. Never allow the mill to drill off.

Fas Drill® Squeeze Packer
The Fas Drill® squeeze packer has a one-way poppet-valve
cement retainer that checks backflow and pressure from
below the packer after remedial cementing operations.
Designed for use at temperatures ranging from 50 to 250°F
(10 to 121°C), the packer has minimal ferrous metal content,
which allows for easy drillout. The poppet does not restrict
fluid movement through the packer from above.
Features and Benefits
• Each tool consists of composites and a packer set with
only minimal ferrous metal content.
• The packer can be drilled out with conventional tricone,
PDC, or junk-mill bits.
• The packer can function as cement retainers in squeeze
cementing operations on land-based or offshore rigs, in
vertical or deviated wells.
• The composite packer design reduces drillout time,
resulting in shorter rig times and less likelihood of
casing damage.
Operation
During operation, the packer operating mandrel (stinger) is
inserted into the packer bore, where it seals the workstring
and distributes weight to the slips and packer rubbers. The
maximum allowable pipe weight is then set on the packer for
a tighter fit. During operation, hydraulic forces can add or
subtract weight on the packer. Before using the packer,
operators should complete hydraulic calculations to prevent
overloading or pumpout.
Setting Procedures
Operators can use one of the following types of equipment
to set Fas Drill packers:
• Electric wireline setting tools
• Slickline setting tools
• Coiled tubing setting tools
• Mechanical setting tools

Fas Drill® SVB Squeeze Packer
The Fas Drill® SVB (sliding valve
brass) packer has a stinger-operated
sliding valve that holds pressure from
both directions. The sliding valve is
opened and closed with workstring
manipulation. When weight is placed
on the set packer, the sliding valve
opens. When pipe weight is lifted
from the packer and the stinger is
removed from the packer bore, the
sliding valve closes, which isolates
cement below the packer from the
pressure and fluid above the packer.
The Fas Drill SVB squeeze packer is
designed for use at temperatures
ranging from 50 to 250°F (10 to
121°C), and differential pressures up
to 5,000 psi (34.47 MPa). The packer
has minimal ferrous metal content,
which allows for easy drillout.
Features and Benefits
• Consists of composites and a packer
set with only minimal ferrous
metal content
• Can be drilled out with
conventional tricone, PDC, or
junk-mill bits
• Functions as cement retainer in
squeeze cementing operations
on land-based or offshore rigs,
in vertical, deviated, or
horizontal wells
• Design reduces drillout time,
resulting in shorter rig times and
less likelihood of casing damage
• Packer stinger design allows for the
seal to be carried on the stinger and
not internal to the packer, thus
improving its drillability
Operation
After circulation is stopped, the
workstring is rotated the specified
number of clockwise turns. This
rotation moves the setting sleeve
downward so that it unlatches the lock
ring and sets the top packer slips.
A series of applied pulls and hesitations
allow the packer elements to expand
properly and contact the casing ID until
the shear screws shear.
During operation, the packer
operating mandrel (stinger) is inserted
into the packer bore, where it seals the
workstring and distributes weight to
the slips and packer rubbers. The
maximum allowable pipe weight is
then set on the packer for a tighter fit.
During operation, hydraulic forces
can add or subtract weight on the
packer. Before using the packer,
operators should complete hydraulic
calculations to prevent overloading or
pump-out.
Setting Procedures
Operators can use one of the following
types of equipment to set Fas Drill
SVB squeeze packers:
• Electric wireline setting tools

