Executive Summary
The Ballycatter HP-3 is a hydraulic-set packer purpose-built for high-angle and deviated well applications. With no tubing movement required, it allows safer and more controlled operations. The dual-piston mechanism ensures a reliable pack-off, while integrated release options and a pressure-equalizing valve make retrieval straightforward. Its rugged design supports multi-zone completions and reduces swabbing during pull-out, making the HP-3 an efficient and practical solution for modern field requirements.

Detailed Description
Ballycatter HP-3 High Angle Packer
Available sizes: 5 1/2”, 6 5/8”, 7”, and 9 5/8”
The Ballycatter HP-3 is a hydraulic-set packer engineered for high-angle and deviated well applications, where conventional mechanical or wireline-set tools are not feasible. This packer is particularly suited for single or multi-zone completions, offering flexible deployment in complex well trajectories.
Unlike mechanical systems, the HP-3 requires no tubing movement to set. This enables full well control throughout the operation, as the tubing can be landed and the wellhead installed prior to circulating or displacing fluids.
Key Features:
• Reliable Setting Mechanism: Utilizes dual balanced pistons—one actuates downward to anchor the bi-directional slips, while the other moves upward to compress a three-element packing system. This simultaneous action ensures a secure set and pack-off.
• Three-Element Seal: The packing system uses dual-durometer rubber elements to ensure long-term sealing integrity across a range of downhole conditions.
• Slips & Housing: One-piece, bi-directional slips are housed in a shear-pinned chamber, protected by a full-diameter guide to prevent damage during deployment.
• Release Options: Features a dual-method release system:
• Straight pull via shearing of pre-set screws.
• Right-hand rotation (approx. 8 turns), followed by straight pull.
• Equalization & Retrieval: Built-in equalizing valve opens automatically during release to balance pressures and enable safe retrieval. A large-diameter bypass within the mandrel allows fluid to flow during retrieval, reducing swab effects on the packing elements.
The HP-3 is engineered for reliability, operational flexibility, and full well control—making it a practical choice for complex wellbore geometries.
