Electric Submersible Pump Completion with Mechanical Reservoir Isolation


Operators can negate escalating rig cost concerns in
electric submersible pump (ESP) applications using the
Halliburton mechanical IB4 fluid loss isolation barrier
valve. In an ESP completion, the IB4 valve helps eliminate
costly intervention or well kill operations previously
required to perform a workover.

The IB4 valve incorporates a high-performance ball-


closure mechanism that provides a bi-directional seal and
facilitates the initial isolation of the reservoir immediately
Electric Submersible
after the lower completion installation. Additionally, the
Pump
IB4 valve provides infinite reservoir isolation/re-entry
during upper ESP completion workover operations.

The lower completion is installed with a mechanical IB4


valve. The IB4 valve is closed after the zonal treatment by
locating in the shifting profile of the valve upon inner
string retrieval with a collet shifting tool. The lower zone is
now fully isolated with a testable bi-directional barrier.

The upper completion consisting of a bi-directional collet


shifter, isolation seal assembly, and ESP can now be Gravel Pack Packer
installed. The bi-directional collet shifter attached to the
bottom of the upper ESP completion locates in the
shifting profile of the IB4 valve, opening it fully prior to the
upper completion landing out. The isolation seal assembly
directly above the collet shifter stings into the gravel pack
packer sealbore extension before mechanical opening of MCS Closing Sleeve
the IB4 valve, providing annulus isolation before re-entry
to the reservoir.

In the event of an upper ESP workover, by simply pulling


the upper ESP completion, the bi-directional collet shifter
locates in the shifting profile of the IB4 valve to fully close
it, providing a fully testable bi-directional barrier for IB4 Mechanical Fluid Loss
workover purposes. Isolation Barrier Valve

LV4 Isolation Barrier Valve in Extended-Reach Perforating Operations


As well paths become more complex
and larger sections of reservoir are
exposed, the need to perform well
interventions during the life of the
well to maintain performance should LV4 Lubricator Valve
be considered during well planning.
Incorporating the Halliburton
hydraulic LV4 isolation barrier valve
enables operators to deploy long
intervention strings without killing
the well.

The LV4 valve design incorporates a


high-performance ball-closure Tubing-Retrievable
mechanism that provides a bi- Safety Valve
directional seal. Traditionally, well
intervention string lengths are limited
to the length of lubricator that can be
stacked on top of the production tree.
The addition of an LV4 valve extends
these possibilities by placing the
swab valve within the tubing string
below the production tree. This
delivers operational cost savings and
helps improve safety by reducing the
number of surface rig ups and HHC Packer
intervention trips necessary.

The LV4 valve is normally installed in


tandem with the tubing-retrievable
safety valve (TRSV) to provide a fully
testable bi-directional well barrier for
intervention purposes. Positioned
above the TRSV, the LV4 valve
provides a barrier for lubrication
purposes, and when used in Extended Length
conjunction with the TRSV, protects Perforating Guns
the closure mechanism from damage
in the event a toolstring is dropped.
The dual control-line balanced
actuation piston used to function the
LV4 valve allows for unlimited setting
depths, making it suitable for use HA
anywhere within the wellbore. The ID L1

through the LV4 valve maintains full 2
access to the TRSV ID, helping LV4 Isolation Barrier Valve Included in
ensure full functionality of both tools Extended-Reach Perforating Operation
during the life of the well.

Multilateral Drainage Architecture

For today’s more challenging environments, Halliburton


offers a broad range of multilateral solutions that can be
integrated with the Completion Tools product line and are
geared specifically to meet and complement reservoir
engineering demands to enhance the total asset value.

Advanced multilateral architecture was developed to


increase reservoir exposure but can reduce overall field
development costs for the increase in production.
Constraints on platform slot/surface, subsea locations,
and production equipment can leave some areas of a
reservoir underdeveloped, often leaving significant
quantities of oil in place. Enhanced hydrocarbon recovery,
where there is declining production from traditional single
vertical or horizontal wells, can also employ multilateral
technology as a remedial solution to revitalize many fields. 921

Latch Coupling
Multilateral technology, used for both new and re-entry
wells, offers the ability to drain reservoirs more efficiently
and drain multiple reservoirs simultaneously,
notwithstanding different pressure regimes.

Furthermore, using multilateral architecture can reduce


the number of surface locations, which in addition to
reducing overall project costs, mitigates environmental
impact.

The drive to minimize costs and risks on a well-by-well


basis during field development can result in higher well
construction costs to deliver production targets.
Halliburton expertise in delivering innovative multilateral
technology meets the challenge of improving production
and increasing the longevity of a field while reducing the
customer's cost base to deliver greater profitability and a
higher return on investment.

Latch Coupling
At the heart of the Halliburton multilateral system is the
latch coupling, which provides an anchoring mechanism
for accurate placement of the window aperture. The latch
coupling enables full bore drift to the main bore and forms
part of the main bore casing. It becomes a permanent
feature, thus permitting an accurate and repeatable
method of locating Halliburton multilateral tools at the
precise depth and orientation for exit from the window.

Multilateral Pre-Milled Window Systems

Junction construction in new well applications


incorporates a pre-milled casing joint and latch coupling.
The casing joint window is pre-milled axially in line with a
high side reference on the latch coupling to help ensure
anchoring orientation is precisely aligned with the
aperture. The aperture is enclosed in an aluminum sleeve,
which means once installed downhole, milling is easy
because it is only necessary to open the window in the
aluminum sleeve. Debris management is no longer an
issue because it involves no steel cuttings, and lengthy
milling and cleanout trips are eliminated.

LatchRite® Pre-Milled Window


Multilateral System (TAML Level 2 or 4)
The LatchRite® multilateral system provides a high-
strength TAML Level 4 junction with sand control and full-
gauge access to the lateral and main bore via a pre-milled
window. It uses an industry-proven, protected multilateral
washover operation that dresses off the lateral liner and
recovers the whipstock in one efficient operation, thus
achieving zonal isolation using cement. The system can
also be used to construct a TAML Level 2 junction that
helps eliminate the disadvantages of conventional milling.

designed for use in new wells and
incorporates either the aluminum-
wrapped pre-milled window or the all-
aluminum joint, also known as the

conjunction with the latch coupling. It
uses a flexible junction with two

maximum load-carrying capabilities.
This system offers through-tubing

Multilateral Milled Exit Systems

Used in both new and re-entry well applications,


multilateral milled exit systems are junction construction
systems in which all lateral exits are geometrically milled
downhole to emulate the pre-milled window system.
These systems use latch coupling installed in the casing
string of new wells or via an anchor packer with an
integral latch coupling in the case of re-entry into
existing wells.

Feed-Through Seal Assembly


In SmartWell® intelligent completion systems, the feed-
through seal assembly isolates individual zones during
applications where it is not possible or desirable to use
packers for isolation.

The feed-through seal assembly enables bypass of


control lines to communicate with equipment installed
lower in the completion string.

Typical applications are gravel pack or expandable sand


screen completions in which the seal stack assembly
stabs into a polished bore to provide isolation between
different reservoir intervals in the sandface completion.
This ability is based on the use of a stack of robust
bonded seal rings arranged along the assembly length.

The seal assembly allows up to six independent control


lines to bypass, thus enabling control and monitoring of
the equipment below, such as interval control valves
(ICVs) and permanent downhole gauges (PDGs).

The device is capable of isolating zones with differential


pressures of up to 7,500 psi but, unlike the HF-1 packer
range, has no load-bearing capability.

Features
» Simple, effective design
» Multiple sets of bonded seals
» Bypass for up to six control lines
» Field proven

Benefits
» Installs above ICVs and PDGs
» Isolates reservoir intervals without requiring a packer
» Helps eliminate the need for a setting/release system

networked to each SmartPlex module. A signal down the
electrical line switches a solenoid at the desired module,
allowing hydraulic communication between the surface
control unit and valve. By regulating the fluid volume in
combination with a time-domain control method, valves
can be incrementally positioned (choking) to allow for
advanced reservoir management.

Qualification Testing
The SmartPlex control system successfully passed
extensive in-house deep well simulation testing. The tool
was cycled more than 10,000 times at high temperatures
and pressures. A nine-valve system integration test with
15,000-ft control line was also successfully conducted.

nipple profile below the CLCS will straddle the targeted
cut zone. Hydraulic lines are successfully disconnected by
pulling on the tubing string and overcoming the ratings of
the FMJ fittings. In addition, the electrical line is severed
during the pulling motion of the string. Tension on the

DataSphere® LinX® B-Annulus Pressure/Temperature Monitoring


The DataSphere® LinX® monitoring system provides real-
time reservoir and well integrity monitoring in subsea
wells without the need to halt production.

The DataSphere LinX monitoring system monitors well


integrity using wireless through-casing power and
communication. With the LinX system, sensors are
continuously communicating from behind the well
barriers without compromising well integrity or changing
the well design and without major revisions to the
drilling program.

The LinX B-annulus pressure/temperature (P/T)


monitoring system is a wireless through-wellbore
technology that enables placement of a permanent P/T
gauge behind the production casing in the B-annulus. The
system uses electromagnetic power and communication
to drive and communicate with sensors, without the need
for batteries or extra barrier penetrations. Power
downhole and communication with the surface is
provided by industry-standard cable and an IWIS interface
card. This enables the LinX system to be combined with
traditional downhole monitoring on a single cable.

Why B-Annulus Monitoring


Subsea wells have enclosed volume in the B-annulus,
which is prone to operator-induced pressure buildup.
Many current subsea wells make use of the A-annulus for
gas injection, moving the barrier from the A- to the B-
annulus. This makes managing the pressure integrity of
the wellhead more complex because the B-annulus on

picks up any P/T fluctuations, which enables the operator
to detect pressure buildups during production. This new DataSphere® LinX® B-Annulus Pressure/
knowledge drives revenue up, while less costly casing Temperature (P/T) Monitoring System
programs drive capital expenditure down, thus helping
ensure safe well operation and reducing the risks of
costly interventions and non-productive time.

Benefits
» No periodic integrity tests necessary, which saves
testing costs, reduces risks, and helps eliminate
deferred production costs
» Real-time barrier status monitoring
» Identification of potentially more low-cost remediation

downhole interval control valves (ICVs).

A standalone self-contained unit, the SHS consists of an


electro-hydraulic or pneumatic supply capable of
delivering pressurized fluid up to 10,000 psi. It is housed
in a single stainless steel enclosure that includes one
main hydraulic supply module (HSM) and up to six well
control modules (WCMs) with expansion capabilities.

Part of the Digital Infrastructure system, SHS units are


available in a range of designs for every environment.

eRED® Valve

The eRED® valve is a retrievable, computer-controlled ball


valve that can be repeatedly opened and closed by remote
command. Neither connections to the surface nor
interventions are required to communicate with and operate
the valve.

The valve is deployed below either a lock or bridge plug and


can be used as a downhole barrier or flow control device.
With each use of the eRED valve, an intervention is
eliminated from the operation — dramatically reducing rig
time and associated risks.

Applications
Any application in which a wireline plug is used can be
replaced by an eRED valve, achieving the same results but
without repeated interventions. This saves rig time and
associated costs and risks. Often, more than one eRED
valve is deployed during a single operation, which multiplies

Evo-RED® Bridge Plug

The Evo-RED® bridge plug provides a unique and highly


efficient method of deploying and retrieving a downhole
barrier. What makes it unique is that it incorporates a
computer-controlled ball valve that can be remotely opened
and closed multiple times without the need for any control
lines or interventions.

Each time the ball valve is activated, an intervention is


eliminated from the operation, saving a significant amount
of rig time, while helping reduce risks to both the operation
and personnel.

The Evo-RED bridge plug can be used in a wide range of


well operations and is particularly effective as a downhole
barrier during workovers or completion operations, thus
keeping interventions and on-site personnel to a minimum.

