Description

[0002] With the increasing technical level of medium-deep geothermal energy development and oil and gas field development, the wellbore structure is becoming increasingly complex. The horizontal well structure has become an advanced wellbore structure for the efficient development of medium-deep geothermal energy and oil and gas resources. At present, when the drill pipe is broken and stuck in the horizontal well casing and needs to be milled, a groove is often made on the base of the mill shoe suitable for open hole wells to set a ball to achieve the purpose of anti-eccentric wear. However, since the bottom of the mill shoe head is still exposed and lacks a protective device, during use, the ball is very likely to be stuck and eccentrically wear the casing wall, and the contact area between the ball and the inner wall of the casing is relatively small.
