In the oil and gas industry, string mills play a vital role in casing repair, wellbore cleanup, and milling operations. At ProGrynd, we specialize in precision-engineered string mills that deliver consistent performance in harsh downhole environments. Designed to remove obstructions, scale, and irregularities from inside casing and tubulars, our string mills are crucial tools in any well intervention or sidetracking operation.

What is a String Mill?

A string mill is a robust downhole tool equipped with hard-faced blades or inserts used to grind and remove obstructions within the casing or wellbore. It is typically run on a drill string and can be used during milling, reaming, or wellbore cleaning processes.

Applications of String Mills:


  • Milling tight spots or collapsed casing

  • Reaming out scale or debris

  • Preparing the casing for whipstock installations

  • Cleaning the wellbore before running completion assemblies
