VersaFlex® Expandable Liner System

VersaFlex® expandable liner hanger systems combine

Halliburton’s industry-leading expandable solid liner hanger

technology with our complete range of cementing products

and services to offer a total system approach to liner

installations.

The system features a VersaFlex integral liner hanger/packer

which is made up of an integral tieback receptacle above an

expandable solid hanger body and a lower sleeve designed to

carry the tensile and torque loads during deployment.

Elastomeric elements are bonded onto the hanger body. As

the hanger body is expanded, the elastomeric elements are

compressed in the annular space. This virtually eliminates

the liner hanger/casing annulus and provides liner top

pressure integrity while delivering impressive tensile and

compressive load capacity on setting. With no moving parts,

slips, or cages, the simple VersaFlex liner system design helps

eliminate the risk of pre-setting the liner hanger/packer.

Using the knowledge gained from multiple successful

installations, Halliburton has diversified the VersaFlex

system to provide a robust set of liners suitable for a variety

of applications including:

• Drilling liners

• Production liners

• Tight tolerance liners

• Extended reach liners

• Openhole completions

• Horizontal completions

• Drill-in liners

VersaFlex® Expandable Liner Hanger Systems

Understanding different applications require different

solutions, Halliburton has engineered and designed several

Expandable Liner Hanger (ELH) Systems suited for various

applications. While these applications cover a wide range of

conditions, Halliburton has maintained simplicity

throughout each system, helping to promote liner

deployment and liner top seal-on setting—all while

incorporating fewer installation procedures with minimal

operational steps.

Systems are as follows:

• Standard liner system

• High torque liner system

• Low equivalent circulating density (ECD) liner system

• Big Bore liner systems

• Breech lock liner systems

• VersaStim™ liner systems

Features• Liner hanger and liner top isolation packers are packaged

as a single unit.

• Packer element design allows for high circulation rates.

• Large radial clearance between hanger/packer body and

support casing improves run-in-hole speeds and

circulation rates.

• Improved fluid flow with the absence of external

components such as slips, hydraulic cylinders, cages, etc.

• Less induced stress and more even stress distribution in

supporting casing for a given liner length.

• No physical damage to the supporting casing; no slip

“wickers” to cut into the supporting casing.

Benefits• Potential leak paths eliminated

• Evenly distributed stress on previous casing

• Reduced operating steps

VersaFlex® Liner Hanger Setting Tools

Halliburton offers various setting tool

designs based on hanger configuration

and application. Primary systems are:

• Standard ball set systems

• Standard flapper set systems

• High torque systems

• Low equivalent circulating density

(ECD) systems

• Big Bore systems

• Breech lock systems

The VersaFlex® Liner Hanger expansion

(setting) is accomplished with a

hydraulically actuated liner running/

setting tool assembly. This unique

system provides the necessary

expansion mechanics, cementing

packoff system, a collet assembly to

carry the liner weight and transfer that

weight to the drillstring while

providing torque, and an expansion

indicator assembly. The running/

setting tool assembly features a primary

and secondary releasing system for

maximum reliability.

FeaturesEach tool design is unique, however,

each cementing liner hanger running

tool contains four primary components

which simplifies processes and

enhances reliability.

• Piston provides the transition from

pressure to force during the

expansion process. Various forms of

pistons and force multipliers are

used to create force.

• Crossover valve incorporates

multiple porting which allows

pressure paths for hydraulic

expansion and fluid returns paths

during the reverse out process.

• Expansion cone assembly uses the

force from the piston to drive the

cone into the hanger body,

expanding it into the parent casing.

• Collet assembly transfers the load of

the liner string being conveyed into

the wellbore to the drillpipe and

transmits torque to the liner

through contact with the collet

retainer to torque adapter.

Benefits• Allows for washing and reaming

during deployment without special

configurations of each tool

• Higher circulating rates and

pressures than conventional systems

• Allows rotation and reciprocation

during cementing operations

• Debris tolerant porting

• Simplified setting processes and

procedures

• Redundant setting features on all

flapper set tools

• Tertiary setting systems on high

torque tool system

• Standard contingency release

features

Tieback Seal Units

The VersaFlex® tieback seal unit is designed to be installed

into the upper tieback receptacle (TBR) of the liner hanger

assembly. Tieback seal units allow for the upper casing string

to be tied back to surface while leaving the largest possible ID

in the hanger assembly.

• Tieback seal units are designed to be fully landed,

allowing a no-go locator to locate at the top of the TBR.

• When required to cement surface casing in place, the

tieback seal unit can be used alone or in conjunction

with Halliburton SuperFill™ TB equipment.

(See additional data located within the Casing

Equipment PSL.)

• Metallurgy and seal units can be selected to suit well

conditions.

• Seal units come in three types of elastomer

configurations—premium, molded, and bonded.

VersaFlex® Expandable Liner Hanger Plug Systems

The VersaFlex® plug system consists of three main

components, the VersaFlex plug assembly, wiper dart, and

landing collar. Each component must be ordered separately

to meet size and material requirements.

The VersaFlex plug set is supported by the Casing Equipment

group located in Houston, Texas.

VersaFlex Plug Assembly

The plug design uses the proven HWE® High Wiping

Efficiency cementing plug design to provide superior wiping

performance and fluid separation with a single wiper plug.

The plug design has several unique features that provide

improved functionality and reliability, including:

• Integral swivel mechanism allows plug rotation during

make up to the liner along with an equalizing feature to

help prevent damage from pressure applied to the plug.

• Adjustable shear pins allow adjustable pressure release

features to ensure plug launch during displacement

operations.

• Spacer tube to fully encapsulate the drillpipe wiper dart

assisting in centralization of dart for secure latch.

Float Equipment

Super Seal II® Float Equipment

Super Seal II® floating equipment is installed in and becomes

an integral part of the casing string. This equipment helps

float and cement the casing in the well. The equipment's

basic backpressure and temperature ratings (5,000 psi and

400°F) allow it to be used in most wells. The plastic valve

materials and surrounding shear and shockload-resistant

concrete exceed the strength requirements for landing

cementing plugs. The valve assembly and the cement holding

the valve assembly in place can be drilled out easily with

roller-cone rock bits or polycrystalline diamond compact

(PDC) bits after cementing operations. All casing-size

Super Seal II float shoes and collars are supplied with an

autofill feature. Customers can request Super Seal II float

equipment for any casing grade or premium thread.

Super Seal II Float Collar

The Super Seal II float collar includes the Super Seal II

backpressure valve, which prevents cement pumped into the

casing/wellbore annulus from re-entering the casing ID after

cementing operations. The float collar is normally installed

one or two joints above the float or guide shoe.

Float Shoe

The high-port up-jet (HPUJ) float shoe jets the formation

face to remove detrimental mud cake and cuttings,

increasing the chances of a successful cement-to-formation

bond. The high circulation rates and cement flow rates that

are possible with the Super Seal II float valve allow turbulent

flow at the shoe without damaging the float valve.

• Approximately 40% of the fluid pumped through the

equipment is discharged at a high velocity through the

bottom of the float shoe.

• All Super Seal II HPUJ float shoe casing sizes use the

same autofill strap used for the Super Seal II float valve.
