Integrated liner hanger system combines capabilities of conventional, expandable liner hangers

Weatherford has developed the SwageHammer integrated liner hanger system to reduce leak potential and improve reliability in high-angle, high-pressure and high-temperature wells in deepwater. The company introduced the liner hanger system at the 2016 IADC/SPE Drilling Conference in Fort Worth, Texas. In this video from the conference on 3 March, Sean Yakeley, Product Champion-Well Construction Products for Weatherford, explains how the SwageHammer combines the features of conventional and expandable liner-hangers to reduce uncertainty during liner installation.
