VersaFlex® Expandable Liner System - HLB

VersaFlex Expandable Liner System

VersaFlex expandable liner hanger systems combine
Halliburtons 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.
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
HAL18718
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.

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 settingall 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
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.
Features
Each tool design is unique, however,
each cementing liner hanger running
tool contains four primary components
which simplifies processes and
enhances reliability.
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
Crossover valve incorporates

multiple porting which allows
pressure paths for hydraulic
expansion and fluid returns paths
during the reverse out process.
HAL33016
Piston provides the transition from

pressure to force during the
expansion process. Various forms of
pistons and force multipliers are
used to create force.

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.

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

VersaFlex DP Wiper Dart

The VersaFlex DP wiper dart is a unique releasing plug
designed specifically for use with the VersaFlex plug
assembly. (SSR subsurface release wiper plugs are not
compatible with this system.)
The wiper dart is available to cover a variety of standard
drillpipe sizes.
Wiper darts for tandem string scenarios also available.
VersaFlex Landing Collar

The VersaFlex plug assembly is designed to be used in
conjunction with a landing collar. The VersaFlex plug
assemblies and landing collars have been designed for the
most common casing sizes.
Uniquely designed to mate with the VersaFlex plug
assembly.
HAL32938
The specially designed landing collar helps ensure a

positive seal is created when plug bump is achieved and
is primarily available in P-110 or P-110/Q-125 grades.
To request information on VersaFlex plug sets, compatible
wiper darts, and special threads, materials, or blanking
dimensions for use on the landing collar, email the Casing

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
400F) 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.

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.
HAL8097
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.
Super Seal II High-Port

Up-Jet (HPUJ)
Float Shoe
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.
