MetalSkin Cased-Hole ®

Liner System

Weatherford’s MetalSkin cased-hole liner (MCL) is a solid-tubular expandable system


that addresses the most common and challenging casing-remediation applications. The
MetalSkin system is a robust liner (or clad) that seals and isolates damaged or perforated
casing, providing permanent isolation with minimal ID loss. The system bridges the gap in
casing repair between cement squeezing and scab liners, significantly reducing
operational costs.

The MCL system is customized to the operator’s isolation requirements and typically
consists of an integral anchor joint, multiple standard joints that are dependent on the
length required, an isolation joint, and a top joint. The integral anchor joint integrates
anchor and seal sections composed of tungsten-carbide inserts and elastomeric elements,
respectively. After expansion, the inserts provide superb anchoring capabilities to the parent
casing inside diameter (ID), and the elastomer elements provide annular isolation after
expansion. Each element is securely bonded to the body, resulting in superior swabbing
resistance during running-in-the-hole and circulation.

The MCL is run on a drillpipe work string to the desired setting depth and then lowered
several feet below the installation setting depth. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the work
string to actuate the MetalSkin expansion setting tool. This movement drives the expansion
cone upward, releases the moving components from the lower casing thread, and expands
the lowest portion of the liner by affixing the liner’s carbide and elastomer anchors to the
parent casing ID.

After the integral anchor joint is anchored, expansion continues by bleeding off the
hydraulic pressure and mechanically pulling the expansion cone upward. The liner will
continue to be expanded throughout its full length where the work string and MetalSkin
expansion system are pulled from the well. Alternatively, in cases where the work string
tensile strength or rig capacity is limited, the liner expansion can continue by repeated
actuation of the expansion tool. With the installation complete and no drillout required,
well production or continued completions may resume immediately.
