Designed specifically for the deepwater and subsea markets to address complex well conditions

The VersaFlex expandable liner hanger (ELH) system helps operators reduce both risk and capital costs. Evolved from this successful product family, the VersaFlex Big Bore system is designed specifically for the deepwater and subsea markets to address complex well conditions. The system does not require landing in a pre-determined profile, helping to eliminate complications common to positioning in mudline/casing wellhead profiles. Additionally, the VersaFlex Big Bore system does not require liner-top cement integrity to achieve a liner-top seal upon setting. It incorporates casing-placement flexibility that helps eliminate related liner installation issues, and our elastomeric seal technology is unmatched in the industry. The redundant leak-proof design helps eliminate sustained casing pressure. With our ground-breaking clean-form design, the VersaFlex Big Bore system is an all-in-one integral hanger/packer.

Minimizing steps and reducing costs

It has no moving parts, which helps eliminate costly tool failures associated with conventional liner hangers. CAPEX savings do not end at operations, they continue throughout the life of the well. One of the biggest payoffs for operators is a cost reduction in materials. In most cases, liner overlap is greatly reduced with the VersaFlex Big Bore system because pressure bearing tieback strings are not required. The system also minimizes many of the operating steps required to set the liner hanger/packer, compared to conventional systems while virtually eliminating remediation costs.

Extreme design

When well construction challenges in large casing sizes dictate more robust requirements, the VersaFlex Big Bore system can be mated with the metal sealing XtremeGrip hanger body technology. This combined system has all the same reliable functionalities as the VersaFlex Big Bore system, including the ability to overcome challenges such as heavier hang loads and elevated temperatures for an effective 360-degree hydraulically energized metal-to-metal compliant seal with bi-directional anchoring capabilities.
