LINER HANGERS

Pocket Slip Liner Hanger SystemThe Pocket Slip Liner Hanger System combines a premium liner hanger with accessory items specifically designed to maximize system integrity.

The Pocket Slip Liner Hanger eliminates many of the problem features common to conventional liner hangers: external slips, slip arms, bow springs, cages, hy-draulic setting cylinders, and more. This hanger utilizes a special tongue-and-groove slip design completely recessed within the hanger body when run. A short body and recessed slips make it "clean running". These features lessen the possibility of interference with tight spots, liner tops, doglegs, windows or mudline suspension systems - all poten-tial places for conventional liner hangers to encounter problems. Additionally, the PSH system has an enhanced fluid flow arrangement providing both external and internal fluid bypass. Integral liner run-ning threads eliminate the liner setting adapter, adding to improved fluid flow at the hanger.

ApplicationsRunning liners in damaged or ob-• structed wellboresHanging extremely heavy liners in • high-grade casing where maximum bite is requiredHanging liners in low-strength, unce-• mented, or multi-string casing where thorough load distribution is critical

Features & BenefitsDrive slots in the liner top permit ro-• tation while running to orient around obstructions (PSHR), also available without the Drive slots for non-rota-tion applications (PSH)Heavy-wall tubular alloy steel con-• struction designed specifically to hang heavy liners; no pressure re-tention included for maximum hang-ing performance Tongue-and-groove slip design com-• pletely recesses slips into the tool body, reducing running interferenceHigh cone angle of slip design reduc-• es horizontal slip forces in support-ing casingSlips manufactured to 55-60 Rock-• well “C” hardness for high-grade casing compatibilityEnhanced fluid flow arrangement • permits internal and external fluid bypassHanging capacity normally greater • than the conventional dual cone de-signs of the same sizeExternal and internal fluid flow by-• pass is optimized by eliminating close tieback seal bore clearance

The Pocket Slip Setting Tool provides a dual setting method in most sizes - hydraulic or mechanical setting of the liner hanger. Ei-ther method can be selected when the liner is at setting depth - not an option with con-ventional liner setting tools! The Pocket Slip Setting Tool is designed to positively actuate the hanger's slips resulting in uniform load-ing. This forceful wedging action eliminates many of the problems inherent with prefer-ential or unbalanced slip engagement com-mon to conventional hangers.

Features and BenefitsDual setting method - hydraulic or me-• chanical - capability in most sizesPositive, uniform, controlled slip activa-• tionCentralizing system eliminates any po-• tential for setting tool binding created by doglegs - assures easy release of the running nutSlip activating dogs "locked" into releas-• ing position after setting - prevents any accidental re-engagementBearing system eliminates the need to • find "neutral" to disengage the liner run-ning nutDesigned to augment system bypass by • providing internal flow pathDebris barrier to reduce potential fouling • problems associated with particle fallout above the liner top

Reduced Slip Loads minimize casing damage:Most casing damage occurs with a conventional liner hanger because of slip setting problems: a shallow cone angle; un-even contact between the slips and the intermediate casing; and asymmetrical, erratically timed slip setting. Smith's PSH protects casing with a design and a slip-setting method that delivers smooth setting and even slip loads every time.

cone Angle:The tongue-and-groove slip design on the PSH has an ef-fective cone angle about twice that of conventional hangers. This reduces the horizontal slip force (burst pressure) on the intermediate casing and lowers the collapse load on the hanger body. This design gives increased safety margins unavailable with any other hanger on the market today.

Slip contact:The tool's slip design and positive setting method ensure complete contact with the intermediate casing, from the top to the bottom of the slip. The result is efficient, predictable and uniform transfer of weight to the intermediate casing. Conventional liner hangers tend to preferentially load the slip, reducing the effective slip area and increasing the slip load above the predicted value.

