Liner hangers and liner top packers to improve completion well construction design and operations

Well trajectory complexity, depth, pressure, temperature, and cost have increased the challenges of well construction design, planning, and operations. Long horizontal laterals in unconventional shale wells, liner drilling, extended reach wells, cemented and uncemented liners require high-performance liner hanger systems capable of: rotation to reach total depth, robust setting mechanisms tolerant of higher solids content, liner top packer sealing elements which can survive run in hole, circulating and cementing at higher rates to lift and homogenize the mud around the liner, all while controlling the equivalent circulating density (ECD) to avoid approaching the fracture gradient and damaging the formation. Once set on depth, seal integrity must be maintained through high-pressure fracturing operations in the case of some uncemented liner applications and years of pressure and thermal cycling during production.

Reduce costs and speed up well construction from deep water to land

Enhance well integrity and reduce costs in well construction with a full line of liner hanger systems, equipment, and accessories for conventional and complex well applications on land or offshore. Backed by a track record of more than six decades, SLB liner hangers, liner top packers, and mechanical and hydraulic set and release running tools are engineered to suspend, support, isolate, seal, and anchor in all types of applications and environments.

With a range of available liner hanger equipment and services, Xcelis™ high-performance liner hanger systems excel in the most challenging environments, and COLOSSUS™ liner hanger systems provide versatile option to suit various well conditions.

Liner Hanger Systems

Liner Hangers

HCHR

High-capacity hydraulic rotating liner hanger

Deploy heavy and long liners in drilldown applications, even in deep land, deepwater, and HPHT wells, to save time and enable rotation. View
HPS

Configurable hydraulic pocket-slip liner hanger

Run long and heavy liners with confidence, even in HPHT conditions, with or without liner rotation during running or cementing. View
SBRD

Solid-body mechanical-set liner hanger

Run light and medium-weight liners in wells where the workstring can be manipulated to set the hanger. View

Liner Top Packers

PV-3

Liner top packer with or without hold-down slips
