ABOUT RADIAL ELASTOMER EXPANSION DEVICE (REED)

How REED Works 

REED is a powerful hydraulic tool conveyed in the wellbore with jointed or coiled tubing. Using hydraulic pressure from surface, the tool pulls the bottom upward and closes, producing a radial expansion force on the inside of the casing.

Unlike other systems that use mechanical loading/unloading systems or explosives, REED’s expansion forces can be infinitely controlled from surface by varying operating pressure.