Slip Timing:The Smith design overcomes the problem of poor slip tim-ing with carefully synchronized contact between the slips and casing. Conventional hangers have a tendency for one slip or set of slips to take weight before the others, causing uneven loading of the intermediate casing and increasing the potential for liner/casing failure.

finite Element Analysis:An FEA model was developed to depict the forces for a typi-cal 7" 108,000 lb. liner suspended from a Conventional Lin-er Hanger (Fig. 1) and the Pocket Slip Liner Hanger (Fig. 2) inside 9 ⅝" casing.

figure 1:For the Conventional hanger, the 9 ⅝" casing is stressed to a level of 152,381 psi at the center where the slip is lo-cated. In most cases, this stress would exceed the strength of the casing and there would be permanent deformation at this point. In reality, the cement behind the casing would minimize this deformation but it demonstrates the start of possible pipe burst if the cement were not in place.

figure 2:Shows the pipe stress levels when loaded by the Pocket Slip Hanger. Here the stress of 29,239 psi is well within the strength of even J-55 pipe. Even in the absence of cement, the casing would not experience any permanent deforma-tion. The advantage of being able to hang long, heavy liners is clearly illustrated.

The PSH Pocket Slip Liner Hanger is available with a range of accessories designed to maximize running perfor-mance, operational flexibility and sys-tem integrity.

The Pocket Slip Integral Packer (FSP) adds same-trip isolation capabilities to the PSHR, with a high-pressure anti-swab element rated up to 10,000 psi at 350° F. The packer sets mechanically with the FSP. The FSP also includes an integral tieback receptacle, and is avail-able with an integral cementing bushing profile for increased pressure perfor-mance.

The Pocket Slip Tieback Receptacle (PSTBR) honed seal bores to maximize seal integrity, while bypass ports above the seal bore provide bypass area.

The PSTBR is also available with an in-tegral cementing bushing profile for in-creased pressure performance.

Features and BenefitsHigh-pressure element rated 10,000 • psi at 350 degrees FAnti-swab element design• Self-energizing, non-extruding ele-• mentLarge bypass area• Tieback ability below the hanger or • packerManufactured from mechanical tub-• ing of equivalent liner grade

AccessoriesThe Pocket Slip Retrievable Cementing Bushing (PSRT) features an RCB pro-file and a honed seal bore to maximize pressure performance. The Pocket Slip Drillable Cementing Bushing (PSDT) in-cludes inserts to provide a seal between the setting tool slick joint and housing, and leave minimal core when drilled out with full gauge bits or mills.

The Rotating Pocket Slip Liner Hanger delivers unmatched rotating performance by combining the slip design of the Pocket Slip Hanger with an inner mandrel supported by a cylindrical roller bearing. The Rotating Pocket Slip Liner Hanger can be configured with a spacer sleeve in place of the bearing assembly to deliver the same ex-ceptional hanging capacities and minimal casing loading characteristics for non-rotating applica-tions.

The unique tongue-and-groove slip design mini-mizes running interference and reduces casing deformation potential once set. The Rotating Pocket Slip Liner Hanger body and slips feature an effective cone angle two times greater than conventional hangers, reducing burst pressure exerted on casing and allowing longer, heavier liners to be run on multi-string or uncemented casing.

The Rotating Pocket Slip Liner Hanger is set either mechanically (RPSM) or Hydraulically (HPS).

Other components required for liner rotation are the setting tool and the setting adapter. Hydrau-lic release (SHTR) and Double Spline (STS) set-ting tool provide the most flexibility.

Hydraulic-Set Rotating pocket Slip Liner Hanger features:

Pocket slip design eliminates cone collapse • while providing an effective cone angle twice than the conventional hangersSlips are manufactured to 55-60 Rockwell • “C” hardness for high-grade casing compat-ibilityCylindrical roller bearing can be replaced • with a spacer sleeve when rotation is not requiredManufactured from mechanical tubing of • equivalent liner grade; 80,000 psi through 125,000 psi yields are standard, with other yield strengths and materials available by special orderReduces slip loads; minimizes stresses in • supporting casingRight hand rotation of liner after hanging • and during cementing

EZ Series Liner Hangers is one of the most reli-able and efficient Mechanical Set Liner Hangers, as it is comprised of the hanger body or man-drel, one or more sets of cone pads, slips and a cage assembly to carry the slips. The cage contains a “J” slot and drag springs to control the movement of the slips into contact with the cones. A lug on the hanger body controls the cage “J” slot. A gauge ring protects the slips when running the hanger into the wellbore.

