Liner Hangers

Rotating protected cemented liner hanger PHCZV

PHCZV liner hanger is used to RIH and hang cemented liners, providing the capabilities to rotate an assembly while running, hang cemented liners and allows to sequentially perform well cementing operations, set hydraulic anchor, packer and, then, disconnect a drill string. PHCZV liner hanger consists of four functionally independent components:

  • anchor to hang the liner assembly in the casing string;
  • hydro-mechanical packer to isolate annular space;
  • hydraulic release mechanism that allows to RIH liner assembly, circulate, activate anchor/packer by hydraulic pressure and, then, disconnect the drill string from PHCZV by applying hydraulic pressure.
  • mechanical disconnection that allows clockwise (to the right) assembly rotation while RIH and, at the same time, serves a backup to hydraulic disconnection. To disconnect the drill string, first, the half a turn counterclockwise turn is performed (to the left) to activate and, second, not less than 10 clockwise (to the right) turns to disconnect.

After the liner is run to the bottom and required circulations (washovers) are carried out, PHCZV activation is carried out as follows:

  • cement is pumped into a well and cement plug is lunched to separate it from displacement fluid;
  • cement slurry is displaced into the liner-open hole annular space until the plug “bumps”;
  • while well head pressure “on bump” increases, the hydraulic anchor gets set when pressure differential reaches 16 MPa;
  • hydraulic packer is activated simultaneously with anchor by differential pressure of 16 MPa;
  • when pressure differential reaches 20 MPa, the hydraulic disconnection gets activated;
  • mechanical disconnection is activated by, first rotating the drill string by 1/2 turn counterclockwise (to the left) and, second, disconnected by not less than 10 turns clockwise (to the right); • circulation/washover is performed and drill pipe is POOH.
  • washover and pulling out of the transport string.

While well casing a liner includes the following technical units:
for liner continuous cementing liner casing starter is equipped with a shoe, than check-valve and stopping branch pipe. Hanger PHCZV is mounted on the last pipe of the liner which is connected with the transport string; for liner collar cementing casing starter of liner filtering part is equipped with a shoe, above the filtering part a packer for collar cementing is mounted, PGMC, PGMC2 or PGMC4. Hanger PHCZV is mounted on the last part of the linerwhich is connected with the transport string.