Fas Drill® Fusion Plugs
Fas Drill® Fusion bridge and frac plugs
are part of the Halliburton advanced
composite line of drillable equipment.
These tools offer industry-exceptional
drillout performance while maintaining
differential pressure ratings of
10,000 psi at 325°F. The tools are
specifically designed to provide zonal
isolation of the horizontal wellbore
between multi-zone stimulation
treatments.
To enhance reliability in high debris or
horizontal applications, the Fas Drill
Fusion tools are equipped with solid
slip rings, a single element package, and
a one-piece extrusion limiter (retaining
bands not required) that are press-fit
into each single-piece element package
end. This allows for run-in speeds in
excess of 500 ft/min in vertical sections
and 250 ft/min in horizontal sections,
all while being able to pump at rates in
excess of 14 bbl/min passed the tools.
Fas Drill Fusion plugs are available in:
• Bridge plugs – Offer isolation from
above the isolation point or below.
All Halliburton bridge plugs are
top drilling.
• Frac plugs – Designed to only isolate
from above the plug. The ball check
valve in the top allows pressure and
flow from below to assist in wellbore
cleanup after stimulation. The ball
can be run in place or dropped from
surface after the plug is set.
• Caged ball frac plugs – Designed to
only isolate from above the plug. The
ball check valve in the top is captured
and allows pressure and flow from
below to assist in wellbore cleanup
after stimulation. It is specifically
designed for deviated wellbores
where it may be difficult to obtain a
seal with a free-floating ball.
Features and Benefits
• Premier plug for horizontal
applications
• Bridge plug holds pressure from
both above and below
• Frac plug holds pressure from above
but allows flowback from below
• Can be used in vertical or deviated
wellbores
• Run-in speeds in horizontal
sections in excess of 250 ft/min and
speeds in vertical sections in excess
of 500 ft/min
• Pump rates passed the tool in excess
of 14 bbl/min (without
pumpdown ring)
• Caged ball frac plug can be
converted to bridge plug
• No metal shear screws required
to set
• Drills out with conventional sealed
tricone bits, PDC bits, or mills with
jointed pipe or coiled tubing
• Locking thread mechanism for

250-Series Fas Drill® Frac Plugs with Foam
Halliburton offers a 250-series composite Fas Drill® frac plug
that allows the plug to be pumped down casing strings where
the liners are placed in the horizontal section of the wellbore.
The foam plug allows the plug to be pumped in the large
casing above the liner, reducing the fluid amount needed to
get the plugs to depth. These plugs offer exceptional drillout
performance while maintaining differential pressure ratings
of up to 10,000 psi, depending on wellbore temperature. The
250-series of tools are specifically designed to provide zonal
isolation of the horizontal wellbore between multi-zone
stimulation treatments.
A Gun Deployment System (GDS) is also available to allow
perforating guns to be pumped down through the larger
casing and horizontal liner hanger systems without the need
to set and utilize a drillable tool. This system uses the foam
plug system with Halliburton's composite material body.

applications, these bridge plugs are equipped with
stronger slip bands and are attached to the mandrel with
shearable composite pins. This allows run-in speeds in
horizontal sections in excess of 250 ft/min and speeds in
vertical sections in excess of 400 ft/min.
• Consists of composites and a packer set with no metal
content.
• Isolates a lower zone during squeeze cementing
operations on land-based or offshore rigs, in vertical or
deviated wells.

Composite Plugs with Pumpdown Feature
As the industry has shifted to more deviated and horizontal
applications, it has become a standard practice to pump
composite tools down to depth. In most cases, the
bottomhole assemblies (BHA) include some type of depth
correlation device, wireline gun systems, wireline setting
tools, and the composite plug. In some instances, getting this
large BHA to depth was difficult due to limited hydraulic
horsepower at surface to achieve a high enough rate to pump
these tools down. To help facilitate getting the tools to depth,
Halliburton developed Fas Drill® plugs and Obsidian® plugs
with pumpdown feature. This feature allows the same BHAs
to be pumped to depth with significantly reduced pump rates
over tools that do not have this feature—in most cases a
reduction of up to 50%. This feature includes a separately
installed rubber ring that reduces the gap between the overall
tool OD and the ID of the casing. The Halliburton
pumpdown ring’s unique design allows it to fall back on itself
to reduce the ring OD should a reduced ID be encountered,
allowing the tool to pass through. This feature does not affect
the overall tool performance or types of setting equipment
that can be used.
Setting Procedures
Operators can use one of the following types of equipment to
set the composite plugs with pumpdown feature:
• Electric wireline setting tools
• Slickline setting tools
• Hydraulic setting tools
Features and Benefits
• Available in select sizes for both frac plugs and
bridge plugs
• Facilitates pumping the bottomhole assembly to depth at
reduced pump rates

