In order to facilitate rig operations when running the BigBore II Wellhead System, Dril-Quip has created a set of Wear Sleeves and Selectable Wear Bushings to facilitate time savings on each phase of the drilling operation These products were developed to protect the metal sealing area inside the wellhead, and are installed when the bottom hole assembly is run, eliminating the need for an extra bore protector or wear bushing trip The OD of both running tool and stabilizer match the OD of the drill bit (full gauge)

The 3-D illustrations below depict the Wear Sleeve and Selectable Wear Bushing assemblies in the wellhead for:

1. Drilling out for 18" Casing with the 18 ¾" x 17" Wear Sleeve

2. Drilling out for 16" Casing with the 18 ¾" x 16" Wear Sleeve

The SS-15 Seal Assembly is weight set and provides a metal-to-metal seal between the casing hanger OD and wellhead ID The seal assembly is made from integral structural steel, with a protected resilient seal backup, which is trapped between the metal seal lips and can never extrude The seal assembly is radially preloaded on a tapered surface of the casing hanger Proper energizing of the seal assembly is assured even if formation cuttings or debris are in the cement return areas Dril-Quip’s Seal Assembly has been successfully tested multiple times without the resilient material backup and with gumbo and formation cuttings packed around the casing hanger to demonstrate its true metal-to-metal sealing characteristics The seal assembly has also been successfully cycle-tested multiple times per API 17D with water and nitrogen gas to 15,000 psi and 250º F

The same 18 ¾" seal assembly fits all casing hangers 14" and smaller It is automatically locked to the casing hanger during pressure testing and will properly seal The 18 ¾" seal assembly can be retrieved, if needed, by straight vertical pull No torque or left-hand rotation is required to release the seal assembly from the casing hanger Seal assembly lockdown capacity is 750,000 lbs

An 18 ¾" Emergency Seal Assembly is available if needed It uses metal lips and radially squeezed elastomer on the OD and ID, rather than O-rings, and is installed on the casing hanger in the same manner as the standard seal assembly The emergency seal sets higher in the annulus to utilize a fresh sealing area on the wellhead and the hanger

Dril-Quip’s 18 ¾" Seal Assembly is designed for 15,000 psi working pressure from above and 10,000 psi from below, and H2S service at 35º to 250º F, per API 17D, 2nd Edition, and API 6A class V

Dril-Quip’s LS-15 Liner Hanger System is available with all of Dril-Quip’s Wellhead Systems The LS-15 Liner Hanger products are built to perform under a wide range of conditions, and are ideally suited for long reach, high angle, horizontal and ultra-heavy liner completions This premium liner hookup incorporates many innovative tool designs, ensuring reliable operation and service in many of today’s most demanding wells

LS-15 System FeaturesThe LS-15 Liner Hanger System features field-proven technology that incorporates the following:

• High strength, high pressure, high load-carrying capacity

• Metal-to-metal Annulus Packer Seal for high pressure service

• No hydraulic or mechanical devices on the hanger body, minimizing leak paths

• Large slip area and controlled friction minimizes stress in the supporting casing

• All hangers are automatically centralized when C-Ring Slip is set

• Bypass flow area is the same after setting the liner hanger slip as in the running-in position

• Maximizes circulating flow-by areas for efficient cementing operations

• The LS-15 Liner Hanger System can be sized and configured to customer specifications

LS-15 Packer Seal Features• Integral, one-trip metal-to-metal sealing design

• Anti-swab design for faster running speeds and higher circulating rates, and resists mechanical damage while running

• Standard service for many sizes is 10,000 psi at 400°F Higher pressures are achievable and are only limited by the capacity of the packer mandrel and casing

Rotational OptionWith the addition of a rotating bearing assembly, the LS-15 Liner Hanger can be rotated with the slips in the set position during the cementing operation This feature can assist in completing a successful cement job

LS-15™ LINER HANGER SYSTEM

The Liner Hanger is run to total depth with the slip in the retracted, running position.

The hanger body is then slacked off onto the slip. The sharp teeth on the slip will secure the Liner Hanger to the supporting casing. At light loading, the dull inner slip teeth will not yet grab the cone as it slides behind the slip.

When released from its locked-down running-in position, the slip will spring open and come into contact with the ID of the supporting casing.

As the loading increases and travel progresses, the inner teeth begin to form small shoulders on the Liner Hanger slip cone. As the shoulders increase in size, the downward travel of the Liner Hanger is stopped before loading gets high enough to collapse the Liner Hanger body or burst the supporting casing.

The LS-15 System Incorporates a Unique Hanger Slip DesignDril-Quip’s proprietary one-piece C-Ring Hang-Off Slip has been developed to greatly reduce the amount of hoop stress placed on the supporting casing by the liner load Dril-Quip’s circumferential slip design distributes the liner load much more evenly around the casing than conventional multi-slip segment hanger systems The C-Ring Slip also incorporates a method of controlling the friction between the slip and the hanger body This “controlled friction” design redirects hoop load into axial load, drastically reducing the collapsing load on the hanger body and burst pressure on the casing This combination of stress loading permits the LS-15 Liner Hanger System to hang longer and much heavier liners than possible with conventional technology

LS-15 Running Tool• The system incorporates high torque capacity for drill-

down, wash-down applications and rotation during cementing operations

• The running tool incorporates a port isolation system that eliminates the possibility of prematurely setting the slip, or releasing from the hanger while running into the hole

• The hydraulics to set the liner hanger slip are built into the running tool, not as part of the hanger system, eliminating the need for a hydraulic port through the body of the liner hanger

• The running tool is hydraulically released from the liner hanger and also incorporates a unique right-hand hydromechanical secondary release

Running ProceduresIn order to solve many of the problems encountered during liner installation, Dril-Quip has simplified the running procedures of the liner hanger for exceptional ease of use

1 Trip into hole to liner setting depth

2 Launch setting ball from cementing manifold, pump ball to seat in running tool

3 Pressure to 1,000 psi, shift the port isolation sleeve and release liner hanger slip, slack off liner weight onto slip

4 Pressure to 2,000 psi to release running tool from liner hanger

5 Reduce drill pipe pressure to 500 psi to accomplish soft release of setting ball Pick up drill pipe string approximately 4” to check for release of running tool which is confirmed when drill pipe pressure bleeds off

6 Slack off weight onto hanger to reseat running tool Re-establish circulation, pump cement

7 Launch pump-down plug from cementing manifold and displace to liner wiper plug

8 Pressure to 1,000 psi, release the liner wiper plug from the running tool
