Integrated expandable liner hanger for multilateral applications
Talk to an expertHalliburton XtremeGrip® and XtremeGrip® HP/HT expandable liner hanger systems take the standard VersaFlex liner hanger to the next level. This high-performance, advanced technology provides a compliant metal-to-metal seal with a fully bonded resilient elastomeric seal to account for imperfections in the parent casing. Its ability to provide an ISO 14310 V0 tested, gas-tight seal on setting is surpassed only by its ability to provide enhanced hang-weight capabilities at elevated temperatures up to 575°F (302°C) and pressures up to 15,000 psi.
The unique body profile of the XtremeGrip and XtremeGrip HP/HT systems utilizes engineered extrusion limiter rings to provide metal-to-metal sealing and full bi-directional anchoring capability in all casing grades at elevated temperatures. Its clean-form design offers a smooth radial flow path allowing for unrestricted bypass area, which assist in reducing equivalent circulating densities (ECDs) during all phases of the operation.
Ideal for use from land to deep water and HP/HT to geothermal applications, and wherever long liners are deployed, the XtremeGrip and XtremeGrip HP/HT systems are designed to mitigate risks and maintain hang-weight capabilities at elevated temperatures and pressures. The system offers increased robustness associated with liners and liner deployment. The hanger and running tool are assembled together and form an intrinsic packoff which minimizes downhole tool components and potential leak paths while cementing. The standard running tool setup offers wash-down capabilities, rotation capabilities without bearings and simultaneously allows for reciprocation of the liner. Once the cement has been placed and the tool actuates the expansion process, the hanger is set to offer bi-directional load capabilities and provide a gas-tight, liner-top seal which eliminates remedial liner-top squeeze jobs after setting.
