ABSTRACT:
A dual string packer is milled by a mill having an annular milling shoe for milling the periphery of the packer and freeing it from the well bore. An axial milling head mills a central hole in the top of the packer before the annular shoe reaches the locking segments. A grapple above the milling head engages the walls of the axial hole to support the remains of the packer in the well. The grapple includes a release ring that can be broken in tension to release the packer mill from a stuck packer if need be. The grapple has a gripper sleeve with longitudinally extending fingers and a camming sleeve for camming the fingers outwardly. An expandable ring inside the camming sleeve provides means for withdrawing the camming sleeve from the gripper sleeve if it should stick.
