Welltec® deploys metal expandable packer technology across a wide range of completion applications, from zonal isolation and multistage fracturing to openhole plugs and sustained casing pressure mitigation.
Fully surface-controlled expansion eliminates waiting time and enables barriers to be set on demand, providing reliable placement and robust isolation for life-of-well.
Versatile configurations support cemented and cementless completions, while a proven global track record demonstrates the technology across varied well architecture and operating environments.

Take control of zonal isolation
Reliable zonal isolation is fundamental to completion performance. Welltec® metal expandable packers feature surface-controlled setting on demand, delivering verifiable zonal isolation without swell time. In multiple North Sea deployments, this approach has enabled operators to accelerate multizone frac programmes and bring wells on production sooner.
• Cementless openhole completion
• Metal expandable packers for zonal isolation
• Surface-controlled, on-demand setting
• Verifiable zonal isolation
• Proven in-field track record
• Earlier production, earlier revenue
Be proactive against SCP
Take a proactive approach to sustained casing pressure (SCP) by integrating metal expandable packers into the well architecture. This provides an additional mechanical barrier alongside cement, delivering life-of-well annular isolation to enhance well integrity and reduce exposure to future SCP, remedial intervention and associated environmental impact.
North Sea applications have delivered
• Mechanical barriers that supplement cement
• Surface-controlled, on-demand setting
• Life-of-well V0-qualified isolation
• Consistent SCP prevention across multiple annuli
• Reduced exposure to remedial intervention
• A repeatable solution for future well construction
Effective multistage frac
An effective multistage frac depends on reliable isolation and successful lower completion placement. Metal expandable packers have proven to provide robust openhole isolation and anchoring, while enhanced annular clearance enables liners to be reamed and rotated to planned depth, supporting controlled stimulation across multiple zones.
Metal expandable packers can be leveraged for
• An unlimited number of zones
• Simultaneous expansion of multiple packers
• A lower completion to be reamed and rotated to depth
• Reliable openhole zonal isolation for life-of-well
• A repeatable solution for future well construction
Permanent openhole plug
Whether managing an unexpected issue or planned isolation, Welltec® metal expandable packer (MEP) technology can be configured to suit a wide variety of applications. When utilized as a permanent openhole plug assembly, MEPs provide reliable isolation of unwanted zones, enabling operations to proceed as planned. This versatile solution can be deployed on standard running tools for rapid contingency response.
Features and benefits include
• Metal expandable openhole plug assembly
• WAB® and WIV® technology combined
• Expansion OD up to 24”
• Operations proceed as planned
• Contingency flexibility from manufacturing to deployment
