Provides stable and secure attachment of the shank, which is important for efficient drilling.
Load distribution.
Allows the load from the drillstring to be evenly distributed, reducing the chance of damage or excessive wear.
Minimizing vibration and oscillation.
Helps reduce the effects of vibration, which improves drilling accuracy and stability.
Maintains drill string verticality.
Keeps the shank in a vertical position, which is important for precise control of the drilling path.
Where is the liner suspension used?
On drilling rigs - to support the liner while drilling and lowering the drill string. In drillstring systems - to increase drillstring stability during deep drilling. In difficult geologic environments - where additional support and stability of the drillstring is required.
Benefits of use:
Increases drilling safety.
Ensures stability and accuracy of the drill string.
Reduces equipment and pipe wear.
Increases rig efficiency.
Reduces the likelihood of breakdowns and accidents.
