Packers and Liner Hangers • Basic Overview • Applications and Selections of Packers • Setting Criteria and procedures
What is a Packer? • A packer is a tool used to form an annular seal between two concentric strings of pipe or between the pipe and the wall of the open hole. • A packer is usually set just above the producing zone to isolate the producing interval from the casing annulus or from producing zones elsewhere in the wellbore. • Separates fluid types (or ownership), protects against pressures and corrosion.
Why are packers used? • Tubing and packer used to isolate zone of interest - can be removed for repair. • Packers act as downhole valve for press control. • Packer can be a temporary plug to seal off the zone while work is done up the hole. • Subsurface safety valves used with packers for downhole shut-in. • Focus flow • Isolate between zones
Packer Cutaway Drawing As the packer sets, the inner mandrel moves up, driving the cone underneath the slips, pushing them into the casing wall. The sealing element is compressed & extruded to the casing wall. Lock Ring and Mandrel Slips Cone Seal Inner Mandrel Ability to effectively set a packer depends on having a clean, non corroded set point and reaching the set point without fouling the slips or failing other components.
Packers and Liner Hangers Mechanical isolation methods Two examples: 1. An external casing packer (ECP) set to seal the annulus between the surface or protection string and the inner, production string 2. A conventional packer set near the end of the tubing, that isolates the inner annulus from the tubing.
Packer Considerations • Force on an area Remember, it’s a force balance. Area down = casing ID - tube OD Area up = tube x-section + casing ID - tube OD
Packer Types & Selection Production Packers Retrievable Permanent Wireline Set Sealbore Hydraulic Set Hydraulic Set Hydrostatic Set Single Wireline Set Hydraulic Differential Set Dual Mechanical Single Grip Mech. Slips Double Grip Hyd. Slips Multiport RMC ESP Schlumberger
Retrievable Packers • Expected to be retrieved • More prone to leaks • Need an equalizing port • Release mechanism must be possible with well design
Retrievable Packers Tension Set - Economical packer used in production, injection, zone isolation applications • Compact • Simple J slot control for set and release • Shear ring secondary release • Right-hand safety joint emergency release • Rocker type slips • Can be set shallow Weatherford
Retrievable Production Packers Mechanical - Used in production, injection, fracturing, zone isolation and remedial applicatuions • Rotation set and release • Can be set with tension or compression • Tubing can be landed in tension, compression or neutral • Models rated up to 10,000 psi • Pressure equalization needed prior to upper slip release • Secondary shear release required Weatherford
Retrievable Production Packers Mechanical Used in production, stimulation and testing • Compression set • RH rotation required to set, (LH option usually available) • Available with or without Hydraulic hold down buttons for differential pressure from below • By-pass needed for equalization of pressure, and for running and retrieval without surging/swabbing the well. Weatherford
Retrievable Packers Wireline set - Used in production, injection, fracturing, zone isolation and remedial applications where wireline setting is preferred • Can act as a bridge plug prior to production • Connect to tubing via On/Off Tool with blanking plug • Tubing can be landed in tension, compression or neutral • Slips above and below the elements • Triple element pack off system • Pressures to 10,000 psi • Fluid bypass needed for pressure equalization • Retrieved on tubing • Secondary shear release needed Weatherford
Seal Bore Packers • Allow tubing movement; however: – Too much contraction can pull seals out of PBR – Seals can “bond” to the seal bore over long time at higher temperatures – Debris on top of packer can stick assembly
Unprotected seals below the packer may allow seal swelling by gas and fluids, causing seals to roll off if the stinger is pulled out.
Deep Completions • Most typical is permanent packer with a PBR (arrangement depends on personal preferences, individual well configurations and intended operations). • Seal assembly length dependent not only on normal operations, but also fracturing, kill and expected workovers.
Seal Bore Packers • High pressure & temperature ratings available • Multiple packing elements available • Short units are desirable for use in tight doglegs (>5o) and high (>8o/100ft) departure angles • Ability to set on wireline or with a hydraulic setting tool • Rotationally locked units needed for mill-ability • Share Seal Assemblies with permanent seal bore packers • Critical metallurgical and seals (O-rings, etc) should be isolated from wellbore fluids by main elements. Weatherford
Retrievable Seal Bore Packer One-trip applications • Hydraulic set version retrievable seal bore packer available for one-trip installations • Seal assembly is run in place for one trip installation • Available with large upper seal bore to maximize ID • Rotationally locked components Weatherford
Permanent Seal Bore Packers Used in one trip production applications • Seals run in place for one trip setting • A metal back-up system can be specified to casing ID to prevent element extrusion • Elastomer and materials available for hostile environments Weatherford
Packer Considerations • Select seals for full range of expected temperatures, pressures, and fluids. • A back-up system is need around the main seal to prevent seal extrusion at high temps and pressure. • Examine slip design to help avoid premature setting during movement through viscous fluids, doglegs and rough treatment

