Enventure Successfully Deploys SET® Expandable Liner Hanger for Williston Basin Operator
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enventure Global Technology, a leader in solid expandable well solutions, has successfully deployed its 4-1/2 in. x 7 in., 32 ppf SET® Expandable Liner Hanger system with a 16,150 ft x 4-1/2 in., 13.5 ppf conventional liner for an independent oil and gas operator in the Williston Basin. This successful installation reinforces the performance and versatility of Enventure's liner hanger system, engineered to address complex downhole environments with simplicity, efficiency, and reliability. The deployment highlights the technology's adaptability to a variety of well conditions and its ability to integrate seamlessly with conventional completion programs. 'Our SET® Expandable Liner Hanger establishes a new standard for operators that have experienced issues with setting Liner Hangers in challenging environments due to torque and pressure limitations of existing offerings,' said Brandon Hoff, Deputy Executive Chairman at Enventure. 'This deployment in a very long horizontal lateral commonly seen in the Williston Basin is further evidence of our commitment to delivering robust, reliable solutions that help operators reduce operational risk, simplify installation, and enhance production performance.' The SET® Expandable Liner Hanger's no-moving-parts design eliminates the common mechanical failure points seen in traditional hanger systems, while eliminating the possibility of premature release of the liner during deployment. Its high torque and rotational capability make it ideal for extended-reach applications and challenging directional profiles. This operation exemplifies Enventure's engineering excellence and the practical benefits of its expandable technology platform, empowering operators to meet today's operational challenges with confidence and precision.

Shares of TJX jumped 5.2 percent at 9:49 a.m. Wednesday in New York to a record high of $141.55. The stock had gained 11 percent this year through Tuesday's close. Customers have grown more worried about tariff-related price hikes and inflation. The Framingham, Massachusetts-based retailer's model offers lower-priced items from popular brands, and has the ability to swap its inventory based on availability. TJX is thriving while other retailers struggle to cope with shifting tariff policies from the Trump administration and economic uncertainty keeping shoppers' wallets tight. Advertisement 'While its closest peer set, department stores, continues to face margin pressure and store closures, TJX delivered margin improvement and continued to grow its footprint, cementing its healthy position in a mixed economic climate,' said Suzy Davidkhanian, an analyst at Emarketer. TJX has been aggressively snapping up excess merchandise from brands looking to clear out piles of unsold goods. Management said there were 'excellent buying opportunities' in the market and pounced on those deals. Total inventories rose nearly 14 percent to $7.4 billion for the quarter. Advertisement As retailers report earnings, investors and analysts are looking for clues about price changes and shopping behaviors.
