How XCELIS system helps you optimally select, configure, deliver, and produce
your wells
XCELIS* high-performance liner hanger systems have been holistically designed to reduce the
constraints of your liner casing well construction operations. The system uses a digital twin—
combining analytical and numerical analysis for full understanding of the system’s mechanics—
followed by rigorous and extensive testing in compliance with and exceeding the requirements
for its API Specification 19LH. The XCELIS liner hanger system’s digital twin parametric
modelling enables us, together with you for your most challenging wells, to capture design intent
using features and constraints, and automate repetitive changes to produce a set of optimal
design solutions for you.

How XCELIS system improves production liner and intermediate


liner casing run-in-hole operations
When running the liner string, whether it is a production liner or an intermediate liner casing
string, the compact length and large bypass area reduces the surge-pressure risk of lost
circulation, enabling faster descent speeds and reducing rig time. The patented interlocking pocket
slip, cone, and retention ring design prevents presetting due to friction and avoids loosening or
loss of slips while running in the hole.

The high operational torque capacity enables rotation to overcome ledges and hole collapse
or reduce friction of longer liners to reach target depth. The liner hanger system can be
floated or, to limit buoyancy, can be used with modified floatation equipment to use the
mud-over-air method.

How XCELIS system improves liner hanger setting operations


During displacement and hole cleaning, the large bypass area and shorter length reduces
equivalent circulating density (ECD). The slip and cone interface has the same effective bypass
area in both the unset and set conditions, enabling improved hole cleaning and higher tolerance
to debris accumulation.

When setting in the previous casing string, the slip design’s aggressive bite improves hanging
capacity with deep host casing engagement to avoid slippage. The rail-free slips uniformly
distribute the axial load so as not to jeopardize the host casing’s integrity.