Applications
Any application in which a wireline plug is used can be
replaced by the Evo-RED bridge plug. Here, the exact same
results can be achieved but without repeated interventions,
reducing personnel onboard, while saving rig time and the
associated costs and risks. Multiple assemblies can be used

eMotion® Remotely Operated Downhole Control Unit

The eMotion® unit is a computer-controlled, downhole


electro-hydraulic power unit. When connected to the
Halliburton LV isolation barrier valves or HS interval control
valves, the resulting eMotion-LV and eMotion-HS valves are
then permanently deployed as part of the completion.

The eMotion unit allows these “slave” valves to be operated


by remote command without the need for any surface
control lines (and associated tubing hanger penetrations) or
interventions, saving time, costs, and helping reduce risks.

Applications
In principle, interventionless control of any hydraulically
operated tool can be achieved remotely with the integration
of an eMotion unit. The application of the eMotion unit
therefore varies depending on the type of slave valve that it
is integrated with and its planned position within the well.

Operation
The eMotion unit is connected directly to the hydraulic open
and close ports on the slave valve. It has integrated pressure
and temperature sensors that it uses to monitor the well
conditions and is programmed to pump hydraulic fluid down
the relevant control line to either open or close the valve
whenever a specific well condition (trigger) is detected.

The triggers use a variety of well parameters including


ambient pressure, temperature, time, or surface-applied
pressure. Each time a trigger condition is detected, the
eMotion unit reacts by either opening or closing the slave
valve according to its instructions. This process can be
repeated time-and-time again without any form of
intervention.

Controlling the eMotion Unit Remotely


No surface connections or interventions are required to
operate or communicate with the eMotion unit. Instead, by
applying a defined pressure for a defined time at surface,
the operator can activate the pressure window trigger. This
allows direct communication with the eMotion unit so it can
be remotely operated. For example, applying between
HAL104035

1,000 and 1,500 psi for 10 minutes could instruct it to open


the slave valve. The eMotion unit ignores any pressure
applied outside the defined values. Therefore, pressure can
be applied to the tubing (for tubing integrity tests or packer eMotion®
setting, etc.) without the risk of inadvertent activation. Remotely Operated
Downhole Control Unit
Onboard data analysis allows the eMotion unit to distinguish
its own commands from other external factors, such as
naturally fluctuating hydrostatic or reservoir pressure. This
helps enable it to behave as planned, even if the downhole
conditions change unexpectedly.

Frac Sleeve Systems

RapidStage® Systems
RapidStage® systems optimize the completion of
multistage wellbores by enabling highly accurate
placement of stimulation treatments without
intervention. This helps ensure the stimulation treatment
covers the targeted areas in the wellbore and maximizes
the stimulated reservoir area. RapidStage systems can be
run into a wellbore using a casing string to surface or on
liner hanger systems to enable a reliable, trouble-free
cemented or openhole installation.

The RapidStage SE (Single-Entry) fracturing system


incorporates the proven RapidStage SE sleeve,
RapidStart® Initiator, or Initiator CT (Casing Test) sleeve,
and a means of sleeve isolation. Halliburton offers several
isolation options for a variety of reservoir conditions.

To activate RapidStage SE sleeves, frac balls are dropped


in sequence, smallest to largest, from surface using the
Halliburton pneumatic ball launcher. The frac balls seal on
a corresponding millable baffle, shifting the sleeve open,
diverting flow through ports in the sleeve, and providing
isolation from previous stages. After stimulation, cleanup
is assisted by flowing all lower zones simultaneously.

The RapidStage ME (Multi-Entry) fracturing system


provides operators with enhanced options for completing
multi-interval wellbores to enable highly accurate
placement of fractures, with minimal or no intervention.

By allowing multiple entry points per target fracturing


stage, RapidStage ME sleeves allow operators to mimic
traditional plug-and-perf operations with the efficiency of
a ball-drop fracturing sleeve system.

The RapidStage ME system includes both the RapidStage

RapidStart® Initiator Sleeve


The RapidStart® Initiator sleeve provides an
interventionless means of establishing an initial flow path
from the tubing/casing ID to the OD during multizone
fracturing or plug-and-perf operations. Activation is
achieved using absolute pressure on the ID of the sleeve
that exceeds a predetermined shear-pinned value.
Designed for extreme environments, the sleeve can be
cemented in place without losing functionality.

The RapidStart Initiator sleeve uses an air-chambered


mechanism that operates solely off absolute tubing
pressure. Before running the completion, the sleeve is
pinned according to opening requirements dictated by the
well hydrostatics, other tubing pressure-operated tools,
and casing pressure ratings. Opening the internal sleeve
allows flow to be diverted through ports in the outer case
from the ID. Once opened, the sleeve can be used for
stimulation of the first zone in a plug-and-perf-type
completion, thereby eliminating the need for coiled tubing
to establish circulation. Once opened, the sleeve can be
used for stimulation of the first zone in a plug-and-perf or
frac-sleeve-type completion, thereby eliminating the need
for coiled tubing to establish initial flow path.

The rugged construction and debris-tolerant design


allows the RapidStart Initiator sleeve to be successfully
run in cemented applications in both horizontal and
vertical wells.

Features
» Interventionless completion compatibility
» Tubing/casing internal pressure activation
» Available up to 15,000-psi differential ratings or up to
20,000-psi absolute pressure
» Positive locking engagement when sleeve is opened
» Available in standard service and CO2 (S13Cr)
» Shiftable version that can be re-closed after the
initial opening

Benefits
» Allows for interventionless opening of cemented
completion string toe, eliminating coiled tubing
perforating
» Provides flow path to pump first frac stage and displace
first stage ball
» Shiftable version can be closed in case of water
breakthrough or if other wellbore interventions are
required

RapidStart® Initiator CT (Casing Test) Sleeve


The RapidStart® Initiator CT (Casing Test) sleeve is a
pressure-operated fracturing sleeve designed to enable a
casing pressure test before opening and establishing a
fluid flow path to the target formation. This sleeve can be
used with either multistage fracturing sleeve systems or
plug-and-perf operations. Based on the field-proven
RapidStart Initiator sleeve, the RapidStart Initiator CT
sleeve provides industry-leading reliability and efficiency,
while enabling positive verification of casing integrity
before fracturing operations.

Activation of the RapidStart Initiator CT sleeve is achieved


by applying surface pressure to the completion string that
exceeds a predetermined shear-pinned value. Through a
controlled metering process, pressure can then be
increased to perform an accurate casing pressure
integrity test. The metering process allows for a
30-minute or longer test to be conducted at up to
20,000 psi (138 MPa) total pressure and 400°F (204°C)
before the sleeve will open. If at any time the pressure is
released, the sleeve metering process will stop and the
sleeve will not open, allowing for a second opportunity at
obtaining a positive casing pressure test.

Features
» Casing pressure test functionality
» Ability to stop and resume casing test
» Positive locking engagement when sleeve is opened
» 20,000-psi absolute pressure and 17,000-psi differential
pressure rating
» More than 25,000 lb of opening force available

Benefits
» Ability to validate casing integrity before stimulation
» Unique opening process allows second opportunity to
obtain casing pressure integrity test
» Interventionless means of creating a flow path at the
toe of the wellbore
» Eliminates need for a coiled tubing run with tubing-
conveyed or wireline perforating
» Enables fracturing of the first stage and/or
displacement of the second stage frac ball or pumping
of perforating guns and frac between composite frac
plug to depth

RapidShift® Sleeve System


RapidShift® stimulation and production sleeve systems
allow for selective multizone stimulation treatments
through the production string — cemented or open hole.
This versatile sleeve can be operated by either a surface
ball-drop system for increased completion efficiency or by
a hydro-mechanical shifting tool run on coiled or jointed
tubing.

The sleeves are actuated by releasing a ball into the


treatment fluid stream, landing it on a baffle in the sleeve,
and applying additional hydraulic pressure to shift the
sleeve open to expose the ports above the baffle. This
permits zonal stimulation through the selected sleeve by
diverting flow to the open ports and isolating lower zones
from the treatment. After stimulation, cleanup is assisted
by flowing all lower zones simultaneously. The ball and
seats are millable to provide full wellbore access and
allow selective opening and closing for the life of the well.

When using the mechanical-shift RapidShift sleeve


system, there is no limit to the number of sleeves that
can be run in a single completion string. This system
allows selective opening and closing for stimulation and
production with full wellbore access using the hydro-
mechanical shifting tool.

Features
» Enhanced seal design

Shifting Tools for RapidShift® Sleeve Systems


RapidShift® stimulation and production sleeve systems
allow for selective multizone stimulation treatments
through the production string — cemented or open hole.
This versatile sleeve can be operated by either a surface
ball-drop system for increased completion efficiency or by
one of two hydraulic shifting tool options — RapidShift
Hydraulic or High-Expansion shifting tools.

Run as part of a bottomhole assembly, shifting tools are


operated by creating differential pressure in the
workstring to allow the shifting keys to expand outward.
The workstring is then moved up or down to locate the
sleeve shifting profile. Depending on the shifting direction
of the targeted RapidShift sleeve, additional pull or
slackoff force is applied to shift the sleeve to the open or
closed position.

RapidShift sleeves are available with a Halliburton


proprietary profile or an industry-standard B-type profile.
Our hydraulic-shifting tool can handle both by simply
changing the shifting keys. Selective keys are available
that will not auto-release in the event that over-push/pull
indication is desired.

RapidShift® Hydraulic Shifting Tool


The hydraulic shifting tool is used to manipulate the inner
sleeve of a RapidShift sleeve system, allowing the
sleeves to be either open or closed before, after, or during
stimulation. The shifting tool features bi-directional auto-
release shifting keys and is designed to be deployed on
either coiled tubing or jointed pipe.

RapidForce® FS (Full Straddle) Sleeve System


Enabling unlimited entry points to maximize stimulation
of the reservoir, the RapidForce® FS (Full Straddle) sleeve
system provides operators a cost-effective completion
solution to increase wellbore production. The RapidForce
FS sleeve is a pressure-operated multistage fracturing
sleeve activated with a straddle packer system run on
coiled tubing or jointed pipe.

RapidForce FS sleeves are run as an integral part of the


completion casing string with either cement or openhole
packer isolation. The sleeve features a large ID and exit
port flow area to maximize production. Additionally,
because these sleeves are not activated by a ball-drop

StimJet™ Frac Port Inserts


StimJet™ frac port inserts are erodible jets that can be
threaded into the exit ports of a RapidStage® or
RapidShift® sleeve. StimJet ports combine the operational
efficiency of a ball-drop completion with the pinpoint
fracturing of hydra-jetting.

In an openhole application, the fracture can initiate


anywhere along the wellbore from packer to packer
depending on where the formation is the weakest.
StimJet ports erode a tunnel into the formation to provide
a primary fracture location opposite the sleeve in the
wellbore. After the StimJet ports create a tunnel in the
formation, the ports themselves erode away, removing
the flow resistance and allowing the primary fracture to
be pumped at the desired rate.

In traditional openhole applications with multistage frac


sleeves, a transverse fracture must initiate as an axial
fracture and then transition to the transverse direction.
The tunnel created by the StimJet ports eliminates this
transition and the resulting tortuosity.

StimJet ports also provide better surface pressure


indication of sleeve actuation. When a ball lands and the
sleeve shifts open, the only indication of this event is the
pressure wave transmitted to the surface pressure
transducer. The added flow resistance of the StimJet
ports allows for a more pronounced pressure wave,
increasing the probability of a visible pressure event.

Features
» Proven simplistic design
» Erodes to a diameter of 0.75-in. for maximum
treatment area
» Flush mount design does not increase tool OD

Benefits
» Provides predictable fracture locations at the sleeve
» Eliminates near-wellbore fracture tortuosity by
preventing axial to transverse fracture transition
» Provides a more pronounced surface pressure
response when the ball lands and sleeve shifts

RapidBall™ Landing Collar


The Halliburton RapidBall™ landing collar is a versatile
casing attachment that can be added to any completion
casing string to create a temporary isolation point while
performing various applications, such as testing the
casing string, isolation of fracturing stages, and setting
hydraulic-set downhole tools.

