HOUSTON-- Enventure Global Technology, the pioneer in solid expandable technology, today announced two significant milestones: the successful installation of one million feet of expandable liner with a new Cased-hole 3-½ x 4-½ in. high-performance expandable system. The 30-ft (pre-expansion length) SET® System was installed in a North Dakota well as part of a three-well remediation project for a major North American operator.

The operator planned-in Enventure’s high-performance SET System to repair a failed frac sleeve. By utilizing a high-performance expandable system, the operator was able to finish the planned completion technique.

“Expanding our one millionth foot of liner on the first commercial installation of a new expandable system is significant on many levels,” said Ray Ballantyne, Enventure’s chief executive officer. “It not only continues the company’s record-setting history, but it also proves our technology’s reliability and the industry’s acceptance of expandables as a cost-effective, high-performance solution compared with alternatives. We are extremely proud of our accomplishment and look forward to helping the industry continue to achieve objectives previously unimaginable 10 years ago.”

Enventure’s new, single-joint, high-performance system was designed to facilitate completion and production applications. It provides a 3-¼ in. pass-through and has been tested to withstand up to 10,000 lbs per square inch (psi) at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

"The growing breadth of expandable applications continues to demonstrate the diversity of the technology and proves its value to the operator in each stage of the well’s lifecycle," said Kevin Waddell, Enventure’s technology and marketing vice president. "We expect this latest application to springboard our efforts in bringing expandable technology to unconventional and fracture enhancement projects."
