Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for performing a milling operation within a wellbore in an oil-and-gas setting. An example system can include a milling tool, which can include a cutting head, a linear actuator configured to advance the cutting head, and a linear displacement measurement sensor associated with the linear actuator. The sensor can be configured to measure linear displacement of the linear actuator. The system can also include a cable to lower the milling tool, a control unit that receives data from the sensor, and a display device that displays a visualization of the data from the sensor. The control unit can analyze the data to determine a location of a milling target, a status of the milling operation, and undesirable milling conditions down hole. The control unit can perform a remedial action, such as by turning on a pump to remove debris from the wellbore.