Graduated landing baffle sizes within the RapidBall


landing collar allow for multiple tools to be run in a single
completion casing string. Once the landing collar is set on
depth, a RapidBall self-removing frac ball will be pumped
to the landing collar and will seat in the landing baffle. This
creates a pressure seal that allows pressure to be applied
from the surface to perform downhole applications but
will not hold pressure from below.

Once the job is performed, time, temperature, and well


fluids cause the RapidBall self-removing frac ball to
degrade, thus restoring wellbore flow from the surface.

Features
» Compatible with RapidBall self-removing frac ball
technology
» Multiple tools can be run in a single wellbore

EZ Drill® Packers and Bridge Plugs


The EZ Drill® line of tools consists of packers and bridge
plugs that can be used for applications such as wellbore
isolation, remedial cementing, and plug and
abandonment. Halliburton offers two styles of packers: a
poppet valve squeeze packer and a sliding valve (SV/SVB)
squeeze packer. The poppet valve squeeze packer
contains a one-way check valve that allows operators to
place cement below the packer and check backflow
without the need for workstring manipulation to open or
close the poppet valve. The SV squeeze packer can
control flow and differential pressure in either direction by
workstring manipulation of the sliding valve inside the
tool. Through a conversion kit, either of these packers can
be altered to create a top-drilling bridge plug capable of
holding differential pressure in either direction.

Casing Alignment Tool


Severe corrosive action, excess tensile loading, or joint
backoff during drilling operations might part casing
strings. Sometimes these parted sections become
misaligned, making well operations difficult.

In such case, the operator must either abandon further


work below this point or realign and stabilize the parted
casing, adding extra time and cost to the operation.

Casing Alignment
The Halliburton casing alignment tool has been used to
successfully realign and permanently stabilize many
parted casing strings. The casing alignment tool is made
up by connecting threads at the lower end of the EZ Drill®
(poppet valve) squeeze packer. The EZ Drill SVB squeeze
packer can be used in conjunction with a poppet-type
valve adapter kit. When lowered into the well, the tapered
nose of the alignment tool guides the main body into the
shifted lower casing (Figure 1).

Continued lowering forces the larger, close-fitting outer


case of the alignment tool into the lower casing string to
align the casing sections.

Casing Stabilization
The EZ Drill (or adapted EZ Drill SVB) squeeze packer is
set by tubing or drillpipe to pack off within the upper
string. The packer forms an upper seal for placement of
permanent stabilizing cement behind the realigned casing
and holds the alignment tool in place across the parted
section of the casing. Cement slurry is then pumped
through the squeeze packer and the alignment tool filling
the casing and the formation annular space, surrounding
the casing alignment tool (Figure 2). After the cement
sets, the squeeze packer, alignment tool, and cement are
drilled out using a conventional rock bit, leaving a uniform
HAL15580

diameter passage through the casing ID (Figure 3). The


new cement barrier also helps isolate the casing interior
from formation fluid or gas intrusion.

Equipment
After the problem well is evaluated, the proper alignment
tool is built. Casing alignment tools are custom
manufactured for specific jobs because of the variety of
diameter/length combinations possible. Alignment tool
ODs vary according to individual casing weights to
minimize clearance between the alignment tool and the
casing ID. This helps establish minimum alignment
variation between upper and lower realigned casing
sections. Alignment tool lengths vary because casing
separation lengths vary as do the lengths of damaged
casing. Experience proves that 10 ft of alignment tool
should extend into good pipe on both sides of the
damaged or parted casing.

As mentioned, the lower end of the EZ Drill® (poppet


valve) squeeze packers have threads to attach the
alignment tool.

EZ Drill squeeze packers are not made for casings


7 5/8 in. or larger, so the EZ Drill SVB squeeze packer plus
poppet valve conversion kit is necessary to attach the
alignment tool. This conversion kit also changes the
packer from side discharge to bottom discharge so
cement slurry will flow through the alignment tool and
exit at the lower end.

The casing alignment tool is available in 4 1/2-in. to


20-in. sizes.

DrillGun™ Assembly (EZSVB)


The DrillGun™ assembly is a drillable perforating system
that provides reliable, quality performance while lowering
overall wellsite costs by:
» Eliminating the high costs associated with
wireline services
» Eliminating the need to switch to a mud system
during workovers

The DrillGun perforating system combines rugged,


reliable Halliburton perforating components with the
versatility of drillable materials. The DrillGun perforating
system is a drillable, disposable system that helps save
time and costs.

Components of the drillable perforating system are


drillpipe conveyed to the zone of interest, thereby
eliminating mobilization or demobilization charges
normally associated with wireline units. Additionally,
because no mud system is needed, clear fluids can
remain in place for workover operations. When the
EZ Drill® SVB packer is set, the firing head is actuated by
pressure applied through the tubing. After perforating, the
gun can be drilled out using conventional drilling methods.

The drillable perforating system is ideal for:


» Single-trip perforating, packer placement, and
cementing on tubing
» Cementing and perforating in underbalanced conditions
» Plug-to-abandon operations
» Workover cementing with clear fluids
» Plugback set on wireline
» Limited-entry drillstem testing

Components of the drillable perforating system include:


» Aluminum perforating gun
» High-performance perforating charges
» Halliburton industry-proven EZ Drill SVB packer

Fas Drill® Packers and Bridge Plugs


The Fas Drill® line of tools consists of composite packers
and bridge plugs that can be used for applications such as
wellbore isolation, stimulation isolation, remedial
cementing, and temporary plug and abandonment.
Halliburton offers a composite sliding valve (SVB) squeeze
packer that can control flow and differential pressure in
either direction by workstring manipulation of the sliding
valve inside the tool. The Fas Drill bridge plug,
manufactured from composite materials, functions
similarly to a conventional drillable bridge plug. It is ideal
for situations requiring temporary abandonment or where
minimal weight is available to remove a conventional
metal bridge plug. As with all Halliburton drillable bridge
plugs, they are drilled from the top down, providing
reliable well control.

Features and Benefits


» Can be set mechanically or hydraulically on jointed pipe,
coiled tubing, electric wireline, or slickline using the
Halliburton DPU® downhole power unit
» Sets in a wide range of casing sizes and grades
» Tool OD held to a minimum, allowing more clearance
between the tool and casing for faster run-in
» Helps save rig time and reduce casing damage caused
by long drillout processes
» Drills out with conventional tricone, PDC, or with junk-
mill bits

Mechanical Setting Tool


The Halliburton mechanical setting tool sets and operates
all drillable tools. This setting tool is run on tubing or
drillpipe and is operated by workstring rotation and
reciprocation.

The load transfer feature of the tool limits the amount of


string weight that can be applied to the sliding valve. This
feature helps ensure that the packer mandrel is placed in
compression rather than in tension, making the tool more
resistant to breakage.

Features and Benefits


» Acts as a load transfer device
» Provides positive indication when packer is set
» Allows tubing or drillpipe to be rotated as the tool
comes out of the hole

Operation
The drag blocks/springs contact the well casing to restrict
the rotation of the outer components while the right-hand
rotation of the workstring causes the outer components
to move down and begin the setting motion.

The right-hand rotation unlatches the packer lock ring and


sets the top slips. An upward pull on the workstring
completely sets the packer and releases it from the
setting tool.

Additional right-hand rotation moves the setting tool’s


outer components farther downward to unlock the upper
mandrel from the drag blocks, which moves the setting
tool’s outer components upward. This movement allows
the lower mandrel to extend down far enough to operate
the squeeze packer sliding valve. The disengagement also
causes the setting tool to become freewheeling, so the
workstring can be rotated out of the hole without causing
excessive wear on the setting tool drag blocks/springs.

The setting tool will not cycle again until it is redressed


with the setting sleeve properly locked in place, and the
keys are returned to their grooves.

BP Hydraulic Setting Tool


BP hydraulic setting tools set Halliburton drillable packers
and plugs with workstring pressure. They have no
mechanism for operating tools once they are set.
Because BP hydraulic setting tools use no plugs or balls
for operation, they are ideal for horizontal applications.

Design Features
BP hydraulic setting tools can be run on drillpipe, tubing,
or coiled tubing. Two versions of the BP hydraulic setting
tool are available: fill and non-fill.
» Fill-type BP hydraulic setting tools have a hydrostatically
operated fill valve that allows the workstring to fill
during the trip into the hole. This fill valve has shear
pins that are preset at the surface to a predetermined
hydrostatic pressure. Once the fill valve reaches the
preset hydrostatic pressure, the pins shear and the fill
valve closes and locks. The fill valve cannot be opened
after it closes.
» Non-fill BP hydraulic setting tools have no means for
filling the workstring on the trip in, so an auxiliary fill
valve (RTTS® bypass, etc.) or filling from the surface is
necessary. The differential pressure between the
wellbore fluid and dry workstring does not adversely
load the setting mechanism during the trip in.

In both versions, the setting piston is activated by a


predetermined internal pressure applied to the
workstring. This pressure shears the pins holding the
setting piston, moving it down against the plug and
setting the top slips. Additional pressure fully sets the
plug or packer and parts the tension sleeve/pins.

After the plug or packer sets, the workstring is raised 4 to


5 ft (1.22 to 1.52 m). Continued internal pressure to the
workstring causes the setting piston to move down,
which opens the tool to establish circulation. Cement can
then be spotted on top of the plug.

HCT Setting Tool


Hydraulic setting tools are used for applications in which
pulling forces are necessary to set packers or plugs
downhole. For example, these tools can be used to set
cast-iron bridge plugs, Fas Drill® plugs and packers,
permanent packers, or squeeze cement retainers. These
setting tools can also be used for any application in which
a conventional wireline setting tool would be used.
Because no explosives are necessary, special training is
not required to operate these tools. Horizontal wells and
wells without a rig that already have a coiled tubing unit
(CTU) in place are the most common applications for
hydraulic setting tools.

These setting tools are hydraulically activated when a ball


is dropped into the tool and tubing pressure is applied.
They also have a circulation port that can be uncovered
after the plug is set. This feature allows cement to be
pumped down on top of the plug, saving another trip in
the hole.

The 1.81-in. OD hydraulic setting tool can be run with only


three pulling cylinder assemblies, but the maximum
pulling force is reduced. The total working area will be
2.896 in.², which yields an output force of 13,900 lb
(6305 kg). The 1.81-in. OD assembly has the same profile
as the 1 11/16-in. GO setting tool.

The 3.64-in. OD assembly has the same profile as the


Baker No. 10 setting tool.

The 3.81-in. OD assembly will have the same profile as


the Baker No. 20 setting tool.

Features and Benefits


» The bottom connections emulate common wireline
setting tools
» Circulation ports are available to use for spotting
cement
» Setting tools can be run on regular or coiled tubing
» Hydraulic setting tools require no explosives
» Tools continue to build pressure in the workstring
above the ball so the ball-drop sleeve shears open,
establishing circulation through the assembly

Openhole Isolation Packers

ZoneGuard® FP Packer
The ZoneGuard® FP (Frac Pack) packer is designed to
provide effective, economical annular isolation in
openhole wellbore sections, while remaining versatile
enough for cased-hole isolation applications. It is primarily
used in wellbores that require multizone isolation for
stimulating, fracturing, or general production operations.

The ZoneGuard FP packer is run as an integral part of the


production casing or tubing string and is set with hydraulic
pressure by setting a plug beneath the tool. The packer
uses a uniquely designed element package with backup
system to deliver consistent sealing performance in a
defined range of openhole and cased-hole sizes.
Additionally, the compact design is ideal for wellbores
with short radius build angles or high dogleg severity well
conditions. The design also provides additional value for
wells in which a significant number of packers need to be
run, such as unconventional shale plays, to isolate dozens
of individual zones.

