Abstract
An expandable tool includes an expandable block set having a plurality of segments longitudinally arranged. Each segment of the plurality of segments has a segment configuration. The segment configurations of the expandable block are customized for a particular application, based on the anticipated formation type. During operation, the downhole segment wears or breaks away, exposing the uphole segment, which takes over as the primary segment.
