METAL MUNCHER AMT drilled out Inconel 718 packer with zero NPT Challenges Retrieve 9 5/8-in. packer constructed with strong nickel alloy Results ? Milling was accomplished in two runs with little wear on cutting structures ? Zero NPT incurred A Norwegian operator in a North Sea field needed to retrieve a 9 5/8-in. Inconel 718 packer, but did not think it was possible to mill the packer because of its strong, nickel alloy construction. A fishing services team from Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE), took on the challenge of milling the packer, and recommended using a specially made packer mill dressed with METAL MUNCHER TM advanced milling technology (AMT) carbide P-7, the industry’s most durable, effective cutting and swarf control cutting structures.
