Sucker rod pumping systems are the oldest and most widely used type of artificial lifting system for oil wells. Sucker-rod pumping is the most widely used artificial lift method for onshore oil wells. Sucker-rod strings transfer the motion from the driving machine on the wellhead to the downhole oil pump. Pump diagnoses are generally conducted through an interpretation of the pump dynamometer graph (pump card).

Baker Hughes introduces the SABRE™ mechanical-set retrievable packer. This packer is a single-string retrievable packer based on the proven performance and reliability of the Hornet packer. It is especially designed to perform reliably in standard-pressure injection and production applications. It is a tension set or compression set and can be landed in compression, tension, or a neutral condition. The SABRE provides reliable performance in a retrievable packer under combined conditions of 250°F (121.1°C) and 7,000 psi (482.6 bar) differential above or below the packer. We can source from current stock or direct from the manufacturer.

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)

The FH™ is the industry-standard, hydrostatic-set and shear-release single-string retrievable packer. It can be used in the following applications: production, injection, and zonal isolation; single-string selective completions or dual-string completions with multiple packers; deviated wells or other applications when rotation for installation or removal is not beneficial; when it is beneficial to displace and set packers after the well is flanged up; when testing the tubing string before packer setting or to independently set and test individual packers in multiple packer completions is beneficial. The FH packer is hydraulically activated by applying tubing pressure against a plugging device below the packer. The packer requires only straight pull to release. The FHL™ is the large-bore version of the FH packer. Features, advantages and operational procedures are the same as those for the FH packers 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; Baker Hughes low-control seating nipple with blanking plug; hydraulic-setting devices (Product Family Nos. H46921, H79928 and H75917)

The Premier™ packer is a hydraulic-set, large-bore, removable production packer. It combines the performance of a permanent packer with the conveniences of a retrievable packer. The Premier is ideally suited for big-bore completions and multizone stacked-packer completions. Its retrieving options offer new alternatives in high intervention cost applications. We can source from current stock or direct from the manufacturer.

The Baker Hughes SC-2™ retrievable packer is a high-performance, retrievable, sealbore packer. It can be run and set on electric wireline, slick line/tubing with the same setting tools used for the D packer. We can source from current stock or direct from the manufacturer.

The WL™packer is a new wireline-set, retrievable, high-performance production packer, run in combination with the L-10 on/off tool. The WL can be run as a temporary bridge plug by installing a blanking plug in the L-10 seal nipple, above the packer. This enables remedial or stimulation work above the packer. The plug can then be removed with conventional wireline methods, allowing production of the well to be resumed.

The MJS™ packer is a compact, high-performance, thermal packer system which offers an expansion joint and a casing packer in a single assembly. The MJS is a rotationally set, double-grip packer, speciically designed for use in steam injection, huff and puff or geothermal production wells, when a wide range of pressures from above or below are anticipated. Please note: Tubing weight and grade must be capable of applying minimum speciied setting torque to the packer. We can source from current stock or direct from the manufacturer.

Storm Choke® H safety valves are ambient-type, wireline retrievable valves that are normally closed and precharged with a set dome pressure. When the well flowing pressure drops below the predetermined dome-pressure charge, as a result of a rupture in the flowline or surface equipment, the dome pressure and valve spring are designed to close the valve, shutting in the well. The H valve is used in wells producing large volumes of abrasive fluids. Its large bore is not restricted by a flow bean. The valve is designed to resist pressure surges. A metal-to-metal (MTM) ball and seat is used as the primary closure mechanism. The H valve is ideal for protecting wells with declining bottomhole pressure because this valve is tubing pressure sensitive instead of velocity sensitive. To reopen, the valve pressure must be fully equalized either by applying pressure in the tubing from the surface or by running a prong to allow equalization from below. The valve will reopen when the tubing pressure acting on the internal piston area overcomes the dome charge.

An annular vent sleeve valve communicates between the casing annulus and producing formation. The valve is a hydraulically operated sliding sleeve device like a surface controlled subsurface safety valve with a hydraulic piston and a power spring to maintain the valve in a normally closed position. The valve is used with a bull plug on top or as an annular safety valve by providing annular bypass while control pressure is applied. With an electrical feedthrough device, this valve functions through a single packer mandrel as an electric power cable passage and annular bypass. On a dual hydraulic packer, the valve operates by a common hydraulic control line that sets the packer and operates the tubing-retrievable safety valve. Hydraulic pressure from the control line shifts the valve open to create a flow path across the packer in the annulus. Spring force closes the valve upon loss of control-line pressure to the piston. If the valve becomes inoperable or closed, an emergency shear feature allows fluid to be pumped into the producing formation from the annulus. Applications » Gas lift and electric submersible pump situations Features » Accurate fluid level shot during pumping because of large ported area through the vent sleeve » Maximum gas vent flow area allows increased gas flow rates and lower circulating pressures » Valve will shut off flow from either direction — production or injection *description excerpted from manufacturers catalogue.

The AV annulus safety valve is a fully retrievable high performance annulus safety system packer with integral annulus safety valve. The system provides annular bypass through a hydraulically operated poppet valve. The AV system is run in a single trip in conjunction with a setting sub that can be shifted for hydraulic tubing-set or can be alternatively control-line set from surface. Applications The AV system is used for controlling annulus fluids in gas lift applications, monitoring of annulus pressures in critical situations, and in one- or two-trip annulus safety system completions. The completion can be run to depth and set with the surface tubing hanger flanged up. It can also be used in completions in which spacing out against a subsurface tubing hanger is required (i.e., no elastomeric expansion joint necessary). The tailpipe can be left in either tension or compression. The system can be used where high tensile loads and pressure differentials exist with the completion anchored in unsupported or poor condition casing. Features » Interlock system prevents preset » Tubing test facility while running » Hydraulically set in one trip on tubing with no mandrel movement » Annulus-mounted release mechanism » Internal/external components rotationally locked together » Element anti-extrusion system » One-trip system allows multiple control-line bypass » Premium thread connections — no elastomeric seals tubing to annulus » Primary release method is applied tubing pressure using dedicated punch release tool on slickline » Secondary release method available with simple tubing cut *information collected from manufacturer literature

MC (flapper-type) injection valves are used in injection wells to automatically shut-in the tubing string when injection stops or flow reverses. MC injection valves are spring-loaded, wireline-retrievable valves with large bores. The MC injection valves also feature sealing areas that are out of the direct flow path. These valves are designed to be held open by injection pressure for fluid passage. If injection flow becomes static or reverses for any reason, the spring and/or reverse flow causes the valves to close. These valves are designed to remain closed until pressure differential across the valves is equalized and injection is resumed. Applications » Injection wells Features » MC valves have sealing areas that are out of the direct flow path *information sourced from manufacturer