Swellpacker® System Technologies

Swellpacker® Isolation System


The Halliburton Swellpacker® isolation system is an
innovative technology that offers simple, safe, and reliable
downhole isolation. The Swellpacker system is based on
the swelling properties of rubber in hydrocarbons, water,
or both. A Swellpacker system can swell up to 200%,
sealing the annulus around the pipe to achieve effective
zonal isolation. Once deployed, the rubber retains its
flexibility, allowing the Swellpacker isolation system to

Swellpacker® Slip-On Isolation System


The Swellpacker® Slip-On isolation system provides
effective zonal isolation with slip-on convenience. This
modular design can slide onto any non-upset casing or
tubing string. Therefore, these packers do not require
basepipe supplied upfront during the manufacturing
process and can be easily installed at the rig site. This
enables storing and stocking of the tools, simplifies
logistics, and reduces costs significantly. This pioneering
slip-on packer also features a full-length internal seal. This
helps ensure the Swellpacker Slip-On system provides an
effective seal to the borehole ID and against the pipe,
unlike other slip-on designs that rely on o-rings that can
be easily cut when installed on the basepipe.

Like bonded-to-pipe Swellpacker systems, once deployed,


the rubber element retains its flexibility, allowing the
Swellpacker Slip-On system to adapt to formation shifts
over time to maintain seal integrity. Its self-healing
properties make it a truly innovative technology for all Swellpacker® Slip-On
zonal isolation applications, whether in cased or openhole Isolation System
environments. In some openhole applications, operators
might be able to avoid cementing and perforating
altogether, thus reducing the costs associated with
these operations.

Swellpacker® Cable System


Winner of multiple industry awards for its spliceless feed-
through capabilities, the Swellpacker® Cable system
simplifies and reduces risks during completion system
installations that require the use of control lines,
flatpacks, injection lines, fiber-optic cables, or other
surface-controlled devices. Each line can be installed in 20
minutes compared to hours with conventional feed-
through packer systems. This provides operators with
significant costs savings by reducing rig time. The
spliceless connections enabled by the Swellpacker Cable
system help eliminate the need for cable splices, control
line cuts, and cable stripping, which can increase the risks
of signal degradation or loss caused by performing these
processes at each packer. As a result, installation
reliability is increased with every connection. The

control of unwanted water production or reservoir
management. The HS elastomer option is ideal for
situations in which the fluid that can activate the packer is
unknown at the time of design. Halliburton HS
elastomers swell in the presence of either water or oil to
help achieve a competent annular seal.

Swelling Delay Systems


To help minimize the effect of oil or water contained
within the well fluid on the packer while it is run in hole,
HAL32569

Halliburton engineered several systems that can delay the


swelling process. These delay systems help enable
control of the elastomer swelling process, thus helping K2
ensure the setting time can be tailored according to the End Ring
customer's needs. This mitigates premature setting risks
while optimizing the Swellpacker system operating
envelope. The swelling delay systems include the use of
polymers with built-in slower swelling properties and/or a
variety of applied diffusion barriers, which help inhibit fluid
intake. Because of meticulous systems testing and
qualification, customizing a design with either of these
options, or using them in combination, allows Halliburton
to create a well-specific engineered product.

Standard End Ring Design


End rings are placed at either end of the selected
swellable elastomer and assist in increasing the packer
differential pressure capability and guiding the packer
when run in hole. The Halliburton standard end ring
design includes a tapered leading edge and is flush with
the packer element to provide protection. Depending on
the application and requirements, the end ring can be
made from a variety of materials and anchored using set
screws, a crimping process, or welding.

VersaFlex® XSL Expandable Liner Hanger System


VersaFlex® XSL expandable liner hanger (ELH) systems
combine the latest design features from across our
portfolio of liner hangers that are ideal for onshore and
offshore applications. The VersaFlex XSL hanger system
is designed to improve the deliverability of a low-to-
moderate load-bearing ELH without sacrificing its gas-
tight sealing capability or reliability. The system can bring
significant value to your well construction project without
compromising quality and continues the legacy of our
industry-leading ELH technology with a total system
approach to liner installations.

The unique body profile of the VersaFlex XSL liner hanger


system uses engineered extrusion limiter spikes, which
provide a fully compliant metal-to-metal (MTM) seal with
full bi-directional anchoring capability. Its ability to provide
a 360° MTM seal is backed by redundant resilient
elastomeric seals to account for any imperfections in the
parent casing. The system offers no external moving parts
and its unique integral design eliminates any body
connections below the hanger body to minimize
leak paths.

XtremeGrip™ Expandable Liner Hanger System


Halliburton XtremeGrip™ and XtremeGrip high-pressure/
high-temperature (HP/HT) expandable liner hanger (ELH)
systems take the standard VersaFlex® liner hanger to the
next level. This high-performance, advanced technology
provides a compliant metal-to-metal (MTM) seal with a
fully bonded resilient elastomeric seal to account for
imperfections in the parent casing. Its ability to provide an
ISO 14310 V0-tested, gas-tight seal on setting is
surpassed only by its ability to provide enhanced hang-
weight capabilities at elevated temperatures up to 575°F
(302°C) and pressures up to 15,000 psi.

Ideal for use from land to deep water and HP/HT


applications, and wherever long liners are deployed, the
XtremeGrip and XtremeGrip HP/HT systems are designed
to mitigate risks and maintain hang-weight capabilities at
elevated temperatures and pressures. The system offers
increased robustness associated with liners and liner
deployment. The hanger and running tool are assembled
together and form an intrinsic packoff, which minimizes
downhole tool components and potential leak paths while
cementing. The standard running tool setup offers
washdown capabilities, rotation capabilities without
bearings, and simultaneously allows for reciprocation of
the liner. Once the cement is placed and the tool actuates
the expansion process, the hanger is set to offer bi-
directional load capabilities and provide a gas-tight, liner-
top seal, which eliminates remedial liner-top squeeze jobs
after setting.

The unique body profile of the XtremeGrip and


XtremeGrip HP/HT systems utilizes engineered extrusion
limiter rings to provide MTM sealing and full bi-directional
anchoring capability in all casing grades at elevated
temperatures. Its clean-form design offers a smooth radial
flow path allowing for an unrestricted bypass area, which
assists in reducing equivalent circulating densities (ECDs)
during all operation phases.

Expandable Liner Hanger Setting Tools


Halliburton offers various setting tool designs based on
the hanger configuration and application. Primary
systems are:
» Standard ball/flapper set
» Quick lock
» High torque
» Low equivalent circulating density (ECD)
» Big Bore
» Breech lock adjustable pressure setting tool

The expandable liner hanger expansion (setting) is


accomplished using a hydraulically actuated liner running/
setting tool assembly. This unique system provides the
necessary expansion mechanics, cementing packoff
system, a collet assembly to carry the liner weight and
transfer that weight to the drillstring while providing
torque, and an expansion indicator assembly. The running/
setting tool assembly features a primary and secondary
releasing system for maximum reliability.

Features
Each tool design is unique; however, each cementing liner
hanger running tool contains four primary components,
which simplifies processes and enhances reliability.
» Piston provides the transition from pressure to force
during the expansion process. Various forms of pistons
and force multipliers are used to create force.
» Crossover valve incorporates multiple porting, which
allows pressure paths for hydraulic expansion and fluid
returns paths during the reverse out process.
» Expansion cone assembly uses the force from the
piston to drive the cone into the hanger body,
expanding it into the parent casing.
» Collet assembly transfers the load of the liner string
being conveyed into the wellbore to the drillpipe and
transmits torque to the liner through contact with the
collet retainer to torque adapter.

Benefits
» Allows for washing and reaming during deployment
without special configurations of each tool
» Higher circulating rates and pressures than
conventional systems
» Allows rotation and reciprocation during cementing
operations
» Debris-tolerant porting
» Simplified setting processes and procedures
» Redundant setting features on all flapper-set tools

MatchSet™ Hydraulic Latch Landing Collar with Ball Catcher


The MatchSet™ hydraulically activated landing collar is
used when running hydraulic-set liner hangers or other
hydraulic-activated components in a liner string. A setting
ball lands in the ball seat allowing pressure to be applied
to the hanger to set the slips. This releases the hydraulic
running tool from the liner at a higher pressure before
shearing the pre-installed shear pins and removing the
seat from the flow path. A retained ball-seat design
prevents the sheared-out cage and ball assembly from
interfering with float equipment installed below the
landing collar. Large milled slots provide an unrestricted
flow area while cementing. Internal components are
constructed of wrought aluminum and are compatible
for drillout.

Float Equipment for Expandable and Conventional


Liner Hangers

Super Seal II® Float Equipment


Super Seal II® floating equipment is installed in and
becomes an integral part of the casing string. This
equipment helps float and cement the casing in the well.
The equipment's basic backpressure and temperature
ratings (5,000 psi and 400°F) allow it to be used in most
wells. The plastic valve materials and surrounding shear
and shockload-resistant concrete exceed the strength
requirements for landing cementing plugs. The valve
assembly and the cement holding the valve assembly in

HAL8101
place can be drilled out easily with roller-cone rock bits or
polycrystalline diamond compact bits after cementing
operations. All casing-size Super Seal II float shoes and
collars are supplied with an autofill feature. Customers
can request Super Seal II float equipment for any casing Super Seal II®
grade or premium thread. Float Collar

Super Seal II Float Collar


The Super Seal II float collar includes the Super Seal II
backpressure valve, which prevents cement pumped into
the casing/wellbore annulus from re-entering the casing
ID after cementing operations. The float collar is normally
installed one or two joints above the float or guide shoe.

Float Shoe

The high-port up-jet (HPUJ) float shoe jets the formation


face to remove detrimental mudcake and cuttings,
increasing the chances of a successful cement-to-
formation bond. The high circulation rates and cement Super Seal II®
flow rates that are possible with the Super Seal II float High-Port Up-Jet
valve allow turbulent flow at the shoe without damaging (HPUJ) Float Shoe
the float valve.
» Approximately 40% of the fluid pumped through the

Wireline-Set Perma-Series® TWC Packers


The Halliburton TWC Perma-Series® packer is a
permanent millable packer set by wireline in the well
casing to divert casing-to-tubing flow. An internal slip
inhibits mandrel movement caused by pressure and load
reversals. Once the packer is set, it cannot be released.
However, the packer can be milled out. A lug on the top
slip support and the internal slip prevent the packer from
rotating during milling operations.

The TWC packer features an on-off gudgeon with an


overshot seal unit on the upper end to engage the tubing
to the packer. The gudgeon contains a profile to accept a
wireline plug to allow the packer to be used as a bridge
plug when the tubing is disconnected. The packer can be
run and set with a wireline plug pre-installed. The
overshot engages the gudgeon using an automatic
J-profile and is disconnected with 1/4 turn to the left at
the packer. Refer to the “On-Off Tool” section of the
catalog for more details about the XL on-off tool features.

The TWC packer mandrel is of a single-piece construction,


from the gudgeon to the bottom thread of the packer. This
eliminates o-rings and potential leak paths.

Setting Adapter Kits and Hydraulic Setting Tools


Setting Adapter Kits
Halliburton adapter kits are designed to be attached to the
packer and either a conventional explosive-type wireline
setting tool or a hydraulic setting tool. When the setting
tool is activated, the setting adapter kit sets the packer.
When prescribed setting force is applied to the packer,
setting pins in the wireline adapter kit separate to release
setting equipment from the packer so it can be retrieved.

Hydraulic Setting Tools


Hydraulic setting tools allow packers normally run and set
on electric wireline to be run and set on a workstring
instead.

Various configurations of setting adapter kits and setting


tools are possible. Figure 1 features a standard electric
wireline adapter kit in which the packer and adapter kit are
connected directly to the hydraulic setting tool.

In Figure 2, the packer is connected directly to the


hydraulic setting tool; therefore, no adapter kit is required.
This setting tool incorporates a seal in the packer bore
that enables an annulus test against the packer before
expending the ball and seat.

