Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0298537A2] A borehole underreamer device comprises a downhole motor having a rotor part which carries by means of a pivot (2) an elongate clapper body (1) in which a series of abrasive teeth (8) are embedded. In use the device is pulled in upward direction through the borehole while the clapper body describes an orbital motion inside the borehole thereby forcing the teeth to penetrate into the surrounding side wall of the borehole so as to underream the hole.