Drilling Instructions for Fas Drill® Tools
Removal Techniques for Fas Drill Drillable Tools
The Fas Drill® line has been designed to provide the best
drillability of any cement retainer and plugs in the energy
business today. All materials used in the construction of
these packers are selected for their blend of performance and
drillability. Even with this design consideration, there are
best practices for drilling the Fas Drill tools.
Note: Whenever possible, spot cement on top of the squeeze
packer after remedial cementing. This helps reduce the
possibility of packer part rotation.
The best drilling/milling technique will vary with the
equipment that will be used to drill or mill the packer or
plug. There follows four techniques, drilling while circulating
down the workstring, drilling while reverse-circulating,
milling the packer with conventional methods, and milling /
drilling with coiled tubing.
Note: If at any time progress through the packer/plug stops,
slow the rotary speed, set more weight, set less weight, slow
circulation rate, or do combinations of the preceding. Changes
in drilling style can help to break up pieces that are not
breaking with the following drilling practice.
Milling With Coiled Tubing
Milling Fas Drill tools with coiled tubing is a process that has
a great deal of variables. The following recommendations are
guidelines that have been developed from field data but do
not fully represent all the means for drilling up Fas Drill tools
with coiled tubing. Modifications to the following methods
may be needed to optimize individual milling processes.
Milling the Packer/Plug
Rig up milling assembly on coiled tubing. Mill and motor
selection should be based on the following:
• Five-bladed mill only: Medium to heavy “cutrite” 1/8 to
1/4 in. size, with a 30° taper from the outside inward
toward the middle
• Motor speed: 200 to 1,400 rpm
• Drilling weight: 500 to 3,000 lb (225 to 1350 kg)
• Use three-bladed mill for 2 7/8-in. packers and plugs

