Weatherford International Ltd. has now installed 400 expandable systems in wells around the world.

The 400th installation was performed for BP in the Schiehallion Field, deepwater west of Shetlands, and employed Westherford's modular single-trip expandable completion system.

The system integrates Westherford's Expandable Sand Screen technology with any conventional zonal isolation devices, including Weatherford's proprietary MetalSkin solid expandable tubular system. The result is a modular reservoir management system that the company says provides multiple zonal isolation in openhole completion, fluid loss control, and single-trip functionality.