Figure 3 shows a hydraulic setting tool designed for use


only on certain Perma-Series® packers. It provides an
additional anti-preset mechanism by limiting downward
movement of the tube guide and top slip carrier until the
hydraulic-setting mechanism is activated. A stabilizer bar
with packoff is provided to test the annulus against the
packer before shearing off the packer and expending the
ball seat. No tubing rotation is required for
disengagement from the packer.

In all three cases, the setting ball and seat are set to shear
at a predetermined pressure, which exposes a port to
allow tubing-to-casing communication. The operator can
then pull a dry workstring.

Hydraulic-Set Perma-Series® HP/HT Packer


The hydraulic-set Perma-Series® high-pressure/high-
temperature (HP/HT) packer, designed for extreme-
service conditions, is a permanent, millable packer set in
the well casing to divert casing-to-tubing flow. In addition
to HP/HT ratings, this packer offers high tubing-to-packer
load ratings. It features a tubing thread top connection
and is hydraulically set by applying pressure to the
plugged tubing string. A special shear sleeve attached to
the bottom slip carrier allows the packer to set without
the need for mandrel movement. It has a low profile for
greater running clearance to help reduce problems that
can occur when running in highly deviated and horizontal
wells. Premium metal-to-metal (MTM) thread
connections enhance packer dependability. The
Halliburton unique double opposing barrel slips and
HP/HT element systems are unsurpassed in the industry
for efficient gripping and sealing against the casing wall
under the toughest of conditions.

VGP Packers
The large-bore Versa-Latch® gravel pack (VGP)-style
packer is an integral part of the Versa-Trieve® packer family
of tools. It provides a larger bore than the VTA packers (in
a given casing size and weight) by eliminating the
element mandrel, while still retaining many of the Versa-
Trieve packer line features. Because the element mandrel
is eliminated, the lower element retainer is pinned to the
packer mandrel, and an additional set of anti-rotation pins
are added for ease of milling. The VGP packer also
includes a top snap guide for collet locations.

Upper Sealbore VSA Versa-Trieve® Packer


For applications in which a larger bore is required through
the seal assembly, Halliburton can provide an upper
sealbore packer head design that has a larger ID than the
packer mandrel and can accept a short seal assembly and
Versa-Latch locator.

Weight-Down Versa-Trieve and PGP Packers


All the packers described previously can be provided as
weight-down packer designs for weight-down squeeze
and circulate gravel packing and FracPac™ systems. The
weight-down packers use the slots in the top sub and
setting sleeve. These slots align when the packer is in the
set position. This provides a flow path for return fluids
during a gravel packing operation or pressure monitoring
during a FracPac system operation.

Versa-Trieve® Packer Retrieving Tool


Versa-Trieve® retrieving tools are used to retrieve
Versa-Trieve packers. To retrieve the packer, the retrieving
tool is run on a workstring, stung into the packer bore, and
latched into the Versa-Trieve packer. Once latched, the
tool locates the packer’s release sleeve and moves it
upward, allowing the packer to be released. Additional
upward movement of the workstring releases the sleeve
and moves the packer mandrel up, which allows the
packer slips to retract and the packer to be retrieved.

No rotation is necessary in the pulling operation. To


release the pulling tool from the packer, only a 1/4 turn to
the right is needed on the J-latch-type locators. Additional
rotation (six to eight turns) is required to release from the
Versa-Latch® locator from the packer top sub.

Benefits
» No rotation required for pulling operation
» Straight-through ID allows washing down to the packer
» Easy to release with 1/4 turn on lug-type tools (VRT
type) and six to eight turns on a Versa-Latch tool
(VRA type)
» Rugged lug-type design engages the release sleeve

Retrievable Hydraulic-Set Packers


Hydraulic-Set Perma-Lach® PHL Packers
The Perma-Lach® PHL hydraulic-set retrievable packer is a
high-performance, straight-shear-release packer. The PHL
packer has no holddown buttons, helping eliminate
potential leakage from the o-rings.

The PHL packer’s optimized OD speeds the run-in


process. Setting is achieved by running the packer in on
tubing, dropping a ball, or setting a slickline plug and
applying pressure. No tubing manipulation is required. To
release, pull straight up on the production tubing. Setting
pressures can be field adjusted, allowing multiple packers
to be run and set during a single trip. Tubing can also be
spaced out before the packer is set.

Applications
» Single or multi-packer production completions
» Can be used as the lower packer in dual completions
» Can be set at predetermined pressures or selectively
set in multizone completions
» Up to 7,500 psi (51.7 MPa) differential pressure typical

Features
» Optimized OD
» Triple-seal multidurometer elements
» Shear screws allow operators to vary the setting
pressure and release force
» Release mechanism protected from premature
shearing
» No mandrel movement when setting

Benefits
» Setting pressures can be adjusted in the field
» No tubing manipulation required for setting
» Requires only a straight pull to release
» Multiple packers can be run and set in one trip
» High performance at low cost
» Tubing can be spaced out before the packer is set

ZoneGuard® HE Packer
The Halliburton ZoneGuard® HE (High-Expansion) packer
is designed for situations in which a high-expansion
sealing element is required and when large variations in
hole gauge diameter are anticipated. The packer uses a
multidurometer, multi-element package with a unique
backup and deployment system to deliver industry-
leading sealing performance in the most challenging
wellbore environments. The packer is well-suited for zonal
isolation in multiple applications, such as sand control,
production management, stimulation, and
stage cementing.

The ZoneGuard HE packer is run as part of the completion


string and can be set either hydrostatically or hydraulically,
depending on the well conditions. The hydrostatic-set
ZoneGuard HE packer requires a shifting tool to shift an
internal sleeve that allows the hydrostatic pressure to
enter the setting chamber and set the packer. The
hydraulic-set ZoneGuard HE packer can be set by
plugging the tubing below the packer or with an isolation
straddle tool to provide hydraulic pressure to the setting
chamber. The hydraulic ZoneGuard HE packer can also
contain a hydrostatic-assist feature, which helps maintain
positive pressure on the packer at all times.

Applications
» Deepwater, unconventional, and mature assets
» Open or cased-hole applications (horizontal or vertical)
» Production management
» Sand control
» Stimulation
» Stage cementing
» Water and gas shutoff

Features
» Hydrostatic-assist feature for positive pressure

B-Series Wireline-Retrievable Packers


B-series packers are large bore pack-off devices that can
be set at a predetermined point anywhere in the tubing
or casing.

A slip system on the tool’s outer body anchors the packer


to the wellbore, while a packing element provides a
pressure seal. The tools are typically run and retrieved
using conventional well intervention methods along with
Halliburton RO and PK service tools.

Applications
B-series packers are “utility” packers designed for a wide
range of applications.

The base model is the BB0 packer, which is primarily used


as an anchoring device for the suspension of various well
intervention tools, such as water injection valves,
downhole gauges, and safety valves (Storm Choke®
safety valves). It can also be used as a plugging device by
attaching a remote equalizing sub (i.e., pump-out plug) or
prong equalizing sub.

The BB0 model forms the base for both the BR0 sealbore
packer and the BV0 velocity string packer.

The BR0 packer incorporates an upper seal receptacle,


making it ideal for use in modular straddle systems in
addition to the standard BB0 packer applications.

The BV0 packer uses a Ratch-Latch™-type running head


that is designed for use with the Halliburton CT hydraulic
running tool. This configuration allows large weights to be
suspended from the packer while running in hole and
makes the BV0 packer ideal for velocity string, long
isolation straddle, and sand control applications.

» One-piece dual-modulus packing element
» Compact, modular design
» High running and retrieval speeds
» Large footprint segmented slip mechanism

Seal Units
Halliburton offers molded, crimp, and premium seal units.
Molded and crimp seals are recommended for
applications in which the seal will be going in and out of
the sealbore. Premium seals are ideal for applications that
require the seal units remain in the sealbore.

All seal units are designed for easy field redress. The
geometry of the seals helps them provide a more positive
seal as they are subjected to higher pressures and
temperatures. Many seal unit types are available, and
others can be designed to fit specific needs.

Premium seal units are V-packing seal systems of either


elastomeric or plastic materials with a plastic and metal
backup system. The V-ring lips are designed to have an

HAL11426

HAL8471

initial interference fit with the sealbore. The lips respond
to pressure increases by flexing outward. Various backup
material combinations can be used with each V-packing
Crimp Molded Molded Seal
seal to make it suitable for different temperatures

and pressures.

Crimp seals, in combination with centering rings and


debris barrier rings, can be fitted on long seal mandrels,
which eliminate threaded connections typically used on
successive chevron stacks. The crimp seal consists of a
rubber seal ring that is fitted to a groove on the seal
mandrel. The seal is retained to the groove by a metal ring
crimped over the seal. It is available in various elastomers
and can be fitted with anti-extrusion
backup rings.

While it has long been considered a best practice in high-


pressure/high-temperature sealbore applications to limit
seal movement using a Ratch-Latch™ or seal anchor,

Muleshoe Guides
Muleshoe guides provide a means to guide the end of the
tubing away from the casing wall, then enter the liner
tops or packer bores. The muleshoe length varies with
the application, from centralization to seal guide and

protection to flow isolation sleeve.

Collet muleshoe guides combine the muleshoe features


with an indicator collet to provide a surface indication of Muleshoe
the packer seals entering or exiting a packer bore. Push- Guide
through and no-go-type collets are available for indication
on the packer or a special ID sub below the packer.

Self-aligning muleshoe guides allow the end of the guide


to rotate and orient with the liner top without rotation of
the tubing. This tool is particularly useful in dual-wellbore

Polished Bore Assembly


The polished bore assembly (PBA) consists of a no-go
seal assembly pinned to a polished bore receptacle (PBR),
and once sheared, provides tubing elongation and
contraction capabilities. The PBA can be placed anywhere
in the tubing string to provide a floating seal and maintain Casing
equivalent tubing ID. It is most commonly used above a Conversion Kit
production packer when running a single-trip upper
completion.

Applications
» Used in applications requiring large bores, dynamic
sealing, and the ability to retrieve the upper completion

Features
» One-piece body design
» Stroke lengths of 10 and 20 ft (3.0 and 6.1 m)
» Right-hand rotation releases the PBR from the packer
» Adjustable shear value
» Optional modular conversion kits to centralize inside
larger casing sizes
» Molded and V-packing seal configurations

Benefits
» Maintains maximum available IDs through the
completion
» Allows for a single-trip packer installation
» Easily retrieved with a fishing tool spear without
disturbing the packer
» Minimal internal connections for fewer potential
leak paths

Travel Joints
Halliburton travel joints provide alternate methods of
compensating for tubing contraction and elongation in
producing, injection, and disposal wells. They are run as
an integral part of the tubing string and have a full tubing
drift ID that is compatible with other downhole control
equipment. After packers and associated equipment are
in place, travel joints can be activated. Depending on the
application, travel joints can be activated by shear pins or
standard wireline tools.

Options
» Allow tubing torque below by engagement of clutch,
spline, or lug and slot
» Available in versions that can be locked in open,
mid-stroke, or closed positions
» Available in standard tubing sizes
» Can be trimmed with standard or sour service
seal packages
» Available in versions equipped with centralizer rings to
help prevent abnormal seal wear and to clean
accumulated solids from the inner mandrel during the
operation of the well

Swivel Travel Joints


Swivel travel joints help with spacing out between
packers or near the surface. They offer continuous 360°
rotation, while isolating the tubing from the annulus.

Straight Shear Pin Released Travel Joints


These travel joints can be sheared by tension or
compression. They can also be sheared during initial
completion operations or left in the pinned condition to be
sheared at a predetermined value later. These travel joints
can be pinned at any point in the stroke. The release valve
can be varied by the number of shear screws. Splined
designs are available when torque must be transmitted
through the travel joint.

The Halliburton long space-out travel joint was designed
to ease the space-out process required to install a
production tubing string in a subsea completion. The joint
is designed to stroke closed under a compressive load
after a production seal assembly is landed in a sealbore
packer. After the joint strokes, the production tubing can
be lowered until the subsea tubing hanger lands in the

FS2 Fluid Loss Isolation Barrier Valve

For efficient asset management, the Halliburton FS2 fluid


loss isolation barrier valve provides a reliable,
interventionless solution for fluid loss control during well
completion operations, thus eliminating potential
formation damage.

