Halliburton Introduces Durasleeve For Easier Shifting, Better Seal And Lower Total Costs
HOUSTON, Texas - Halliburton Energy Services is introducing DURASLEEVE, a new non-elastomer circulation/production sleeve that provides easier shifting during well maintenance, better sealing between the tubing and casing annulus, and helps lower total costs for oil and gas operators.
Lower shifting forces with DURASLEEVE are available through a new Engineered Composite Material (ECM) that is used in the seal. Even after shifting the DURASLEEVE 100 times, shifting force with this seal was up to 80% less than with conventional PEEK seals. Average shifting force to open or close is less than 500 lb. Conventional sliding sleeves require more than 1500 lb. to open or close.
The improved system also provides a highly reliable seal between the tubing and casing annulus for the life of the well. Operators can lower total costs using the system due to the ability to open with high differential pressure, reduced risks of annular pressure, less deferred production, fewer workovers and fewer slickline problems. DURASLEEVE has been successfully tested to 5,000 psi external pressure and 325 degrees F with no seal damage.
Halliburton Energy Services, a Halliburton Company organization, is one of the world's leading suppliers of energy products and services. Founded in 1919, the organization provides a broad range of services and products to the energy industry on a global basis.
