Liner
Continuous resin-rich coating on the inside surface of a pipe or fitting component, used to protect the laminate from chemical attack or to prevent leakage under stress.
- Note: 1 to entry: The liner can also be used to provide enhanced abrasion and erosion resistance.

Liner
“Liner” means a length of casing used downhole as an extension to a previously installed casing string to case the hole for further drilling operations and/or for producing operations.

Liner
“Liner” means a string of casing set and cemented which does not extend to surface. Liners are anchored or suspended inside the previous casing string and may serve the purpose of intermediate or production casing strings.

Liner
A liner is a casing string that does not extend to the top of the well or to the wellhead. Liners are anchored or suspended from inside the previous casing string using a liner hanger. The liner can be fitted with special components so that it can be connected or tied back to the surface at a later time.

Liner
A string of casing which does not extend to the surface but is hung from inside the previous casing string and is cemented in place. The overlap of the liner could vary from 50 ft to 500 ft depending on the purpose of the liner. Production liners are set to the top of, or through, the completion interval. Drilling liners are set primarily to case off and isolate zones of lost circulation, highly overpressured zones, and sloughing shales, so drilling may proceed. Repair liners are used to isolate casing leaks and to repair damaged, worn, corroded, or deliberately perforated casing. A large number of wells are drilled without running liners.