Non-Rotating Mechanical Set (EZ) Liner Hang-ers are set through manipulation of the work string: quarter right hand turn aligns the cones and the slips, after which slack offsets the slips into the casing wall.

LINER TOP PACKERS

13

Liner Top Packers are run as an integral part of the original liner string, replacing the liner setting adapter. Liner top packers consist of a Tieback Receptacle, a setting adapter appro-priate to the setting tool used and a packer element used to seal the annulus. Designed to be set after the liner is cemented, the packer is set by picking up the running string, placing the tamping dogs in the setting tool assembly above the liner top and slacking off weight. Excess cement above the liner top can be circulated out after the packer is set.

Liner top packers are available in the following configurations:

WMP - for use with Model D setting tool• JMP - for use with Model STHR setting • toolVMP - for use with Model STS setting • tool

Holddown slips are available as special order for all packer types.

Features and BenefitsOptimizes chemical resistance to comple-• tion and production fluids with a variety of elastomer options for packer elements and seal assembliesMaintains element setting with mandrel • lock ringFacilitates high circulating rates with en-• hanced packer element designEliminates extra components and connec-• tions with integral retrievable cementing bushing profileAvailable with optional hold down slips • for use with light weight linersHigh-grade casing compatible slips manu-• factured to 55-60 Rockwell “C” hardnessL80 and Q125 material grades are stan-• dard, with other material grades avail-able by special order

The Long Reach Liner Top Packer (LRTP) facili-tates successful liner deployment in vertical and long reach horizontal wellbores. Hydraulic-set-ting, combined with push, pull and rotation capa-bilities allow controlled liner deployment without excessive work string manipulation. Ease of de-ployment is further enhanced by an internal by-pass included in the packer and the Long Reach Setting Tool (LRST) reducing “piston effect” dur-ing running. The packer features an internal cir-culating string for wellbore fluid displacement if required. Packer elements are available with standard or thermal elastomeric construction for use in steam injection applications.

Features and BenefitsPush, pull and rotation capabilities facilitate • liner deploymentHydraulic primary release reduces work • string manipulation and eliminates string weight requirementsSecondary mechanical release. One quarter • left hand turn shears pins; straight pick-up releases packerDesigned to accept inner string circulating • accessoriesInternal bypass feature reduces “piston ef-• fect”Available with or without slips for hanging • and hold down applicationsPacker can be manufactured to match casing • thread, eliminating liner crossover

The Hydraulic-Set Isolation Packer (HLT) is run on a second trip to isolate leaks at the liner top. Hydraulic-setting is beneficial in highly deviated wellbores where adequate slack-off force cannot be ap-plied. The HLT is used after the liner has been run, cemented and the liner tieback receptacle seal bore cleaned out. The HLT seals into the existing liner tieback receptacle and is set with a hydraulic-setting tool, sealing the annular area between the liner and casing. It also provides a new tieback receptacle for future operations.

Features and BenefitsSets with hydraulic pressure applied to setting tool for uniform • setting forceEliminates transfer of setting weight to the liner• Optimizes chemical resistance to completion and production flu-• ids with a variety of elastomer options for packer elements and seal assembliesMaintains element setting with mandrel lock ring • Dual slips prevent movement of packer• High-grade casing compatible slips manufactured to 55-60 Rock-• well “C” hardnessL80 and Q125 material grades are standard, with other material • grades available by special order

Compression-Set Isolation PackerThe Compression-Set Isolation Packer (CLT/CLTP) is run on a second trip to isolate leaks at the liner top. The CLT is used after the liner has been run, cemented and the liner tieback receptacle seal bore cleaned out.

The CLT seals into the existing liner tieback receptacle and is set with compression, sealing the annular area between the liner and casing. It also provides a new tieback receptacle for future operations. The CLTP includes the same features as the CLT, but is designed for use with Pocket Slip Liner Systems.

