ABSTRACT:
The method includes running a liner, production packer and polished bore receptacle (PBR) into a well on the production tubing string, cementing the liner in place by pumping cement through the production tubing string, setting the packer, and optionally thereafter releasing an upper portion of the tubing string from a PBR. A seal assembly isolates the PBR bore from cement exposure during liner cementation. Annular pressure produces a reverse fluid surge and circulating flow to prevent PBR seal area contamination when the tubing string is lifted away from the PBR. A connecting assembly 12 is suspended from a production tubing string 11 to position a liner 17 in a wellbore. The connecting assembly transmits rotational and longitudinal forces from the production tubing string to properly position and cement the liner in the wellbore. The connecting assembly includes a device 20 to limit torque forces on the tubing string, and a longitudinal slip mechanism 28 permits limited longitudinal movement between the connecting assembly and tubing string. A packer 15 is set to seal between the production tubing string 11 and the well casing. An extended length of tubing 11a extends below the packer to provide a continuous tubing/liner-casing overlap area for cementation.
