VersaFlex ® Hanger Selection Overview
• Two to five elastomers supplied to the hanger
depending on size and design requirements,
– Carries hang load capacities in excess of most
liner thread tensile ratings
• Helps save millions of dollars in remediation
avoidance, hundreds of thousands in liner overlap
reduction, and tens of thousands in installation
costs with fewer steps and trips
• Hanger body’s expansion process creates gas-tight
seal between hanger and parent casing. This union
generates a 360-degree seal with bi-directional
anchoring.
• High-torque rating for reaming down and drill-in
with liner applications
• Reciprocation and rotation allows mud and cement
to stay mobile for better pressure management and
high-integrity cementing without bridging problems.
