Word of the Week – Slotted Linear

Slotted Liner

In geothermal wells, this is a type of production casing that does not go to the surface, and instead with the aid of a “liner hanger” it extends below the casing shoe to protect the wall of the well. Slotted liner has pre-milled slots that allows for production or injection of fluids along the full length of the lined interval, wherever feed and injection points might occur in the rock formation hosting the reservoir.