Features and BenefitsAn anti-trip safety lock ring prevents premature setting• Optimizes chemical resistance to completion and production flu-• ids with a variety of elastomer options for packer elements and seal assembliesMaintains element setting with mandrel lock ring • Hold down slips prevent upward movement of packer• High-grade casing compatible slips manufactured to 55-60 Rock-• well “C” hardnessCLT packers are manufactured from AISI 4100 series alloys, • with other material grades available by special orderAvailable for Pocket Slip Liner Systems (CLTP)•

TIEBACK & POLISHED BORE RECEPTACLE SYSTEM

16

Tieback liners provide a new casing string to cover intermediate casing worn by drilling or corrosion, protect a weak casing string from shut-in or excessive production pressure, or to isolate a leaking liner top. A typical tieback liner system includes a Tieback Seal Nipple (TSN), Orifice Float Collar (OFC) and an existing Liner Tieback Receptacle (TBR). The TSN consists of a locator, seal mandrel, seals or seal units and a half mule shoe bottom. This assembly is made up to the tieback string and is landed into the existing TBR.

Features and BenefitsLocator threaded to match tieback liner/• casing connectionVariety of seal materials available for com-• patibility with anticipated well conditions; Viton®/Aramid seal units standardMule shoe configuration aids in stabbing • and facilitates re-entry with wireline equip-mentOptional cementing ports available• L80 and Q125 material grades are stan-• dard, with other material grades available by special order

Orifice Float CollarThe Orifice Float Collar (OFC) reduces lost rig time and drilling fluids by allowing the tieback liner/casing to fill as it is run. In addition, when the Tieback Seal Nipple (TSN) enters the tie-back receptacle, displaced fluids flow through the orifice, preventing a pressure lock during stabbing. The OFC is normally run one to two joints above the TSN and provides a stop for the cementing plug.

Features and BenefitsSingle poppet valve standard• All internal parts are PDC drillable• Orifice port allows tieback liner to fill during • run-inOrifice prevents pressure lock by providing • a fluid pathL80 and Q125 material grades are stan-• dard, with other material grades available by special order

TIEBACK & POLISHED BORE RECEPTACLE SYSTEM

19

The Tubing Seal Assembly (TSA) is the working seal between formation pressure and the production tubing. The TSA con-sists of a locator top threaded to match the production tubing connection, seal mandrel, seals or seal units and a half mule shoe guide. The TSA is stung into the Polished Bore Receptacle (PBR), close to the liner top. Proper design of the TSA, seal se-lection and the PBR are critical to the useful life of the seals and elimination of many of the problems associated with well com-pletions. Integrity of the entire system requires careful planning and consideration of all components used in the completion.

Features and BenefitsLocator threaded to match tubing connection• Variety of seal materials available for compatibility with • anticipated well conditions; Viton®/Aramid seal units stan-dardMule shoe configuration aids in stabbing and facilitates re-• entry with wireline equipmentSeal mandrel ID machined to match the production tubing • specifications for ID and driftL80 and Q125 material grades are standard, with other • material grades available by special order Tubing Seal As-sembly

Tubing Seal AccessoriesThe Positive Latch Assembly (PLA) is used to latch or anchor tubing seal assemblies in a seal bore. This prevents movement of the seals due to changing well conditions, while withstanding both tensile and compressive forces. Restricted seal movement extends seal life and reduces necessary seal bore lengths. The PLA consists of a top coupling threaded to match the production tubing connection, right-hand release latch and an inner man-drel with a connection down for a seal assembly.

Features and BenefitsTop connection to match tubing connection, eliminating • cross-over subRight-hand release latch threads• Designed to uniformly distribute compressive loads into • liner top or PBRID machined to match the production tubing specifications • for ID and driftL80 and Q125 material grades are standard, with other ma-• terial grades available by special order

The Cementing pack off seals the annular area between the work string and the top of the liner. Several different types are used to achieve this seal; their usage is dependent on well con-ditions and preferences.

Retrievable Cementing BushingThe Retrievable Cementing Bushing (RCB) is comprised of a body with locking lugs, interior and exterior seals. The bushing seats and locks into a profile machined into the liner setting adapter or a profile sub. A polished OD slick joint completes the assembly. The RCB provides a fully retrievable seal between the liner and the work string.