Excessive pump rates may generate hydraulic forces, which
tend to lift the mill off the target (commonly referred to as
“hydraulic lock”). This will significantly increase milling
times. An indication of excessive pump rate would be the
inability to stall the motor with increased weight on the mill.
• Pump slowly through the assembly to check the rotation
of the motor.
• Run motor/mill assembly to bottom of the hole and tag
the packer/plug.
• Pick up at least 3 ft (1 m) and begin pumping. Pump rate
should be determined by the downhole assembly and
coiled tubing.
• Slack off assembly until desired weight is setting on the
packer/plug.
• Continue slacking off weight as packer/plug material
is removed.
Suggestions and Recommendations for CoiledTubing Drilling/Milling
Experience has shown the best bit for removing Fas Drill®
tools is a short or medium tooth hard formation bit (IADC
codes 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, and 3-1). Optimum bit size is
92 to 95% of casing drift diameter. Longer drilling times
should be expected when using other bit types. Motor speeds
from 50 to 400 rpm are recommended.
Variations from the recommended practices may be
necessary to optimize the milling/drilling operations. The
following suggestions may help with developing an
optimized technique.
• Larger-diameter coiled tubing will generate less friction
loss, allowing higher pump rates. It will also reduce the
annular flow area, which will increase the annular
velocity. The torsional yield of the coiled tubing should
be at least twice the maximum output torque of the
motor. This is especially true when running larger
motors with higher torque ratings.
• Motor selection may be the most important factor
because motors operate within a specific range of flow
rates and temperatures. Excessive flow rates damage the
stator, while insufficient flow rates cause the motor to
operate inefficiently or not at all. Do not exceed the
maximum allowable flow rate through or weight on
motor. Pump rates should be sufficient to maintain fluid
velocities capable of carrying the cuttings. In situations
where insufficient circulation can be maintained due to
high fluid hydrostatics, a suspending aid (nitrogen)
should be utilized. Additional milling times may be
experienced when using a gas-assisted system as the
efficiency of the downhole motor will be diminished. It is
important to maintain sufficient fluid velocities at the
target and up the annulus to ensure that cuttings are
carried away properly.
A number of different factors can significantly affect the
ability to maintain these proper fluid velocities. Coiled
tubing size, casing size, motor and mill / bit ODs, etc. will all
play a part in achieving sufficient fluid velocities.
Casing size will affect the annular flow area and either
increase or decrease the annular velocity. We cannot control
this parameter so we strive to control the others.
When feasible, the pump rate should be reduced during a
stall prior to picking up the bottomhole assembly. This
reduces damage to the stator when fluid surges through the
power section, extending the motor’s operating life.
Co-mingled nitrogen can be used to mill / drill composite
packer and plugs. Use enough nitrogen to maintain returns.
Nitrogen will increase the motor stall times due to gas
compression, slowing down the milling operation.
Mill ODs that are too large can prevent proper fluid
circulation. It can prevent larger particles from passing by the
mill and up into the annulus. Slightly undersized mills
perform better due to improved fluid movement around the
mill during the milling operation. This improved fluid flow
allows for better removal of the cuttings.
Experience has shown that a proper mill size is 92 to 95% of
the casing drift diameter.
Example:
4-1/2”, 11.6 #/ft - drift diameter - 3.875”
.92 x 3.875 = 3.548”
.95 x 3.875 = 3.681”
Suggested mill size - 3.625”
Flat mills, while they have larger cutting surfaces, do not
work as good as bladed mills. The optimum milling
technique is one that tears, not cuts.
Drillable Service Tools 3-41
Drillable
ServiceT
ools
Five-bladed mills work better than four-bladed mills.
Four-bladed mills are too aggressive and tend to stall the
motor excessively.
High-pressure wells can inhibit the ability to generate
enough fluid velocity at the mill to carry away cuttings and
debris. High annular pressure can limit the flow rate available
to the motor, decreasing its efficiency. Surface equipment
may not allow the release of high flow rates at high pressures
or operators may prefer not to release pressure at high rates.
High wellhead pressure can cause the surface pump pressure
to exceed the maximum allowable pressure on the coiled
tubing. High-pressure coiled tubing units will be required for
this application.
In deviated well conditions, it may be more difficult to obtain
sufficient fluid velocities than in vertical well conditions. The
eccentric condition will cause reduced flow rates around the
coiled tubing. The drill cuttings, fill, or debris can drop out
and cause sticking of the coiled tubing and/or bottomhole
assembly. Weight-on-bit in a deviated well is also very
important. Motor assemblies vary in dimension and may
drag significantly in deviated sections of the well. The ability
to stack weight on the plug should be modeled beforehand.
Fas Drill® tools are constructed of materials that circulate out
easily due to their lightweight and low-density properties.
The HPHT (high-pressure high-temperature) Fas Drill tools
are constructed with very similar materials as the Fas Drill
tools with a few noted exceptions. The HPHT Fas Drill
bridge plugs have metallic-ceramic-composite (MCC) button
inserts in the slip mechanisms. These buttons are designed to
breakup during drilling or milling, allowing them to be
circulated out of the wellbore. Some HPHT assemblies have
aluminum slips that are easily removed during drilling or
milling.
When milling/drilling predominately composite sections of
packers and plugs, use lightweights (approximately 500 lb
[225 kg]) to avoid motor stalling.
When milling/drilling predominately rubber portions of
packers and plugs, apply weight up to the maximum
allowable weight on the motor. Vary the weight throughout
the rubber milling operations even though progress is slow.
When milling/drilling through bridge plugs that have
differential pressure trapped below the plugs, proceed slowly
through the top 6 in. of the plug. Periodically lift the
bottomhole assembly off the bridge plug as progress is made
through these first 6 in. to ensure pressure venting. This
allows pressure to vent through the ID of the mandrel and
relieves the upward force on the top slips. This procedure
prevents the plug from moving uphole during the milling/
drilling process. The bottomhole assembly should be picked
up while venting to reduce the risk of sticking.
Drilling With Normal Circulation
The best bit for drilling up Fas Drill tools is a short or
medium tooth hard formation bit (IADC codes 2-1, 2-2, 2-3,
2-4, and 3-1). Proper bit size is 92 to 95% of casing drift
diameter. The packers/plugs can be removed with other bit
types but drilling times may be longer. Rotary speeds from 50
to 125 rpm are recommended. Drill collars for weight and
stability are recommended. A junk basket is recommended to
catch larger cuttings that could possibly fall back on the
packer/plug and impede drilling.
To drill packer/plug:
• Tag packer/plug with bit and begin circulation to wash
any loose debris. Circulate at 1/2 to 3 bbl/min. Higher
flow rates can greatly reduce penetration rate by
reducing bit contact.
• Pick up at least 6 in. (16 cm) and begin rotation.
• Set back on the packer/plug while rotating and slack off
2,000 to 3,000 lb per inch of bit diameter (350 to 510 kg
per centimeter of bit diameter). Less weight can be used
for drilling but drilling times may increase.
• Continue slacking off weight as packer material
is removed.

