Splined Expansion Joint<br />

Model B<br />
<strong>Weatherford</strong>’s splined expansion joint, model B, compensates for<br />
tubing movement resulting from temperature and pressure variations<br />
during production, shut-in, and stimulation in single- and multiple-string<br />
completions. The spline enables the tubing to transmit torque throughout<br />
the stroke length of the tool. A premium seal system maintains the pressure<br />
seal.<br />
Applications<br />
• Single- and dual-string packer installations<br />
• Retrievable and permanent installations<br />
• Deviated and horizontal wells<br />
Features, Advantages and Benefits<br />
• The expansion joint can be pressure tested at the surface to ensure seal<br />
integrity.<br />
• The pressure rating of the joint is compatible with the tubing, providing<br />
pressure integrity during production, shut-in, and stimulation.<br />
• The joint can be pinned in an open, closed, or midstroke position,<br />
enabling selection of the correct stroke before deployment to avoid<br />
damage from overstressing the tubing during production or stimulation.<br />
• The joint design enables it to be stacked for additional stroke<br />
requirements, reducing inventory and saving rig time.<br />
• The full-bore construction provides an unrestricted ID that enables a<br />
maximum flow rate.<br />
• The rugged construction provides high tensile strength for maximum<br />
durability.<br />
Options<br />
• Premium seal stacks are available in materials compatible with fluid<br />
environments.<br />
• Standard EUE, NU, and premium connections are available on order.<br />
• Alternate strokes are available on order.