Features and BenefitsFull circle locking lugs for optimum pressure resistance• Small piston area reduces forces on work string while cir-• culating and cementingCompletely retrievable, leaving full opening to liner below • without drilling out

Slick Joint featuresPolished OD for maximum sealing integrity and pressure • resistanceReduced diameter to allow retraction of RCB locking lugs• Swivel adapter assembly for liner wiper plug attachment• Available in lengths up to 25 feet•

Drillable Cementing BushingThe Drillable Cementing Bushing (DCB) performs the same function as the Retrievable Cementing Bushing but must be drilled out to achieve unrestricted access to the liner below. Normally this seal assembly is installed in a separate housing. A polished OD slick joint completes the assembly.

Features and BenefitsSmall piston area reduces forces acting on work string dur-• ing circulating and cementingAluminum alloy insert for easy drill out, leaves minimal ma-• terial in housing when drilled out with full gauge bit or millCemented insert style available in most sizes•

The Landing Collar (LC) acts as a seat and latch for the liner wiper plug, and is normally run one joint above the float collar or float shoe if a float collar is not installed. The LC provides a positive stop for the cementing plugs. This system holds pressure from above and below when the pump down or liner wiper plugs land and latch at the end of cement displacement.

pump down plug

Liner wiperplug

Pump Down Plug and Liner Wiper PlugThe Pump Down Plug and Liner Wiper Plug provide separation between drilling/dis-placing fluids and the cement slurry when cementing liners. Two plugs are required because of the wide ID difference between the liner and the work string.

The Pump Down Plug is released from the cementing manifold at the surface after the cement is pumped. Traveling between the cement and the displacement fluid, it wipes cement from the drill pipe. The pump down plug locks and seals into the liner wiper plug. Together the two plugs function as a single plug.

The Liner Wiper Plug is normally shear pinned to the setting tool and provides the seal bore for the pump down plug. A hol-low interior passes cement and fluids. With the pump down plug sealed and latched, the liner wiper plug will shear off, wipe the cement from inside of the liner and keep the cement separate from the displacing fluid. When seated and latched in the land-ing collar, the plugs prevent back flow of cement. If desired, the liner wiper plug can be placed in a plug holder bushing below the liner hanger.

Features and BenefitsLocking system provides back pressure • capability when locked and sealed in the landing collarElastomer selection for compatibility • with today's complex drilling fluidsPDC drillable• Anti-rotation feature reduces drill-out • times

The Pressure Activated Stage Cementing Tool functions by applied pressure to per-mit upper stage cementing. Opening is con-trolled by a piston at the end of first stage cementing. Opening pressure moves an in-ner sleeve upward aligning the cementing ports. The Stage Cementing Tool is closed by the wiper plug following the second stage cement. The inner sleeve is held in this position by a ratchet type lock ring and pressure integrity is maintained.

The Stage Cementing Tool is particularly advantageous when cementing long liners. Waiting time for a conventional opening ball is eliminated and the probability of success-ful second stage cementing is greatly en-hanced.

This tool is also useful in cementing liner tieback strings. By placing the Stage Tool above the tieback seal assembly the seals can be left in the tieback receptacle. This eliminates pumping cement past the tie-back seals. The Stage Tool is closed by the plug following the cement. Pressure integ-rity is regained when the inner sleeve is closed and locked.

Features and BenefitsManufactured from alloy steel matching • liner grade for optimum performanceOpening pressure easily adjustable in • the fieldHydraulic opening, mechanical closing • for positive, reliable operationInner sleeve locked closed at end of ce-• ment placement; cannot be reopened later by full gauge tools

The Solid Body Cementing Manifold (CMSB) suspends drill pipe weight from the rig elevators while retaining the plug so that it can be released after cement-ing has been completed. The CMSB also connects the cementing lines to the run-ning string during liner operations, and includes a heavy-duty swivel for easy string manipulation with the cementing lines in place. This swivel mechanism and drill pipe plug retainer are built in below the elevators for unobstructed operation. The CMSB is available with single or dual plug drop capabilities; an optional ball drop assembly is available for use with hydraulic-set liner systems.

