A Simple, Yet Reliable System for Increased Diameter Efficiency: The HydraSkin solid expandable system is a hydraulic bottom-up expansion system that uses the expandable casing as a pressure chamber to pump the cone up the expandable liner.

Planned Operations: The HydraSkin system enables increased reservoir hole size and, therefore, upsizing of the completion string. Also, the system can reduce the size of the top-hole cased sections of a well, reducing cost while maintaining the required reservoir geometry.

Contingency Operations: The HydraSkin system allows completion of the well as planned without resorting to downsizing the completion.

Applications:

• Cased-hole repair
• Open-hole liner extensions
• Open-hole cladding of trouble zones
• Sidetrack operations

The HydraSkin system can be configured for either cased- or open-hole applications.
