Tieback Seal Receptacle

LTYE
Tieback Seal Receptacle

The Tieback Seal Receptacle (LTYE) has two primary functions. It

provides the necessary extension required to house and protect the
running tools while running the liner in the hole. It also provides a
means of tying back the liner if required. The 5.000” LTYE has an ID of
5.250” and with both a packer setting tool and running tool, requires at
least a 10 foot model to be run. It is also available in a 20 foot length.
The OD of the LTYE is 5.750” allowing the tieback receptacle to fit
comfortably inside 7.000” 32# casing. The internal surface of the LTYE
is a polished bore, honed to a high quality finish to provide an excellent
seal if a tieback is used.

Features/Benefits: -

Lead in bevel designed for easy entry.

Close tolerance finish and concentricity for excellent sealing

capability.

Designed for optimum strength and annular clearance.

Provides an effective 10 foot sealing length for tieback capabilities

Liner Running Sub

LRPF
Retrievable Packoff Bushing Seating Sub

The LRPF packoff bushing seating sub provides a means to connect the
liner system to the running tools during liner installation. Cardium’s
component based system provides tremendous versatility in design,
allowing the selection of appropriate components to suit the liner
purpose. The LRPF packoff bushing seating sub provides a running
thread for the Cardium LTNG running tool and a profile for the LRKC
retrievable packoff bushing. When used with the LRKC retrievable
packoff bushing, the LRPF provides a sealing surface to the packoff
bushing allowing hydraulic operations and cementing to occur in the
liner below. The use of a retrievable bushing makes second trip drillouts
a thing of the past.

This version of the LRPF is run as a setting sleeve, between the tieback
receptacle and the liner hanger. The bottom end of the LRPF in the
design provides not only a connection to the liner hanger, but also the
cone for the slips to ride up on. This design enables the system to be
easily adapted to the internal diameter of the host casing.

Features/Benefits: -

Provides a connection to the LTNG running tool.

LRKC profile allows the use of a retrievable packoff bushing

removing the need for a second trip to drillout the packoff.

Provides a cone for the compact liner hanger to ride up on.

Provides an effective 10 foot sealing length for tieback capabilities

Combination Liner Hanger - Packer

LCNL
Compact Mechanical Liner Hanger

The LCNL compact liner hanger provides a versatile, cost effective well
completion solution. The addition of an apporopriate LRPF top sub with
integral cone allows for the hanger to be fully adjustable depending on
the internal diameter of the host casing. The left hand mechanical set is
ideal for wells that are pressure sensitive and would not respond well to
pressure shocks associated with a hydraulic shear. A lack of hydraulic
ports also minimises the use of elastomers in the liner, minimising
potential leak paths.

Features/Benefits: -

Mechanical design reduces potential leak paths in the liner

Separate cone profile allows for full versatility in host casing internal
diameters

Mechanical setting method ideal for pressure sensitive formations

Landing Collar
LDLC
Drillable Latch Landing Collar

The Cardium LDLC Drillable Latch Landing Collar provides a latch in

profile for the liner wiper plug to land in after the cement job is
complete.

The LDLC provides a latch in sealing profile for the wiper plug, ensuring
a good, visible plug bump. It also an anti-rotation profile that matches
the plug, to ensure trouble free drill out. The internals of the LDLC are
aluminium and are kept to a minimum to enable fast drill out.

Features/Benefits: -

Provides a landing location for the liner wiper plug.

Minimal material in the landing collar allows for fast drill out

Latch in profile ensures a visible plug bump and prevents rotation of

the liner wiper plug during drillout.

Float Shoe
LDFL
Dual Valve Spaded Float Shoe

The Cardium LDFL Dual Valve Spaded Float Shoe guides the liner to
bottom and houses the valves necessary for cement displacement. Using
Weatherford’s Sure Seal 3 valves, the LDFL is rated to API RP10F
Category 3C, the highest rating float equipment can attain.

