This paper outlines a short introduction of the status of the implementation of Expandable Tubular Technology in PDO in general and the job history of a short Expandable Sand Screen (ESS) installation in cased hole. It highlights the benefits of using ESS for such applications in terms of cost and production. This ESS installation also involved the first use of a modified section of a casing patch as a hanging mechanism.