The FS2 valve isolates the formation below the


uppermost gravel pack packer before the upper
completion is installed. It can be used in frac pack, gravel
pack, and standalone screen applications. The valve
provides a reliable means of:
» Preventing fluid loss to formations after completing
initial gravel pack operations
» Isolating formations during uphole operations
throughout the life of the well
» Helping reduce costs on subsea or deep wells through
the use of interventionless technology
» Use as a barrier in a well suspension system

The closure device is a proven, high-performance ball


mechanism that provides a positive bi-directional seal in
brine and oil-based mud environments. The debris-
tolerant, non-translating ball design eliminates
unnecessary movement within the mechanism during
opening and closing operations, thus allowing operation in
debris-laden environments.

Optimum FS2 valve placement is normally below the


gravel pack or liner hanger assembly. Washpipe, located
on the bottom of the service tool, is extended through the
valve. A collet shifting tool is attached to the end of the
washpipe, which upon retrieval closes the valve. This
immediately isolates the formation and allows inflow or
positive pressure testing above the ball. Remote
actuation in the form of hydraulic pressure cycles is then
used to open the valve after upper completion installation.

LV4 Downhole Lubricator Valves

The LV4 lubricator valve is a high-performance, surface-


controlled, tubing-retrievable isolation barrier valve used
as part of a downhole lubricator system. The valve
provides a means of isolating well pressure in tubing
strings in which it has been deployed. Application of
hydraulic pressure to the tool via dual control lines will
operate the valve open or closed.

Traditionally, well intervention string lengths are limited to


the length of lubricator that can be stacked on top of the
production tree. The addition of an LV4 lubricator valve
extends these possibilities by placing the swab valve
within the tubing string.

Applications
Typical applications include deployment of long tubing-
conveyed perforating guns/straddle assemblies and
bottomhole pressure/temperature instruments.
» Forms part of a well suspension system in conjunction
with the tubing-retrievable safety valve (TRSV)
» Allows through-tubing deployment of long length
assemblies using intervention methods without killing
the well

Features and Benefits


» Cost savings is achieved by reducing the number of
well interventions required.
» Metal-to-metal body joints.
» Full bore ID maximizes production and allows
unrestricted access to the TRSV.
» Bi-directional sealing mechanism provides a fully tested
downhole barrier.
» Provides dropped object protection to TRSV during
intervention operations.
» Balanced piston design provides deep-set capability.
» Shrouded ball mechanism provides high debris

LS0 Liquid Spring Actuation Device

The LS0 liquid spring actuation device is a pressure cycle-


operated, self-contained tool used to initiate any
hydraulically activated downhole device. The tool allows
for setting of equipment after the application of a
predetermined number of pressure cycles. Tool operation
is performed by a ratchet mechanism that travels each
time pressure is applied. When the predetermined
number of pressure cycles are applied, communication
from the tubing to the control line is opened, allowing
pressure to reach the target device.

Applications
The liquid spring actuation device is used when it is
necessary to apply a number of tubing pressure tests
before activation of hydraulically operated downhole
tools. It is primarily used with a twin-flow absolute
isolation system (AIS) during SmartWell® or multizone
completions.

Features
» No atmospheric chamber or nitrogen-charged chamber
to limit time to actuation.
» Actuation system is unaffected by changes in pressure
in the lower annulus.
» Control fluid in the actuation mechanism is sealed and
therefore protected from contamination.

Benefits
» Total interventionless actuation of hydraulically
operated tools.
» Unlike similar actuation devices, the liquid spring is not
affected by changes in pressure in the lower annulus.
» Unlike nitrogen pre-charged systems, the liquid spring
mechanism eliminates well-specific setup and
enhances long-term suspension capability.
» Fluid used to communicate with the hydraulically
activated device is carried within the liquid spring
module. Therefore, it remains separate from the tubing
fluid at all times, which reduces the possibility of
control line blockages.

Twin-Flow AIS-LS
The twin-flow AIS-LS fluid control device is designed for
use in multizone applications and is particularly suited to
SmartWell® or multizone completions. It protects a zone
from fluid loss and helps enable separate production
between the upper and lower zones. The tool is run in the
closed position. It remains in the closed position until the
upper zone is completed and ready for production. The
tool works in conjunction with a liquid spring module that
responds to tubing pressure and only opens after 10 to 12
pressure cycles — with no time limit for actuation. This
provides the option of testing the tubing before the AIS-
LS device activates and opens.

External differential pressure across the tool has no effect


on the indexing mechanism. The device is remotely
opened by the application of tubing pressure cycles,
which help eliminate the need for well intervention.

Features and Benefits


» Suited for SmartWell system completions
» Provides zonal isolation and zone access
» Eliminates need for intervention to open a zone to flow
» Provides a secondary mechanical means to open

Advanced Features
This section describes the unique characteristics of
Halliburton safety valves, including the contoured flapper,
high-performance piston seals, integral fittings, and self-
equalizing feature.

Contoured Flapper
Halliburton took advantage of its broad experience with
ball valves to design a reliable contoured flapper valve by

HAL8675
adapting the spherical sealing surface used in ball valves
to the flapper shape. The contoured flapper safety valve
achieves true metal-to-metal (MTM) flapper sealing
integrity while providing improved valve OD/ID ratios. This
unique design offers a distinct advantage over typical
curved flappers because it passes API Class 1 and 2
verification testing without relying on a resilient seal.

The contoured flapper incorporates the proven


advantages of the spherical MTM seal of a ball-type
closure while maintaining the simple operation of a Contoured Flapper with Continuous
flapper valve. The mating spherical seal surfaces, lapped Spherical Sealing Surface
before assembly, provide increased bearing area as well
as improved flapper centralization during valve closure.
The increased spherical seal width also allows contouring
of the upper and lower flapper surfaces, resulting in
smaller ODs and/or enlarged IDs. The flapper's dual
hinges and closure mechanism provide stability and high
initial closure forces to enhance valve sealing reliability.
This unique technology was awarded the prestigious
Special Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation.

Self-Equalizing Feature
The Halliburton sideport self-equalizing feature uses a
spring-loaded carbide ball lapped to a mating spherical
seal located in the flapper seat of the safety valve.
Location of the equalizing device in the flapper seat
allows the flow tube, when activated, to radially displace
the ball outward, opening an equalizing path around the
flapper mechanism. A closely controlled channel between Flow

Sub
flow tube moves down to open the flapper and allows the
flow tube to downstop against its metal seat, thereby
isolating the equalizing mechanism from flow.

Erosion is a prime consideration with equalizing devices.


The sideport equalizing design addresses erosion by
forcing the equalizing flow through a closely controlled

HAL39926
flow path. This flow path allows the pressure drop to be
taken through the close concentric fit of the flapper seat
and mating housing instead of across the equalizing valve
seat itself. This close concentric fit and controlled flow
path provide an enlarged flow area and enhanced Flapper
equalizing times while simultaneously filtering the Sideport
Self-Equalizing Feature
equalizing flow, which prevents erosion and helps ensure
a long operating life.

The sideport equalizing device has also been tested


extensively in sandy environments. In addition to
successfully completing API Specification 14A verification
testing for Class 2 (sand service), the sideport underwent
endurance testing. This testing involved putting the
equalizing device in the equalizing position and flowing a
sand-laden fluid through the device for 7 days. Leak tests
performed afterward revealed no detrimental effects from
erosion, and the sealing capability of the equalizing device
was not affected. The equalizing device was also tested
successfully during extensive sand closure tests
commonly used for North Sea applications. The safety
valve was subjected to 120 slam closures in a sand-laden
fluid, a 20-fold increase over the normal API Specification
14A test. Other tests performed included repeated
equalizing operations and nitrogen leak verification tests
in a sandy environment.
Additionally, the equalizing feature was subjected to gas
slam closures followed by 50 equalizations equivalent in
volume to 1,500 ft of 7-in. tubing filled with gas at well
conditions (approximately 5,000-psi bottomhole
pressure). Unlike in a well scenario, the gas was vented
to the atmosphere during the test, which means the full
pressure differential was present for the duration of each
equalization (open system), applying maximum gas
velocity for the entire cycle.

Through use of a unique magnetic coupler, the actuation


piston and hydraulic operating system connected to the
DepthStar® tubing-retrievable safety valve (TRSV) is
isolated from the tubing wellbore. As shown in the
illustration to the right, the outer and inner magnetic
sleeves are separated by a well pressure-containing
housing, creating a chamber for the actuating piston that
is absolutely isolated from the wellbore. Use of the
magnetic coupler makes it possible to completely remove
all moving seals normally found in a subsurface safety
valve (SSSV) from the wellbore environment.

The DepthStar valve was subjected to tests specifically


related to the magnetic coupler to determine whether
there would be any effect on through-tubing operations.
For example, electric coils, perforator detonators, collar
locators, thermal multi-decay logging tools, memory
gauges, metal shavings, DPU® downhole power unit,
RMT Elite™ reservoir monitor tool, firing heads, hostile
gamma neutron tools, tubing-encapsulated conductor S N
N S
(TEC) line, and fiber-optic cables were run through the
DepthStar TRSV. All tools performed normally with no
affect from the magnetic coupler.

The primary benefit of the unique DepthStar TRSV design


is it provides the flexibility to place the SSSV at a depth
based on the requirements and goals of the completion
— not on the safety valve limitations. S

flowing through different test subs and examined the
resulting wear patterns. As a result, an optimum radius of
curvature was determined and implemented on the valve

Capillary Deliquification Safety System


In mature fields, liquid loading of gas wells is a common
problem. In the short term, this can lead to decreased
production, and if not managed correctly, can ultimately
reduce overall reservoir recovery. One option for
managing the problem is the use of surfactants as
foaming agents to artificially unload the well. The
preferred method would allow automatic and continuous
delivery of these surfactants. Surfactant or

Surface-Controlled Subsurface Safety Accessory Equipment


This section describes some of the Halliburton non-
welded safety valve landing nipples (SVLNs), hydraulic
control lines, protectors, and accessories.

Safety Valve Landing Nipples


Halliburton SVLNs are designed to accept surface-
controlled wireline-retrievable safety valves (WLRSVs). An
internal profile is machined in these nipples to allow a lock
mandrel/safety valve to be landed and locked in place.
Nipples are available with connections for one or two
external control lines and for standard or heavyweight
tubing with corresponding honed-bore sizes.

Punch-to-communicate SVLNs are designed to accept


surface-controlled WLRSVs. The punch-to-communicate
SVLN does not provide communication from the control
line to the nipple until the operator requires it. A
communication tool must be run via a standard slickline
toolstring to establish control-line communication. This
feature allows for full metal-to-metal isolation of the
hydraulic control-line system and full bore access to the
completion string without using slickline-installed
isolation sleeves to isolate and protect the hydraulic
control-line system.

Halliburton Otis® XXO and RRO sliding sleeve nipples


incorporate an inner sleeve that can be closed during
testing and well cleanup and subsequently opened to
allow control of the safety valve. The sleeve can be
opened by a wireline trip before the safety valve is run, or
a shifter mandrel can be run with the safety valve. The

TTRD Protection Sleeve


The through-tubing rotary drilling (TTRD) protection
sleeve is designed to protect downhole sealbores from
damage as the drillpipe rotates within the tubing during a
TTRD operation.

Typically, these sealbores would be located within


downhole tubing-mounted safety valves, safety valve
nipples, polished bore receptacles, or Christmas trees.

The TTRD sleeve is run on a dedicated running tool that is


an integral part of the drillstring. The TTRD sleeve is
locked and verified in place as the drillstring is run through
the safety valve and is subsequently picked back up again
upon retrieval of the drillstring.

