NERA-2 Sliding Sleeve
The NERA-2 Non-Elastomeric Sliding Sleeve is a communication device with a ported inner sleeve that can be opened or closed using a shifting tool by standard slickline or coiled tubing methods. Equalising holes in the inner sleeve provide pressure equalisation between the tubing and casing annulus as the sleeve is opened. The Sliding Sleeve is made up and forms part of the tubing string. The NERA-2 Sliding Sleeve is a shift-up-to-open tool.
The NERA-2 Non-Elastomeric Sliding Sleeve uses common machined parts that allow the shift-open direction to be changed from up-to-open to down-to-open by simply substituting different end subs.
The NERA-2 Non-Elastomeric Sliding Sleeve is designed for use in high temperature wells to establish a means of communication between the tubing string and casing annulus for single-string or multiple-string completions. The NERA-2 Sliding Sleeve may be used for directing flow from the casing to tubing in alternate or selective completions. Other applications include well control, spot acidizing and fracturing or equalising pressure between an isolated formation and the tubing string.
