Detailed Description

HPL-1 Hydraulic Set Retrievable Production Packer – Large Bore Design for Enhanced Performance

The HPL-1 Hydraulic Set Retrievable Production Packer is a large-bore, hydrostatic-set, double-grip packer, designed to optimize production, injection, and zonal isolation applications. Its expanded internal diameter provides increased flow capacity, reducing pressure drop and improving overall well efficiency. The packer is set using tubing pressure, eliminating the need for tubing manipulation and making it particularly effective in low hydrostatic head wells where conventional setting methods may be challenging. Once engaged, the multiple packing element system ensures a mechanically locked, high-integrity seal, sustaining pack-off force throughout its operational life.

To maintain wellbore stability, the hydraulic hold-down pistons engage after setting, preventing movement due to differential pressure. The body lock ring securely traps the setting force, ensuring that bottom-hole pressure fluctuations or tubing contraction do not compromise the seal. The large bore configuration makes the HPL-1 packer especially suited for high-volume production, deviated wells, and applications requiring unrestricted flow paths for enhanced reservoir performance.

For retrieval, operators can apply a straight upward pull or utilize the optional right-hand rotational release, depending on well conditions. The shear release mechanism enables controlled removal, minimizing downtime and reducing the risk of stuck tools. With its large-bore capability, secure hydraulic setting, and reliable retrievability, the HPL-1 packer is a high-performance solution for maximizing production efficiency, minimizing flow restrictions, and optimizing well completions.
