Case Study Operator Expands Operating Envelope Using Improved Packers
Customizable packers enable multizone completions 1–2 days faster, at deeper depths and higher pressures.
High-pressure retrievable hydraulic-set production packer
Facilitate inventory management and maximize application flexibility with the BluePack Max RH™ high-pressure retrievable hydraulic-set production packer.
With robust, single-mandrel construction and a slip-element-slip design, this packer maximizes the operating envelope to deliver strength, reliability, and long service life in high-rate production or water injection wells.
The hydraulic-set packer eliminates tubing movement during installation, improving sealing reliability. It is set by pressuring up the tubing, using any plugging device below the packer. Absence of mandrel movement means that you can set multiple packers at the same time. For applications without plugs, an optional hydrostatic setting trigger can be added below the packer. The trigger requires no hydraulic lines and includes antipreset features.
The architectural design of the BluePack Max RH packer enables changing from a standard cut-to-release (CTR) packer to straight-pull-to-release (SPR) packer with a simple conversion kit. This flexibility means that you can order packers early in the completion planning phase and reconfigure them after delivery to accommodate last-minute changes in operational plans. Moreover, you can use surplus packers from one project for subsequent projects even if release plans change, streamlining your inventory.
The modular architecture of our BluePack™ production packers simplifies engineering designs across the entire family.
You can select the packer that’s best suited for your well environment while configuring certain components and subassemblies of the packer based on the specific requirements or challenges of the well. For example, you might customize the elastomer based on the chemical properties of the fluids that will be in the well.
This standardization not only improves lead times and costs, it also improves operations by ensuring that employees are trained on a standardized deployment methodology.
