Overview

Remediate damaged, stuck, or cut casing without lengthy fishing operations or costly sidetracks

Casing Reconnect™ metal-to-metal, gas-tight casing repair system is an ISO 14310 V0-rated, full-axial-load-bearing reconnection solution that seamlessly addresses stuck or damaged casing. It provides a robust, cost-effective remediation solution for the life of the well. With no reduction in ID, it can also be used to realign space-out.

When subsea wellhead or mudline suspension systems require a workover, a subsea tieback may be installed between the wellhead and the rig to assist with landing out the tieback string. The Casing Reconnect system allows space-out flexibility with a high-integrity seal to enable safer workover activities.

Pressure rating up to 7,985 psi [55 MPa]
Temperature rating up to 302 degF [150 degC]
Axial load rating up to 1,500,000 lbf [6.7 MN]

    FAQs

    How does it work?

    During the life cycle of the well, the wellhead or casing may be damaged or deemed no longer suitable for the well design. Alternatively, during drilling operations, the casing may become stuck at a point close enough to the intended landing depth to remain viable. In these situations, using the Casing Reconnect system enables cutting the casing anywhere between the wellhead and the top of cement or stuck point and subequently pulling it out. Replacement casing is then run with a Casing Reconnect system receptacle on the bottom—correctly spaced out with the casing hanger. The casing stump is morphed into the receptacle to rejoin the two strings with a high-axial-load-bearing, metal-to-metal seal. The system accommodates excess swallow at the connection, greatly simplifying space-out for correctly landing the hanger.