The valves enable pumped cement to pass through the float equipment
and then seal shut, ensuring that there is no back flow into the liner.
They also serve the secondary purpose of keeping well debris from
entering the liner, risking plugging the liner hanger hydraulic system.

Sidejets and directional downjets provide excellent circulation on

bottom, improving the cleanout from the bottom hole and thus providing
a better cement job. The spaded nose prevents rotation when on
bottom, enabling emergency liner tool release in the event of hanger
difficulties.

Features/Benefits: -

Sure Seal 3 valves rated to API Category 3C, the highest possible
rating for float equipment.

Excellent well cleaning capability through direction jets.

Spaded nose for anti-rotational requirements.

Liner Wiper Plug

LLWP
Liner Wiper Plug

The LLWP Cardium Liner Wiper Plug wipes the liner ID while creating a
barrier between the cement and the displacement fluid. When sealed
and locked into the landing collar it provides an additional backpressure
safety check, preventing cement from re-entering the liner.

The plug system is a non-rotating, PDC drillable design made of

Aluminium. This minimises the time required to drill out the plug in the
event of further drilling activity. The elastomeric material for the wiper
fins is selected for well conditions.

Features/Benefits: -

Aluminium body and anti-rotation profiles enable fast PDC drillability.

Prevents cement from re-entering the liner.

Wipes liner clean of cement and prevents cement slurry and

displacement fluid from contaminating each other.

Drill Pipe Dart

LDWP
Liner Wiper Plug

The LDWP provides the primary method of cleaning the drill pipe
following cementing the liner. The LDWP dart latches into the LLWP
Liner Wiper Plug, causing an increase in applied pump pressure to shear
and release the LLWP. The latching mechanism on the dart is designed
with an anti-rotation thread to prevent spinning during subsequent drill
out.

Like the LLWP, the LDWP is made from Aluminium and is fully PDC
drillable. The elastomeric material can be selected for well conditions.
Fin sizes are available to handle a variety of drill pipe sizes and weights
including tapered drill pipe strings.

Features/Benefits: -

Aluminium body and anti-rotation profiles enable fast PDC drillability.

Fins can be selected for a variety of well conditions and drill pipe
sizes.

Combined with the LHLC and LLWP, is differentially rated to

10,000psi when properly latched after cement job.

Liner Running Tool

LTNG
Mechanical Release Liner Running Tool

The LTNG running tool maintains a simple design that enables the
release of the running tools from the liner with 9 rotations to the right.

The LTNG running tool is threaded up to the LTTG running sub in the
liner assembly and provides the primary link between the running tools
and the liner. At depth the LTNG remains attached to the liner until the
hanger is set and is taking weight. When it has been established that
the liner is hung, the tool is rotated to the right to enable it to release
from the liner. In the unlikely event of the hanger not setting, the liner
can be set on bottom with the LDFL spaded nose float shoe providing
the necessary torsional resistance to the liner to allow the running tool
to be released.

Features/Benefits: -

Simple mechanical design prevents the tool from releasing accidently

due to applied pressure or forces.

Tool can be released in the event of a hanger failure through the

use of a spaded nose float shoe (standard on the Cardium system).

Rugged, field-proven design used extensively throughout the world.

Retrievable Packoff
LRKC
Retrievable Packoff

The LRKC retrievable packoff is a key component in ensuring a one trip

cemented liner job. The LRKC keyed into a profile on the LTTG running
sub, sealing the liner bore from the running tools. It provides a seal
between the running tools and the liner full cementation of the annulus.
The dogs keep the LRKC in place until the cement job has completed
and the packer set. When pulling the tools out of the liner, the pick up
sub on the slick joint allows the dogs to move inwards and release the
LRKC. By using an LRKC there is no need to undertake a second trip to
drill out any packoffs.

Features/Benefits: -

Enables full cementing of the liner annulus.

Remains firmly in place until the cement job is complete and the
liner top packer is set.

Enables the liner job to be undertaken in one trip removing costly

drill out trips.
