The expandable HETS Liner Hanger design creates a slimmer connection, which has bi-directional load-bearing capability. The hanger has synergies with an overall slim well philosophy and increases the options for contingency drilling liners. It has no moving parts (in particular, no slips) and a unique combination of metal to metal interference-fit and elastomer seals – simplicity that should result in lower failure rates than those of conventional hangers. The design lends itself to customisation of hanger dimensions and material, giving flexibility in the casing system selection.
