III. Liner Systems - a. Introduction to Liner Systems
	Liner systems have been a part of well bore construction for many years. Historically, liner systems have been used for intermediate well bore construction. New technology is now allowing liner systems to be employed in the production environment. More robust hanging systems and, more importantly, more robust and reliable annular packing technology is allowing the application of liner systems in more stringent environments. Allamon Tool Company, having long been the leader in surge reduction as an accessory to running liner systems in tight tolerance environments, now provides liner systems and installation services. Previously existing liner systems were not designed as an integral part of the surge reduction system. Allamon Tool Company has developed leading edge technology in the areas of liner running tools, hanging tools and liner packer tool, as well as liner wiper plugs that when combined provide an enhanced surge reduction system. The premium slip technology developed by Allamon Tool Company allows for expansion of hanging load limits for special applications. The premium slip technology provides a hanging system that can withstand loads created by long heavy liners as well as high loads created by pressure differentials across Allamon Tool Company’s patented ECS liner packer seals. The patented ECS liner packer sealing technology may be the most robust packing system on the market today. It’s bi-directionally boosted sealing element provides reliable pressure retention in either direction. Additionally, it’s robust design provides the highest level of damage resistance due to mud flow around the element during liner installation, circulation, and cementing. Allamon Tool Company’s commitment is to provide liner systems with leading edge technology at the right price!
