Well Construction Solutions
AirLock® G Casing Buoyancy System
The AirLock G Casing Buoyancy System offers the same reliability and functionality of our original AirLock casing buoyancy system but uses a high-strength glass disk pressure seal that shatters and diffuses into the well fluid leaving a full-drift ID.
- AirLock operation is simple and passive, requires no intervention
- Section above the airlock sub filled with fluid, air filled section below sub remains buoyant
- Improved buoyancy allows deeper depth and reduces sliding friction by as much as 50%
- Sub contains high-strength glass disk pressure seal with shear ring
- More than 12,000 AirLock systems installed with a success rate over 99%
AirLock® Casing Buoyancy System
The AirLock Casing Buoyancy System significantly reduces casing running time, cost, and risk without intervention or interference with casing and cementing operations.
- AirLock operation is simple and passive, requires no intervention
- Section above the airlock sub filled with fluid, air filled section below sub remains buoyant
- Improved buoyancy allows deeper depth and reduces sliding friction by as much as 50%
- Sub contains high-strength dome-shaped pressure seal with shear ring
- More than 12,000 AirLock systems installed with a success rate over 99%
GoPort™ Interventionless Toe Sleeves

NCS Multistage GoPort toe sleeves provide a simple, dependable way to achieve initial formation access for any completion.
- Eliminates the need for a tubing-conveyed perforating run
- Works with any style of completions
- Full ID with no restrictions and slim OD for easy run-in
- Compatible with cemented or open-hole completions
- Compatible with high-density cement
- Does not interfere with cementing operations
- Mandrel design matches or exceeds casing string yield and torque ratings
Innovus™ Pressure-Actuated Toe Sleeves

Innovus Toe Sleeves are a simple, reliable way to achieve access to the initial formation for pinpoint completions and can also be re-closed using a coiled tubing deployed tool.
- Installed and cemented as part of the casing string
- Sleeve can be re-closed using a coiled tubing deployed tool
- Requires a bottom sleeve-locator sub
- Works with all sleeve-type or plug-and- perf completions
- Compatible with cemented or open-hole completions
- Compatible with high-density cement
- Eliminates the need for a tubing- conveyed-perforating run
- Does not interfere with cementing operations
- Mandrel design matches or exceeds casing string yield torque ratings
Vectraset™ Liner Hanger System

Vectraset™ helps you avoid presets during RIH with recessed slips while multiple slip pads evenly distribute hanging weight to protect casing integrity.
- A one-piece, high-strength mandrel means no hidden connections
- Two-step actuation sequence prevents unintentional running tool release
- Pressure is contained within the running tool when setting the hanger slips
- Prevents surge forces on liner and formation, saving time and displacement fluid
- Hanger slips are set prior to cementing for maximum reliability (no plug bumping)
- Large flow area through the set hanger slips facilitates circulation and cementing
- Features a bonded cover that will not swab off during circulation and cementing
- Rated to 103.4 MPa (15,000 psi) at 180° C (350° F)
- A 20-ft floating-seal tieback receptacle is standard
Vecturon™ Liner Hanger System

Vecturon™ is a performance liner hanger that provides flexibility in design and execution.
- A one-piece, high-strength mandrel means no hidden connections
- Two-step actuation sequence prevents unintentional running tool release
- Pressure is contained within the running tool when setting the hanger slips
- Prevents surge forces on liner and formation, saving time and displacement fluid
- Hanger slips are set prior to cementing for maximum reliability (no plug bumping)
- Large flow area through the set hanger slips facilitates circulation and cementing
- Features a bonded cover that will not swab off during circulation and cementing
- Rated to 103.4 MPa (10,000 psi) at 127° C (257° F)
- A 10-ft floating-seal tieback receptacle is standard
Casing Float Equipment
Float Equipment is used in the lower section of the well as part of the Shoe Track. It comes in a variety of designs to meet various well and operational requirements. Float Equipment typically refers to Float Collars, Float Shoes and/or Guide Shoes.
Float Shoes serve several functions. They guide the casing, provide a barrier to prohibit wellbore fluid and pressure from entering the casing string during installation and serve as the primary valve during the cementing operations.
- Available in 2 7/8” to 20” sizes in various materials and threads
- Standard and high-pressure configurations available: 5,000 – 15,000psi
- Single valve, dual valve or auto-fill options
- Standard design has a flat profile and is compatible with standard plugs
- Non-rotating option features a “locking plate” that offers quicker drill out
- PDC drillable
