Stretching Steel!

Expandable liner casing has been around the drilling industry for several years now.  This advancement allows for a troublesome permeability zone to be isolated when drilling in order to prevent drilling fluid loss into the formation.  This short clip show hows expandable casing can be set and provide an inner diameter almost equivalent to an inner diameter of previous casing which has been cemented.  This can help preserve wellbore diameter and allow for larger downhole radius for optimum production.

    Hi,

    Your embedded video is covering up your text (at least on my computer). You may need to add more spacing.

    I added a few more lines of spacing. Hope that fixed the issue.
