Why Liners ?

Prime reason:

± Save $$

± (Cost of 1 Joint of Casing can be $3,000!)

Cover Corroded/Damaged Casing

Cover:

± Lost Circulation Zones.

± Shales or Plastic Formations ± Salt Zones

Deep Wells:

± Rig Unable to Lift Long String of Casing.

Types of Liners

Production:

± Most common

± Save $$

± Slotted liner

Intermediate/drilling:

± Cover problem zone in order to be able tocontinue drilling

Tie-back/liner complement:

± From top of existing liner to surface, or further upcasing to cover corroded or damaged zone.

Procedure for Setting Liner

RIH with drillpipe At liner hanger depth, condition mud

± (Reciprocation / Rotation) Release slips (liner hanger)

± (Rotation - mechanical pressure - hydraulic) Set slips, release liner weight, check to see if running tool is

free Pump mud - to ensure free circulation Cement / Displace / Bump plug / Bleed off

Release setting tool POOH above TOC and circulate

± NOTE: A liner swivel can be run below the hanger toensure that the tool can be rotated even if the liner is stuckor set.

Job Procedure Liner

Pressure test lines.

Pump wash/spacer.

Pump slurry.

Drop "Pump Down" plug (or drill pipe wiper dart). Displace

± To running tool

± Shear "Wiper Plug´

± Displace to Float Collar

Bump plug/check for returns.

Release tool.

Pull up to T.O.C. and circulate.

Liner Overlap

Cementing the liner ³lap´ is critical .

Too much cement above the liner hanger is notrecommended

So make sure that ³uncontaminated´ cement ispresent at the liner lap - washes and spacers /WELLCLEAN II

If not, there is communication from the annulusto the formation

Recommendations for Liner

Cementing Ensure rheology of cement system is adequate

for 100% mud removal

Turbulent flow, if possible

Consider 5 - 10 min. ³contact time´ at liner lap

Batch mix cement

Minimize U-tubing effect

Rotation of liner during cementing (specialbearing in tool)

Adequate mud conditioning prior to cementing

± Drill pipe 3-1/2" 13.30 lb/ft

± 4-1/2" 16.60 lb/ft liner required from 14,400 ft to 400 ft

inside 7" liner.

± Float collar 80 feet above shoe.

Liner Example Calculations - Results

Slurry Volume:

Volume #1: 0.0981 ft3/ft x 400 ft = 39.2 ft3

Volume #2: 0.0859 ft3/ft x 3900 ft x 1.20 = 402 ft3

Volume #3: 0.0769 ft3/ft x 80 ft = 6.2 ft3

Total Volume: 447.4 ft3

Displacement:

Drill Pipe: 0.00742 bbl/ft x 10,100 ft = 74.9 bbls

Liner: 0.0137 bbl/ft x 4220 ft = 57.8 bbls

Total Displacement = 132.7 bbls

Max. overdisplacement = (80 x 0.0137) / 2 = 0.55 bbls

Conclusion

Liners have many applications

The main feature is that normally you have small volumes of

slurry and high pressures during the job.

Liner overlap is the most critical part to cement correctly

Even though most of the times we are not at charge of the

hardware (liner hanger, cement head, etc.), we must have

knowledge of what has been run in the hole, and the way it

works.

It is important to slow down the displacement to avoid

excessive pressures (shear pins, end of displacement)
