slotted liner i-wheel®
Creates low contact areas that keep the tubing or casing joint off the low side of the well
Applications
- Assists the deployment of slotted liner strings in deviated or horizontal well bores
- Can also be utilized for the deployment of well screens
Features and Benefits
- Provides lift and reduces contact with the well bore
- Creates standoff which drastically reduces the risk of sticking
- Free spinning around the circumference of the slotted liner, which facilitates self orientation to assist deployment
Tool Description
The Weatherford slotted liner I-Wheel is an innovative friction reduction device designed to efficiently and reliably convey tubing or casing strings into highly deviated or extended lateral horizontal well bores.
The I-Wheel creates low contact areas that keep the tubing or casing joint off the low side of the well, passing over problem areas that can cause sticking. The slotted liner I-Wheel is connected to the tubing string by a mandrel that matches the physical and mechanical properties of the tubing. When placed between each joint of tubing, it acts as a coupling, allowing the I-Wheel to rotate freely and self orient.