The Top Drive Cementing Manifold (CMIB) elimi-nates cement contamination of top drive compo-nents. It creates a flow path for cement and dis-placing fluids without passing through the rig’s top drive assembly, making it ideal for cementing liners with a top drive system on the rig. The high capac-ity CMIB consists of a swivel and an internal bypass manifold with integral ball drop and plug drop as-semblies. The one-piece swivel housing eliminates threads, flanges or welds while increasing strength and reducing bending loads imposed on the inlets. Drop mechanisms are self-contained for low main-tenance and feature an independent indicator for each plug or ball dropped. The CMIB can be config-ured for single plug, single ball drop or dual plug, single ball drop, and is suitable for running and ce-menting all types of liner systems, including rotat-ing liner systems.

INNER STRING CIRCULATION TOOLS

35

Setting hydraulic tools and controlling circulation can be a problem when running slotted or screened liners, as these liners do not permit conventional circulation methods. For these cases, Smith offers a number of items specifically designed for circulating through an inner string. These components include Ported Swab Cup Assemblies, Tubing Swivels and Ball Catch Subs.

Ported Swab Cup AssemblyThe Ported Swab Cup Assembly (SWCA) utilizes op-posed packer cups between a ported mandrel. This configuration, when combined with a pressure con-taining device such as the Ball Catch Sub, allows pressure to be directed between the opposed cups. This pressure is then directed to specific hydrau-lically-actuated devices such as hydraulic-set liner hangers and external casing packers. The Ported SWCA can be positioned to actuate several devices independently and is retrieved with the liner setting tool and work string.

Tubing SwivelThe Tubing Swivel (TS) permits easier make-up or manipulation of the inner string. The swivel bearing assembly functions in both compression and ten-sion. Connection make-up does not “torque” any component below the swivel assembly. In addition to the bearing assemblies, the TS also incorporates mandrel and housing seals to provide needed pres-sure integrity

Ball Catch SubThe Ball Catch Sub (BCS) is normally used with in-ner string tools to provide the pressure “seat” to permit activation of one or more pressure actuated components. This tool incorporates a ball seat with shear pins to provide the required shear pressure. After all hydraulic components have been actuated, increased pressure against the ball seat shears the seat pins and circulation is regained. This prevents the necessity of “pulling a wet string”, thus saving drilling fluid and rig time. May be configured to shift with pump down plugs.

figure cA standard liner installation. Starting at the top, a setting system with a tieback receptacle, setting adapter with setting thread and RCB profile. The receptacle provides a tieback alternative whether planned or unplanned. A me-chanical-set liner hanger suspends the liner weight from the intermediate casing.

figure dThis diagram shows a wellbore design using the conven-tional approach to tie back a liner. A tieback receptacle is mounted on top of a PBR having an RLA profile. The hanger below the PBR must be designed to have a burst pressure rating equal to the liner.

figure EAt some time in the life of a well it may become necessary to isolate a damaged section of the casing. From the top, the casing patch consists of a weight set Liner Top Packer (with or without holddown slips), number of joints of liner required, a stage cementing collar, and a Liner Hanger Packer with a guide shoe on bottom. The patch is run on tubing or drill pipe with a mechanical-set setting tool with tamping dog assembly.

figure fA typical liner is run with an integral packer above the liner hanger. The integral, weight set packer with hold-down slips is set after cementing. The packer allows ex-cess cement to be reversed out above the liner top, saving clean out time. Circulating pressures do not affect the formation below the packer. The packer's holddown slips also assist in keeping short, lightweight liners in position until cement is set.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Good seal performance depends on matching materials, properties, and stack design to the demands of the well environment. Temperature, pressure differentials, acids, inhibitors, H S, CO, and other harsh elements dictate seal material selection. Disregarding these factors can shorten the life of the completion and increase costs. Completion Technology provides a wide range of elastomer selections to meet demanding requirements.

Smith’s standard Seal Stack is not nitrile based, but is a compounded Viton® pressure ring design with glass-filled Teflon® pressure and adapter rings. Our standard seal de-signs are capable of withstanding HCl, low concentrations (5% maximum) of H S, C O, and temperatures to 400° F. Viton seals are not recommended where high concentra-tions of amine corrosion inhibitors are likely to be pres-ent. Our standard seal stack is an economical selection suitable for use in both high and low pressure applications where well conditions fall within the conditions outlined above. In order to maintain suitable performance levels, this seal should not leave the seal bore under differential pressure.

