Enventure Unveils a Major Advancement in Expandable Liner Hangers
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enventure Global Technology announces the next generation of expandable liner hangers. The newly designed Enventure SET® Expandable Liner Hanger (ELH) is the culmination of more than 20 years’ experience in expandable anchor-hanger technology. This expertise is evident in the ease of installation with a combined hanger and liner top packer. Fewer total parts run in hole means increased reliability over conventional mechanical and hydraulic hangers.
For its new generation of expandable liner hangers, Enventure addressed a wide range of issues common to traditional liner hangers. The result is a vastly simplified operations sequence, leakproof performance, rotational capabilities, and the elimination of moving parts. The system offers one-step hydraulic setting of the hanger and packer; as well as an integrated, polished bore receptacle to accommodate tiebacks. Combine these features with primary and secondary expansion capabilities and the result is a cost-effective, reliable, and versatile solution.
“For the new generation of expandable liner hangers, we looked back to look forward,” said Matt Meiners, Director of Technology & Product Development. He adds, “Over the last 20-plus years we’ve installed more than 2,000 expandable liners globally. All of these installations utilize our expandable anchor hanger to hang the expandable liner in the previous casing string. The SET ELH utilizes this approach to hang conventional liners rather than expandable liners.”
Enventure’s vastly simplified operations sequence was designed with the customer experience in mind. The SET ELH reduces Non-Productive Time (NPT) a major consideration for operators worldwide. This streamlined process minimizes the potential for error, increases safety, and improves operational reliability. The SET® Expandable Liner Hanger will be popular with operations personnel because there is less equipment going into the hole.
At the heart of the SET ELH are five, integrated API-tested liner top packing elements, greatly reducing the risk of leakage once the packers are set. This robust design is well suited for conventional, onshore applications as well as the high spec. offshore environment.
According to Alastair McClean, President and CEO, “In the end, simple is better. There’s really no magic here. Our customers demand an easy-to-install, versatile, reliable system. I think SET ELH checks all the boxes.”