Applications
While developed specifically for use on TTRD operations,
the TTRD sleeve can be used in any application where the
existing well equipment and sealbores need to be
protected, such as:
» TTRD operations
» Electric and slickline operations
» Snubbing and coiled tubing operations

Features and Benefits


» Efficient deployment: Sleeve deployed and retrieved on
the drillstring — saving multiple runs. It can also be
deployed on wireline.
» Slimline design: Large ID maximizes the bypass flow
area between the sleeve and drillpipe OD. This aids
deployment, and the subsequent flow of cuttings, and
lowers the equivalent circulating density.
» Positive location: Lock mechanism helps ensure the
sleeve is firmly located into the correct profile during
drilling operations.
» Versatility: Latch mechanism can be manufactured to fit
any lock profile with a no-go shoulder.
» Debris tolerant: No “dead spaces” where debris can
become lodged and prevent proper operation.

Storm Choke® Safety Valves


Storm Choke® safety valves are subsurface-controlled
valves that are actuated by changing well conditions. They
are available in velocity-type and tubing pressure-type
(ambient) models.

Velocity-Type Safety Valves


Storm Choke J Safety Valves
Storm Choke J safety valves are velocity-type, wireline-
retrievable valves that are normally opened, direct-
controlled valves. These valves operate on a spring-
loaded, flow bean, pressure-differential principle and are
designed for high-volume wells. A through-conduit design
lessens turbulence and the possibility of sanding-up after
closing. A detent mechanism provides a positive snap
action closure at the predetermined disaster rate of the
valve. A metal-to-metal (MTM) ball and seat assembly is
used for the primary closure mechanism seal.

When the valve is operating, a spring holds it off its seat


until the well flow reaches a predetermined rate. When
the pressure differential across the bean exceeds the
spring force, as a result of a rupture in a flowline or the
surface equipment, the valve is designed to close and
shut the well. To reopen, the valve pressure must be fully
equalized either by applying pressure in the tubing from
the surface or by running a prong to allow equalization
from below. When pressure is equalized, the spring will
open the valve automatically.

Applications
» High-rate wells
» Ideal for deep-set applications
» Wells with no provisions for surface-controlled valves

Features
» Detent mechanism
» MTM ball and seat assembly
» Through-conduit design

Tubing-Pressure (Ambient) Safety Valves


Storm Choke® H Safety Valves
Storm Choke® H safety valves are ambient-type, wireline-
retrievable valves that are normally closed and pre-
charged with a set dome pressure. When the well flowing
pressure drops below the predetermined dome-pressure
charge, as a result of a rupture in the flowline or surface
equipment, the dome pressure and valve spring are
designed to close the valve, shutting in the well.

The H valve is used in wells producing large volumes of


abrasive fluids. Its large bore is not restricted by a flow
bean. The valve is designed to resist pressure surges. A
metal-to-metal (MTM) ball and seat is used as the primary
closure mechanism.

The H valve is ideal for protecting wells with declining


bottomhole pressure because this valve is tubing-
pressure sensitive instead of velocity sensitive. To
reopen, the valve pressure must be fully equalized either
by applying pressure in the tubing from the surface or by
running a prong to allow equalization from below. The
valve will reopen when the tubing pressure acting on the
internal piston area overcomes the dome charge.

Applications
» Wells producing large volumes of abrasive fluids
» Wells with declining bottomhole pressure
» Wells with no provisions for surface-controlled valves

Features
» Large bore not restricted by a flow bean
» MTM ball and seat
» Designed to resist pressure surges

Storm Choke® K Safety Valves


Storm Choke® K safety valves are ambient-type, wireline-
retrievable valves with the largest flow area of all direct-
controlled safety valves on the market. They are ideally
suited for high-volume, low-pressure wells. These
valves are normally closed and pre-charged with a set
dome pressure.

When the well flowing pressure drops below the


predetermined dome-pressure charge because of a
rupture in flowline or surface equipment, the dome
pressure and main valve spring close the valve, shutting in
the well below the earth’s surface. This valve contains a
detent mechanism to provide a positive snap-action
closure at the predetermined disaster rate of the valve. Its
bore is not restricted by a flow bean. The valve is
designed to resist pressure surges. A metal-to-metal
poppet valve and seat comprise the valve’s primary
closure mechanism.
The K valve is ideal for protecting wells with declining
bottomhole pressure. This valve closes in situations
where a pressure decline would not activate a valve with
a flow bean. To reopen the valve, the operator must fully
equalize pressure either by applying pressure in the
tubing from the surface or by an equalizing prong. The
valve will reopen when the tubing pressure acting on the
internal piston area overcomes the dome charge.

Applications
» Wells with declining bottomhole pressure
» High-volume, low-pressure wells
» Wells with no provisions for surface-controlled valves

Features

Injection Safety Valves

WI Retrievable Injection Valve


The WI retrievable injection valve is a high-performance,
high-flow rate injection valve.
High throughput is achieved by a unique valve
configuration that minimizes turbulent and potentially
erosive flow. Operation is not dependent on a specific
flow rate, pressure, or setting depth, thus negating the
need for adjustment over time.
The valve incorporates a metal-to-metal valve and seat
energized by the combination of an integral spring and
well pressure acting from below.
The WI injection valve can be deployed on a wireline lock
or through-tubing pack-off device, providing flexibility not
available with alternative injection valve systems.
As a result of the simple design with fewer parts, redress
and repair costs are considerably lower than those for
other injection valve systems.

Applications
The WI injection valve is primarily used in water injection
applications as an alternative to conventional tubing or
wireline-set safety valves. The valve is also commonly
used as a retrofit solution in water injectors in which a
tubing to annulus leak has occurred. The valve can be
deployed below the leak point to eliminate uncontrolled
annulus pressure increases when the injection stops.

Features
» Compatible with all known lock systems
» Dedicated designs to suit Halliburton EB0 intervention

» Enhanced internal flow profile
» Simple design and construction
» Flow-loop testing performed to establish pressure drop

injection stops or flow reverses. MC injection valves are
spring-loaded, wireline-retrievable valves with large bores. Top Sub
The MC injection valves also feature sealing areas that are
out of the direct flow path.

These valves are designed to be held open by injection


pressure for fluid passage. If injection flow becomes
static or reverses for any reason, the spring and/or
reverse flow causes the valves to close. These valves are
designed to remain closed until pressure differential
across the valves is equalized and injection is resumed. Orifice

Annular Safety Systems


AV Annulus Safety Valve
The AV annulus safety valve is a fully retrievable high-
performance annulus safety system packer with integral
annulus safety valve. The system provides annular bypass
through a hydraulically operated poppet valve. The AV
system is run in a single trip in conjunction with a setting
sub that can be shifted for hydraulic tubing-set or can be
alternatively control-line set from surface.

Applications
The AV system is used for controlling annulus fluids in gas
lift applications, monitoring of annulus pressures in critical
situations, and in one- or two-trip annulus safety system
completions. The completion can be run to depth and set
with the surface tubing hanger flanged up.

It can also be used in completions in which spacing out


against a subsurface tubing hanger is required (i.e., no
elastomeric expansion joint necessary).
The tailpipe can be left in either tension or compression.
The system can be used where high tensile loads and
pressure differentials exist with the completion anchored
in unsupported or poor condition casing.

Features
» Interlock system prevents preset

Annular Vent Valve


The Halliburton gas vent valve is designed to be threaded
onto a retrievable, hydraulic-set production packer. The
vent valve is non-equalizing, hydraulically operated, and
allows for gas bypass around the packer. The valve is
opened by applying hydraulic control pressure and closes
when the pressure is released. This particular vent valve
allows pressure testing of the packer without affecting
the functionality of the valve. Also, pressure from below
the valve is not able to open the valve.
The gas vent valve is opened by hydraulic control-line
pressure. The power spring acts against the piston to
move the valve to the closed position when control-line
pressure is released. The valve is designed with a metal-
to-metal seal to contain pressure.

FBN® Full Bore Landing Nipple and Lock Mandrel System


The FBN® full bore landing nipple and lock mandrel
system allows an indefinite number of identical landing
nipples to be installed in a tubing string. The FBN lock
mandrel can be selectively set in any one of its associated
landing nipples and when locked in place will withstand a
differential pressure of up to 10,000 psi (690 bar) from Fishing Neck
either direction.

The lock mandrel’s expanding seal element and the


landing nipple’s full-opening bore allow the lock to be run
through any number of profiles before reaching the
intended depth without the tendency to “hang up” in the
higher profiles. This feature is particularly significant for
large tubing and highly deviated well applications in which
conventional selective locks will preset in higher profiles Full Bore Nipple
because of the interference-fit packing.

No-Go Locks and Nipples


Otis® RPT® No-Go Landing Nipple
and Lock Mandrel Systems
The Halliburton Otis® RPT® no-go landing nipple system
provides a means of running a series of positive location
landing nipples in a tubing string with minimum Fishing Neck
restriction. Otis RPT no-go landing nipples are designed
to accept Otis RPT and RPTS lock mandrels.

The Otis RPT and RPTS no-go lock mandrels locate on top
of the nipple’s polished bore; therefore, there are no
secondary restrictions normally associated with bottom Otis® RPT®
no-go profiles. This feature makes Otis RPT systems well Landing Nipple
suited for high-pressure, high-volume large bore
completions. Otis RPT and RPTS lock mandrels in any
given size range are designed to use the same running

Some of the original RPT series lock mandrels were
designed with large no-go profiles that were not
compatible with the 1/16-in. sealbore ID reductions
between nipples that are currently available. For these No-Go
sizes, the RPTS series of locks was developed. All RPTS
lock mandrels incorporate no-go profiles that allow a
1/16-in. sealbore stagger in the completion design. The
reduction in no-go OD on the RPTS lock mandrel does not High-Pressure

Wellhead Plugs and Backpressure Valves

SRP Wellhead Plugs


The Halliburton SRP plug system is designed primarily for
use in horizontal subsea trees. Its compact size allows
the tree to be shorter, which allows for smaller, less
costly wellhead equipment. The top no-go design
provides a positive locating means to simplify running
procedures and eliminate misruns. Because the SRP plug
is a dedicated wellhead plug, it can be used for any tree or
tubing hanger plugging application.

SRP Wellhead Backpressure Valves


SRP wellhead backpressure valves provide pump-in
well-kill capability, while providing complete well control.
The valve features the same compact design and multiple

prong is also available to allow testing of the hanger and
tree from above. The SRP backpressure valve
incorporates two equalizing methods and cannot be
released before full equalization of pressure. Both the SRP SRP Wellhead
SRP wellhead backpressure valve and wellhead plug use Wellhead Plug Backpressure Valve

SSP Wellhead Plugs


Halliburton SSP wellhead plugs feature a primary metal-
to-metal seal and a composite packing stack. These plugs
are typically rated for 10,000-psi (15,000-psi test)
pressures from above and below. The wellhead plug

Velocity String Hangers


Many mature gas wells experience decreased production
over time. This can lead to liquid loading that can
eventually cause the well to cease production.
Contributing factors typically include declining reservoir
pressures that reduce gas velocity and increase water
production. If gas velocity is not sufficiently high to keep
water entrained in the produced gas, the water will
accumulate at the bottom of the well and the well might
cease production.

An effective method to continue or restart production is


by providing a smaller ID production string. The smaller ID
increases the production velocity, thus preventing the
well from loading with liquid. To accomplish this, a means
of suspending this smaller “velocity” string must be
provided. Various types of velocity string hangers (VSHs)
have been used. However, they can prevent the use of
the existing safety valve system, without incorporating a
new safety valve system to protect the well.

Halliburton VSHs are installed in an existing tubing


retrievable safety valve (TRSV) or safety valve landing
nipple (SVLN) to support the velocity string, while using
the existing hydraulic control system to operate a new
subsurface safety valve (SSSV). The new safety valve can
be a wireline-type safety valve or in some cases a tubing-
retrievable type. The VSH uses the nipple profile in the
existing TRSV or SVLN to suspend the full weight of the
velocity string. Additionally, unique seals on the VSH
packoff in the TRSV or SVLN sealbores preserve the
integrity of the existing safety valve hydraulic system.