Drilling With Reverse Circulation
The best bit for drilling up Fas Drill® tools is a short or
medium tooth hard formation bit (IADC codes 2-1, 2-2, 2-3,
2-4, and 3-1). Proper bit size is 92 to 95% of casing drift
diameter. The packers/plugs can be removed with other bit
types but drilling times may be longer. Rotary speeds from 50
to 125 rpm are recommended. Drill collars for weight and
stability are recommended.
To drill packer/plug:
• Tag packer/plug with bit and begin circulation to wash
any loose debris. Circulate at 1/2 to 3 bbl/min.
• Pick up at least 6 in. (16 cm) and begin rotation.
• Set back on the packer/plug while rotating and slack off
2,000 to 3,000 lb per inch of bit diameter (350 to 510 kg
per centimeter of bit diameter). Less weight can be used
for drilling but drilling times may increase.
• Continue slacking off weight as packer material
is removed.
• After drilling the first 6 to 8 in. (15 to 20 cm), monitor
the cuttings to see if returns are carrying rubber. Monitor
the pressure gauge on the reverse pump to watch for bit
plugging by the rubber. If problems are encountered
drilling the rubber, pick up the workstring 2 ft (.6 m) and
circulate for 1 to 2 minutes. Slow rotations to 10 to 20
rpm, and set weight back on the packer. Continue this
practice every 10 minutes until packer rubbers are fully
drilled (12 to 14 in. [30 to 36 cm]).
• Resume original drilling procedure after drilling
packer rubbers.
Milling With Conventional Equipment
The best mill for milling up Fas Drill tools is a junk-type mill
that tapers inward. The tools can be removed with other mill
types but the possibility of casing damage is greater. Rotary
speeds from 50 to 150 rpm are recommended. Drill collars
for weight and stability are recommended.
To mill packer/plug:
• Tag packer/plug with mill and begin circulation to wash
any loose debris. Circulate at 1/2 to 3 bbl/min.
• Pick up at least 6 in. (16 cm) and begin rotation.
• Set back on the packer/plug while rotating, and slack off
5,000 to 8,000 lb (225 to 3600 kg). Less weight can be
used for drilling but drilling times may increase.
• Continue slacking off weight as packer material
is removed.

Mechanical Setting Tool
The Halliburton mechanical setting tool sets and operates all
drillable tools. This setting tool is run on tubing or drillpipe
and is operated by workstring rotation and reciprocation.
The load transfer feature of the tool limits the amount of
string weight that can be applied to the sliding valve. This
feature helps ensure that the packer mandrel is placed in
compression rather than in tension, making the tool more
resistant to breakage.
Features and Benefits
• Acts as a load transfer device
• Provides positive indication when packer is set
• Allows tubing or drillpipe to be rotated as the tool comes
out of the hole
Operation
The drag blocks/springs contact the well casing to restrict
the rotation of the outer components while the right-hand
rotation of the workstring causes the outer components to
move down and begin the setting motion.
The right-hand rotation unlatches the packer lock ring and
sets the top slips. An upward pull on the workstring
completely sets the packer and releases it from the
setting tool.
Additional right-hand rotation moves the setting tool’s
outer components farther downward to unlock the upper
mandrel from the drag blocks, which moves the setting
tool’s outer components upward. This movement allows the
lower mandrel to extend down far enough to operate the
squeeze packer sliding valve. The disengagement also
causes the setting tool to become freewheeling, so the
workstring can be rotated out of the hole without causing
excessive wear on the setting tool drag blocks/springs.
The setting tool will not cycle again until it has been
redressed with the setting sleeve properly locked in place,
and the keys have been returned to their grooves.

