The PHN1 liner hanger is used to RIH and hang non-cemented liners. It is manufactured in
2 modifications, differed by the type of internal space shut-off:
- by throttling valve, which gets closed by increased circulation rate;
- by pumping of cementing plug or activation ball, that land into a landing seat located at
the bottom of hanger mandrel. - PHN1 is equipped with UIF (unit of isolation of filters), allowing to circulate through the
liner shoe.
PHN1 hanger consists of 4 functionally independent parts:
- 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 PHN1
by applying hydraulic pressure. - mechanical release to back up a hydraulic disconnection mechanism.
Design of PHN1 is practically identical to that of PHCZ1, except that at the end of tool
mandrel, there installed a landing seat or a throttling shut-off valve, instead of hollow
cement plug, and mandrel has circulation ports.
