LOCK SET
PACKER
The Lock Set Packer is a general purpose casing packer for
production, injection, zone isolation, or remedial operations. The Lock Set Packer holds
pressure from above or below while allowing the tubing to be placed in tension,
compression, or in a neutral condition.
DESCRIPTION
The Lock Set Packer is a "full bore" retrievable casing packer with a built-in
unloader. Opposed, non-transferring dovetail slips and a releasable packer mandrel lock
system prevent packer and tubing movement due to pressure differentials. The mandrel lock
system maintains pack-off and locks the unloader in the closed position until the packer
is released. Tubing can be landed in tension, compression or neutral. Right hand rotation
sets and releases this packer.
USE
The Lock Set Packer is not affected by forces transmitted by the tubing and may be used in
many applications where a permanent production packer might be used, such as
A lower packer for dual packer
completions with an upper dual packer that is set by short string weight
With snap set tension packers
With snap set compression packers
With parallel string anchors
Above a permanent packer
Any other hook-up which allows right hand rotation, with upstrain, to release the
Lock Set Packer. |