Aflas® Seal Stacks incorporate Aflas primary pressure rings (replacing the Viton rings on the standard Smith seal ar-rangement) with secondary pressure rings of glass-filled Teflon and adapter rings offering H S and CO resistance. In addition to temperature ratings up to 450°F, these seal assemblies offer good pressure performance, as well as proven chemical resistance to most well fluids, including amine based inhibitors.

“HpHT” High performance Seal StackThe “HPHT” high performance seal stack utilizes a pro-prietary blend of Teflon and Carbon that are basically in-ert materials and maintain a high degree of lubricity. The seals contain an expander that is captured in a groove on the face of the seal body.

When conditions, such as the following, require high per-formance seals, Smith's high performance seal stack pro-vides practical solutions.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Elastomer Guide (cont.)Special Application materialSmith’s Kalrez® Seal Stacks are similar to the standard seal unit. The primary pressure rings are Kalrez instead of the Viton® material, with other components of Ryton® and Teflon® as illustrated. Ka-lrez seals provide proven temperature and chemical resistance, as well as pres-sure performance. Kalrez has restricted movement and should never be allowed to leave the seal bore.

molded Seal packingMolded seal units of either nitrile or Viton should be specified if you cannot pre-vent the complete seal assembly from moving out of the polished bore under pressure. These seals are not as easily damaged as chevron style seals. Molded seals are also very resistant to wash-off while going in the hole or displacing the hole with packer fluid after spacing out the tubing string. The compounded nitrile seal units are suitable for wells where temperatures do not exceed 275° F, and where H S is totally absent. Low concentrations of HCl will not adversely affect molded nitrile seals. Molded Viton seals are suitable for most well condi-tions, including low concentrations of H S where temperatures do not exceed 350° F and amine based inhibitors are not used.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Completion Systems’ test cell facility at the Hardy Road campus in Hous-ton, Texas, improves product verifi-cation turnaround times by expand-ing in-house testing capabilities. A broad range of downhole tempera-tures, pressures and loads can be simulated to meet both industry and customer-specific testing require-ments. Testing parameters are fully documented and compliant with the latest industry standards.

Summary of Testingcapabilities

Hydrostatic Pressure: 15,000 psi • for 9 ⅝ inches and smaller sizes. 10,000 psi for larger tools Nitrogen Pressure: 15,000 psi • for 9 ⅝ inches and smaller sizes. 10,000 psi for larger tools Temperature: 450 degrees F• Push: 785,000 lbs.• Pull: 589,000 lbs.• Continuous Rotation: 40 RPM • @ 1,450 ft-lbs (variable) with a 200,000 lb. applied load Static Torque: 50,000 ft-lbs•

Any of the mentioned parameters can be used in combination to provide an accurate simulation of downhole con-ditions.

Safety featuresEnsuring the safety of personnel and the environment is of primary con-cern during testing. Extensive safety checks are performed prior to ev-ery test, and entrances to the test chamber are locked during testing. Steel reinforced walls in the control room and the main structure further

reduce risk to personnel and property.

The test cell features 36-inch conductor casing cemented in place to a depth of 30 feet. Fully sealed 20-inch protective casing is suspended in the test well to prevent the release of test media into the environ-ment. Each piece of equipment being tested is lowered inside the casing below a wellhead to confine test pressures below the surface. Following testing, a water recovery system scav-enges any excess test media and processes out contami-nants, preventing release into the environment.

During testing, real time test data may be monitored from the control room, or can be accessed remotely using pro-prietary software. Test data is digitally recorded on four pressure channels and two

temperature channels. These results can be stored in the test lab’s data-base, ready to be burned to a CD for attachment to test reports.

All phases of the testing process can also be visually monitored and re-corded through two digital cameras mounted within the test cell.

commitment to ExcellenceThe new high bay test cell facility is another example of Smith Services — Completion Systems’ commitment to provide customers with products that represent the industry benchmark for quality of design, performance and value.
