high temperature well casing repair

Expandable steel Patch High Temperature

Scroll Indication »

Saltel Industries have developed and qualified a new range of products available under 200°C/392°F working conditions, from 4-1/2 into 13-3/8 in casing sizes.

Saltel High temperature casing patch is a permanent solution used to repair a zone of damaged tubing or casing, to shut-off unwanted perforations, to seal a leaking sliding sleeve or other remedial operations. This expandable short length of tubular features high-quality stainless steel tube combined with an elastomer outer skin and a profiled sealing system. Saltel high-temperature Patch is run on tubing or drill pipe. At depth, the Patch is expanded using a high-pressure inflatable element and pushed against the casing to activate the outer seals. The setting tools are then extracted, to leave a pressure-resistant inner lining inside the well.

Setting temperature limited to 150°C (300°F). 

Saltel High Temp Patch is based on the Standard design modified to use high-temperature elastomer.
