The PHN2 liner hanger is used to RIH and hang non-cemented liners. PHN2 liner hanger consists of 4 functionally independent parts:
- anchor to hang the liner assembly in the casing string;
- mechanical packer to isolate annular space;
- hydraulic release mechanism that allows to RIH liner assembly, circulate, activate anchor by hydraulic pressure, activate packer mechanically and, then, disconnect the drill string from PHN2 by applying hydraulic pressure.
- mechanical release to back up a hydraulic disconnection mechanism.
Design of PHN2 is practically identical to that of hydro-mechanical cemented liner hanger – PHGMC, except a landing seat installed at the bottom part of the mandrel. Liner hangers PHN2.114/168, PHN2.127/178 and PHN2.127/178-114 are produced in UIF (unit of isolation of filters) configuration, which allows to perform circulation through the shoe.
