HS Hydraulic set Packer

The HS™ is setting the standard for high-performance, single-string retrievable, hydraulic-set shear-release packers. Its simple and reliable design provides maximum pre-set prevention while running and has improved sealing and retrieving reliability, metallurgy and elastomer selections it for the well environment. Other applications include: production, injection and zonal isolation; single-string selective completions or dual-string completions with multiple packers; completions that require pre-set prevention while running; deviated wells or other applications when rotation for installation or removal is not beneicial; when it is beneicial to displace and set packers after the well is langed up. The HS-S™ is beneicial when testing the tubing string before packer setting or to independently set and test individual packers in multiple-packer completions and stacked packer applications. The HS-S is the selective-set version of the HS hydraulic-set single-string packer. Setting and retrieval is the same as the HS with the exception of an inner sleeve that must be shifted mechanically before the packer will set. The selective-setting mechanism prevents the packer from premature setting when high tubing-to annulus pressure differences are encountered or when tubing- pressure tests are performed. Accessories A tubing-plugging device must be positioned below the packer for actuation: E™ hydraulic-trip sub (Product Family No. H79928); CMU(D)™ sliding sleeve (Product Family Nos. H81079 and H81080) with blanking plug; low-control seating nipple with blanking plug; hydraulic-setting devices (Product Family Nos. H46921, H79928 and H75917) View Details

ESP 9 5/8” Production Packer

Electrical Submersible Pump Packer

downhole Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) Packer for a 9 5/8” casing is a critical component in artificial lift systems, designed to provide a secure, pressure-tight seal between the tubing and casing while allowing the electrical cable to pass through to the ESP. Here’s how it works:

1. Hydraulic-Set, Dual-Bore Design

This single-mandrel, dual-bore packer is hydraulically set by applying fluid pressure through the tubing. This eliminates the need for mechanical manipulation, making it an effective choice for deviated or high-angle wells where mechanical setting might be challenging.

• The dual-bore design incorporates a dedicated pass-through bore, allowing the power cable to run from the surface, through the packer, and down to the ESP below.

• This configuration enables uninterrupted power delivery to the pump while maintaining zonal isolation in the wellbore.

2. Bi-Directional Slip System for Secure Anchoring

Once hydraulic pressure is applied, the case-carburized bi-directional slips engage against the casing wall.

• These slips are hardened to withstand high loads and anchor the packer firmly in place to resist both upward and downward forces caused by reservoir pressure fluctuations and ESP-induced pressure differentials.

• This ensures that the packer remains securely in position, preventing unintended movement during production or shutdown cycles.

3. Versatile Release and Retrieval Mechanism

When it’s time to retrieve or replace the ESP system, the packer features a flexible release system:

• The standard retrieval method involves applying a straight upward pull on the tubing, which disengages the slips and allows the packer to be removed.

• Alternatively, for applications where higher retrieval forces might be impractical, a cut-to-release option is available, enabling efficient removal in more challenging well conditions.

Operational Advantages

• Reliability in High-Load Applications: Designed to handle the extreme downhole conditions associated with ESP operations, including high fluid flow rates and pressure fluctuations.

• Adaptability to Various Completion Designs: The dual-bore configuration accommodates different ESP setups and cable-routing requirements.

• Efficiency in ESP Deployment: By securely isolating production zones while allowing cable pass-through, the packer streamlines the ESP installation process and enhances system integrity.

This ESP packer plays a vital role in ensuring reliable artificial lift performance, particularly in deep or high-pressure wells where stable downhole conditions are essential for maximizing production efficiency.

Isolation Packer HP-2 Hydraulic Set 7" Packer

Setting Mechanism

The Ballycatter WC-HP-2 Isolation Packer is hydraulically set, meaning it is activated using tubing pressure rather than mechanical manipulation. During deployment, the packer is run into the wellbore as part of a stacked packer system, positioned above another hydraulic retrievable packer.

Once in place, hydraulic pressure is applied through the tubing, which compresses the packing element system, forcing it outward against the casing wall. Simultaneously, the slips engage to anchor the packer in position, ensuring a secure, pressure-tight seal within the isolation zone. The hydraulic setting eliminates the need for tubing rotation, making it particularly effective for deviated wells or conditions where mechanical manipulation is restricted.

Once set, the packer remains mechanically locked in place, independent of trapped hydraulic pressure. This design ensures that differential pressures, wellbore fluid movement, or thermal expansion and contraction do not compromise the seal, maintaining long-term zonal isolation. The packer can be used for treatment, injection, or production operations, providing a stable isolation barrier between zones for efficient fluid control and optimized reservoir management.

Retrieval Mechanism

The WC-HP-2 Isolation Packer is retrieved using a straight-pull shear release system, which allows for efficient and controlled removal without requiring tubing rotation.

When an upward force is applied to the tubing, the shear-release pins disengage, allowing the packing elements to relax and the slips to retract. This mechanical release mechanism ensures that retrieval forces remain unaffected by differential pressure, providing operators with a predictable and reliable method for packer removal.

For added flexibility, the shear-release force can be adjusted before running the packer to accommodate different well conditions.

The compact, debris-resistant design of the packer facilitates smooth retrieval, even in doglegged or deviated wells, reducing the risk of tool sticking.

By providing a simple, efficient release mechanism, the WC-HP-2 minimizes rig time and operational costs, making it a practical and cost-effective solution for multiple-zone completions and casing isolation applications.