Autofill Sub
The autofill sub is run above the Mirage® or Anvil® plug
when automatic filling of the tubing is required. The
unique fill sub bladder design allows debris-laden annulus
fluids to enter the tubing, while providing a reliable seal
from the tubing side.

The tubing can be tested any number of times, provided


the shear pressure of the lockout piston is not exceeded.
Once the lockout pins shear, as a result of tubing
pressure, the piston drives the ports in the isolation
sleeve past the o-rings, locking the fill sub out of service.
A simple interference fit retains the fill sub in the locked-
out condition.

Subsurface Service Tools

Slickline Service Tools


Otis® designed and manufactured slickline service tools
are a benchmark for the industry and are a requirement
for all toolboxes worldwide. Known for dependable Wireline Socket
performance and low maintenance costs, these service
tools can help reduce total operating costs. As the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM), Halliburton continues to

HAL8501
provide high-quality slickline service tools.

Otis®
Slickline Toolstring Stem Rope Socket

Wireline Toolstring
A wireline toolstring is attached to the wireline to furnish
the mechanical force necessary for setting, pulling, or
servicing subsurface equipment under pressure without
killing the well. Toolstrings are available in various ODs
and component lengths that are designed to be
compatible with various tubing sizes.

Otis® Rope Sockets


Otis rope sockets provide a means for connecting the
wireline to the toolstring. The wireline is tied around a
disk or dart in the socket to achieve a firm connection.

Otis Stems
Otis stems are used as weight to overcome stuffing-box
packing friction and well pressure on the cross-sectional
area of the wireline. The stem can also transmit force Jars
either upward or downward to set or retrieve subsurface
controls. Stem size and weight is determined by the
impact force required and the size of the subsurface HAL8502
control to be run or pulled. For normal conditions, 5 ft of
1 1/2-in. OD stem is made up by combining 2-, 3-, or 5-ft

Otis® Accelerators
Otis® accelerators are used with and just above hydraulic
jars for shallow, weighty jarring. Accelerators help
maintain constant pull as the hydraulic jars begin to open.
The accelerator inhibits pulling the wireline out of the
wireline socket at these shallow depths.

Otis Knuckle Joints


Otis knuckle joints have a special ball and socket design,
allowing angular movement between the jars and the
running or pulling tool to help align them with the tubing.
Knuckle joints are important if tubing is corkscrewed and
when wireline work is performed in a directional hole. In
these conditions, joints are used at every connection in

HAL8504
HAL8503
the toolstring. When the stem and jars will not align or
move freely, tool operation might be impossible; however,
the knuckle joint inhibits wireline tools from hanging up.
Otis® Otis®
Knuckle Joint Blind Box
Otis Jars
Otis jars are available in mechanical and hydraulic types.
With a set of mechanical jars below the stem, the weight
of the jars and stem can be used to jar up or down by
pulling and releasing the wireline. A Halliburton wireline
specialist can easily feel the jars and manipulate the
wireline. Hydraulic jars are designed to provide jarring
action in wells in which it is difficult to obtain good jarring
action with mechanical jars. Hydraulic jars that only allow
an upward impact are usually run just above the regular
mechanical jars. They require careful maintenance for
maximum use in the toolstring. Jar operation is monitored
by a weight indicator.

Otis B Blind Box


An Otis B blind box serves as the impact point when
downward jarring operations are required.

Slickline Detent Jars


The Halliburton detent jar is a mechanically operated jar
run on slickline or wireline to deliver an impact through
the toolstring when the release setting is overcome by
tension. This jar has adjustable stroke and release
settings that are predetermined on the surface before
running the jar.

The detent jar can be run with an accelerator, weight bar,


and link-type or spang jars to deliver an optimal impact
load for releasing a stuck object or operating a downhole
tool. The detent jar is resettable downhole by slacking
weight at the jar to a collapsed mode. The jar can be
tripped and reset rapidly multiple times downhole.

There are no seals in the detent jar; therefore, bottomhole


temperature or pressure has minimal effect on the
jar operation.

Sometimes in deep and deviated wells, the line tension


on the weight indicator at the surface is not the same line
tension at the rope socket. Modeling the slickline
operation using Cerberus™ software provides calculated
rope socket line tensions.

Cerberus™ is a trademark of National Oilwell Varco CTES.

Otis® Gauge Cutter and Swaging Tools
It is important to run a gauge cutter before running
subsurface controls to (1) determine if the flow control
will pass freely through the tubing and (2) locate the top
of the landing nipple or any restriction in the tubing. The
gauge cutter knife (larger than the control OD) is designed
to cut away paraffin, scale, and other debris in the tubing.
Mashed spots in the tubing and large obstructions can be
removed using the swaging tool. These tools are available
in sizes for all tubing IDs.

Otis Impression Tool


The Otis impression tool is a lead-filled cylinder with a pin
through the leaded section to secure it to the tool body. It

Otis Go-Devil
An Otis go-devil is a slotted stem with a fishing neck. If
the tool becomes stuck, the go-devil can be attached to
the slickline using a small strip of metal pinned in the slot
to prevent the wireline from coming out. The go-devil is
dropped from surface and slides down the wire until it
hits a restriction or the top of the rope socket. The go-
devil will cut the slickline at that point, allowing the
slickline to be retrieved. Its use is usually limited to fishing
operations in which the wireline socket is inaccessible,
and the line must be cut. Otis go-devils designed to cut
the wireline at the wireline socket are also available.

Test Tools
Otis® Selective Test Tools
Otis® selective test tools are used to test tubing, locate
leaks, or set hydraulic-set packers. Designed to hold
pressure from above, selective test tools can be set in
compatible Otis X®, XN®, R®, or RN® landing nipples in the
tubing string. With the keys retracted, the tool is run to a
point below the desired nipple. Pulling up through the
nipple releases the locking keys to set the tool with
downward motion. Pressure from above can then
be applied.

Benefits
» Designed for high working pressure
» Located in the lowest nipples first, these tools are then
moved up the tubing and set in sequential nipples until
a leak is not detected, thus reducing wireline trips

Otis Non-Selective Test Tools


Otis non-selective test tools are designed to test the
tubing string, set hydraulic packers, and protect lower
zones when circulating through a Sliding Side-Door®
circulating device or producing a zone above the
lowermost zone. Designed to hold pressure from above
only using of a drop valve equalizing assembly, the non-
selective test tools land in no-go landing nipples with
HAL8524

compatible packing bores. When landed in the landing


nipple, pressure from above is sealed by the drop, seal
ring, and V-packing. To retrieve by wireline, the drop is
moved off-seat with a pulling tool. This equalizes the Otis® Non-Selective
pressure across the test tool, thus allowing retrieval. Test Tool

Benefits

Positioning Tools
Otis® BO Positioning (Shifting) Tool
Otis® BO positioning tools are used to move the inner
sleeve to its open or closed position in Sliding Side-Door®
circulating devices.

Note: The Otis BO positioning tool should not be used


for shifting Otis XXO or RRO surface-controlled safety
valve nipples. For these nipples, use the Otis XL or RL
shifting tool.

Otis BO standard positioning tools engage the recess in


the upper (or lower) end of the inner sleeve to permit the
sleeve to be shifted by a jarring action. It is designed to
release itself only after the sleeve reaches its fully open or
closed position. This automatic-releasing feature
incorporates a releasing profile on the key itself that acts
to compress the key spring and release the positioning
tool. A shear pin is an added feature designed to release
the tool in the event well conditions make it impossible to
shift the sleeve.

A set of positive keys is available for this tool to permit


upward movement of the inner sleeve of one among
several Sliding Side-Door circulating devices in one
wellbore. These keys do not have a releasing profile. The
positioning tool pin must be sheared to release.

Note: The Otis BO positioning tool will not pass through


position Number 1 of Otis S landing nipples.

Otis BO selective positioning tools are designed to


selectively position Sliding Side-Door inner sleeves only to
the down position. These tools are designed so one
sleeve can be shifted to the down position at any level in
the tubing string without shifting any other sleeve.

Hydraulic RED Remotely Operated Equalizing Device

The Hydraulic RED valve is a retrievable well barrier that is


deployed in the closed position and subsequently opened
by remote command. It is run below a lock or bridge plug
and is capable of containing pressures of up to 10,000 psi
in either direction until opened. It is suitable for use in
virtually any type of well operation in which a temporary
downhole barrier is required.

By remotely opening the Hydraulic RED valve, an


intervention is eliminated from the operation, reducing rig
time and all the associated risks.

Applications
The Hydraulic RED valve can be used in a wide range of
differing applications.
» Shallow-set for tree testing and change out
» Deep-set for packer setting and tubing testing
» Zonal isolation
» Subsea plugging operations in which intervention costs
are high
» Extended reach or horizontal wells where retrieval of
the carrying device might prove problematic
» Pressure testing of a well before fracturing or
stimulation operations are performed
» Where the tubing test pressure should not be
exceeded to open the equalizing device
» Plug and abandonment operations when the well is
temporarily (indefinitely) shut-in

Features and Benefits


» Remote single-shot activation: Run closed, then
opened at any time by applying a predetermined
pressure over a predetermined time, providing
operational flexibility and saving time. Once opened,
the device cannot be re-closed.
» Hydraulic mechanism: Can be left downhole virtually
indefinitely before being opened. Ideal for operations in
which the well is abandoned for extended periods.
» Operates via pressure signals: Ideally suited for long-
reach and highly deviated wells where access or
retrieval is difficult.
» Repeated tests to maximum pressure: Can be tested

the opening pressure/time combination from occurring.

To define the operating window, an overview of the well


conditions (pressure differential across the device and
well temperature) is required. This is done before the
device leaves the workshop. Therefore, no pre-installation
setup is required at the wellsite.

BR0 Modular Straddle System


The BR0 modular straddle system allows the deployment
of long straddles in sections where running in one trip is
not possible because of available lubricator height
restrictions.

The modular straddle system consists of the BR0


sealbore packer and the RS2 tubing anchor seal assembly.
The first run places a lower BR0 packer with integral seal
receptacle immediately below the section to be isolated. Upper BR0 Packer
An RS2 anchor latch, tubing, and upper RS2 seal C/W Pup Joint and
receptacle (RS2 intermediate assembly) is then run and RS2 Anchor Latch
latched into the lower BR0 packer’s seal receptacle. The
required number of RS2 intermediate assemblies are
then run to make up the desired straddle length. The final
run comprises an RS2 anchor latch, pup joint, and upper
BR0 packer.

A total of four RS2 intermediate assemblies can be


installed between BR0 packers. If longer straddle lengths
are required, intermediate BR0 packers are installed to
allow stackup of additional RS2 intermediate assemblies.

Applications
The BR0 modular straddle system can be deployed in any
well where communication between the tubing and
annulus must be isolated. It is ideally suited for
applications in which long straddles must be run but
available lubricator lengths will not allow one-trip
installation.
RS2 Intermediate
The straddle sections can be run and retrieved using
Assembly
conventional well intervention methods.

The BR0 packers use Halliburton RO and PK service


tools, while the RS2 intermediate assemblies use the
industry-standard GS pulling tool.

can be continued without pulling the tubing. Anchors are Slip-T ype Holddown
run and set by wireline methods under pressure without
killing the well. Pressure ratings for all Otis pack-off
anchors are dependent on packing elements and the
condition of the tubing string.
The G pack-off anchor is particularly suited for installations
in which high production volume is desired. The use of an
internal running and pulling neck permits a large ID. A
large bore allows the use of properly sized wireline tools
(bottomhole pressure bombs, etc.). The anchor uses an Centralizers

upset or non-upset tubing. For streamlined tubing without
collar recess, a slip-type lower stop is available. The upper
pack-off section is usually anchored with a slip-type
holddown. The G pack-off assembly is designed to seal
against the tubing wall and is held in its set position by a
