Abstract
An oil well tool including a release mechanism, a splined torque transmitting driver, a liner, an under reamer and a drill bit. Circulation in a passageway through the tool provides drilling foam or fluid to the drill bit and under reamer. A restriction below the under reamer provides pressure to hydraulically force cone arms of the under reamer outwardly. A valve mechanism located within a stinger subassembly within the liner controls communication between the central passageway and the perforated liner. The valve is actuated by placement of a ball following drilling. Gravel packing through the well annulus may then occur following drilling. A second valve may later by actuated to separate the drill pipe from the liner and associated components.
