AS-1X
RETRIEVABLE
PRODUCTION PACKER
The
AS-1X Retrievable Production Packer is a versatile packer that meets several requirements
for zone isolation, injection, pumping, and production. The packer is designed to
withstand 10,000 psi differential allowing it to be used in completions where
high-pressure treating operations are performed. A full opening ID corresponding to the
appropriate tubing allows unrestricted flow and passage of wireline tools and other
accessories. After setting, the packer can be left in tension, compression, or neutral. An
internal bypass reduces swabbing effect during running and retrieving. The bypass closes
upon setting the packer. When releasing, the bypass opens first to equalize pressures
before releasing the upper slips. A non-directional slip is released first which makes it
easier to release the other slips. The mechanical locking action holds pressures from
above and below the packer, whether the packer is set in tension, compression, or neutral.
FEATURES
Will sustain 10,000 psi working pressure for applications that include acidizing,
fracturing, and production testing operations.
One-quarter
turn to set and release: right hand set - right hand release, or left hand set - right
hand release.
Can be
set with tension for use in shallow wells.
When
set, the tubing may be spaced out with neutral, tension, or compression loads at the tool.
Bypass
opens before upper slips are released.
May be
run in conjunction with an equalizing valve as a bridge plug. |