BP Hydraulic Setting Tool
BP hydraulic setting tools set Halliburton drillable packers
and plugs with workstring pressure. They have no
mechanism for operating tools once they are set. Because
BP hydraulic setting tools use no plugs or balls for
operation, they are ideal for work in horizontal wells.
Design Features
BP hydraulic setting tools can be run on drillpipe, tubing,
or coiled tubing. Two versions of the BP hydraulic setting
tool are available: fill and non-fill.
• Fill-type BP hydraulic setting tools have a hydrostatically
operated fill valve that allows the workstring to fill
during the trip into the hole. This fill valve has shear pins
that are preset at the surface to a predetermined
hydrostatic pressure. Once the fill valve reaches the
preset hydrostatic pressure, the pins shear and the fill
valve closes and locks. The fill valve cannot be opened
after it closes.
• Non-fill BP hydraulic setting tools have no means for
filling the workstring on the trip in, so an auxiliary fill
valve (RTTS® bypass, etc.) or filling from the surface is
necessary. The differential pressure between the wellbore
fluid and dry workstring does not adversely load the
setting mechanism on the trip in.
In both versions, the setting piston is activated by a
predetermined internal pressure applied to the workstring.
This pressure shears the pins holding the setting piston,
moving it down against the plug and setting the top slips.
Additional pressure fully sets the plug or packer and parts
the tension sleeve/pins.
After the plug or packer sets, the workstring is raised 4 to
5 ft (1.22 to 1.52 m). Continued internal pressure to the
workstring causes the setting piston to move down, which
opens the tool to establish circulation. Cement can then be
spotted on top of the plug.

HCT Setting Tool
Hydraulic setting tools are used for applications where
pulling forces are needed to set packers or plugs downhole.
For example, these tools can be used to set cast-iron bridge
plugs, Fas Drill® plugs and packers, permanent packers, or
squeeze cement retainers. These setting tools can also be
used for any application where a conventional wireline
setting tool would be used. Since no explosives are necessary,
special training is not required to operate these tools.
Horizontal wells and wells without a rig that already have a
coiled tubing unit (CTU) in place are the most common
applications for hydraulic setting tools.
These setting tools are hydraulically activated when a ball is
dropped into the tool and tubing pressure is applied. They
also have a circulation port that can be uncovered after the
plug is set. This feature allows cement to be pumped down on
top of the plug, which saves another trip in the hole.
The 1.81-in. OD hydraulic setting tool can be run with only
three pulling cylinder assemblies, but the maximum
pulling force is reduced. The total working area will be
2.896 in.², which yields an output force of 13,900 lb
(6305 kg). The 1.81-in. OD assembly has the same profile
as the 1 11/16-in. GO setting tool.
The 3.64-in. OD assembly has the same profile as the
Baker No. 10 setting tool.
The 3.81-in. OD assembly will have the same profile as the
Baker No. 20 setting tool.
Features and Benefits
• The bottom connections emulate common wireline
setting tools.
• Circulation ports are available to use for spotting cement.
• Setting tools can be run on regular or coiled tubing.
• Hydraulic setting tools require no explosives.
• Tools continue to build pressure in the workstring above
the ball so that the ball-drop sleeve shears open,
establishing circulation through the assembly.

Operational Procedure
To set the EZ Drill® SV and SVB or Fas Drill® SVB squeeze
packer with the Fas-N-EZ™ hydraulic setting tool, the
following procedures are recommended. The FAS-FIL™
valve can be run directly above the setting tool to allow the
tubing or drillpipe to fill while tripping in the hole.
1. Pin the FAS-FIL valve with the correct number of pins
to allow the workstring to fill and close at the
appropriate depth.
2. Make up the FAS-FIL valve to the Fas-N-EZ hydraulic
setting tool on a single joint of pipe.
3. Sting into the packer and make up the coupling to the
tension sleeve in the EZ Drill packer or screw the shear
pins through the coupling ring into the Fas Drill
packer.
4. The setting procedure is activated by a pre-determined
internal pressure applied to the workstring.
5. Additional pressure fully sets the packer and parts the
tension sleeve or pins.
6. Cement squeeze or other applications can now be
performed through the packer.
