Key words: well design, expandabIe profile liner

It has bееn shown that for the time being local isolation of troubIe zоnes with

expandabIe рiреs with no loss of wellbore ID is the most reliabIe method of

drilling troubIes control. Inclusion of this technology in well programs results in

simplified well design, significant reduction of drilling time and saving of materials.