SINGLE UNIT Chevron Seals: End spacer Used for higher pressure and Seal spacer temperature applications. Middle spacer CHEVRON SEAL SINGLE UNIT Nitrile Seal or Viton Seal Weatherford
Seal Bore Packer Accessories • Tubing Anchor and Locator Assemblies • Seal Units and Spacer Tubes • Seal Bore and Mill-Out Extensions • Packer Couplings and Bottoms • Pump-out, Screw-out, and Knock-out Bottoms Weatherford
Inflatable Packers and Plugs • Reasons to run and inflatable. – Need to set beneath a restriction. – Need to set in open hole. – In non-standard casing. – Setting in multiple sizes of pipe on same run. – Where larger run-in and retrieval clearances are needed. – Large diameter applications.
Inflatable Setting Considerations The inflatable packer offers a way to set a seal in a larger area below a restriction. The quality of the seal depends on how much the packer must expand over initial diameter, the length of the slide (placement run), the Holding ability of the inflatable differential pressure it must hold, is always suspect since it does what fluid is used for inflation and not have conventional slips. the conditions in the area in which it is set. When deflating an inflatable packer, allow time (1 hr?) for relaxation of the elements. The elements never shrink back to initial diameter – allow about 30% increase in diameter for retrieval.
Inflatables rely on expansion of an inner rubber bag that pushes steel cables or slats against the wall of the pipe or the open hole. The only gripping ability is generated by the friction of the steel against the pipe or open hole. This is critically dependent on the inflation pressure and the exterior slat or cable design. For a permanent seal, place several bailers of cement on top of the inflatable. Baker
Perforation Wash Tool Used for selective acidizing of perforated intervals • Heavy Duty reinforced casing cups • Spacing between cups adjustable from 12” to any length by addition of standard tubing pup joints • Large internal bypass • Cup wear from casing burrs can be significant and may reduce seal, especially in long zones. • The number of successful resets depends on casing conditions, pressures, slide length (running), temperature and deviation. Weatherford Successful resets run from about 5 to over 20.

Packer specifics from Baker
Casing Design Options – think about running and setting packers. Mixed Mixed Monobore: weights, grades mixed same and grades, grade weights same weight Small diameters at the top of the well may prevent entry by some packers.
Production Packers • Purposes – Casing protection from fluids or pressures – Separation of zones – Subsurface pressure and fluid control – Artificial lift support equipment
Packer Considerations • Seal stability – pressure, temperature, fluid reaction • Force balance and direction – slip direction • resists upward motion, downward or both ways) • tension, compression, mechanical or hydraulic set
Allowing Tubular Movement • Usually incorporate a PBR - polished bore receptacle, for a “stinger” or seal assembly to slide through. • Shoulder out on the PBR - if it can move, it will eventually leak. • Seals must match operating extremes as well as general conditions.

Forces and Length Changes • Temperature: • Piston Effect: • Ballooning • Buckling: A tubing movement calculator is the best method, but the difficulty is in knowing accurate temperature changes and pressure changes.
Is it Force or Length Change? • No packer - tube suspended and not touching well bottom - length change • Tube landed on packer - incr. force with increasing temp, shortening possible with cooling after downward force absorbed. • Latched tubing - no movement, only forces • Tube stung through - length changes unless locator is shouldered • If tube set in tension or compression, effects of temp depends on initial force and DT
Temperature, length change DL = CLDT Where: DL = length change C = expansion coeff. for steel = 6.9x10-6/oF L = length of tubing DT = average temp change, oF
Temperature, Force change • F = 207 DTa As • Where: F = temperature induced force DTa = change in average temp of tubing, oF As = cross sectional area of tubing
What Temperature is Average? • If no circulation - assume all tubing is same as injected fluid temperature. (worst case) • If circulation is allowed, all but top few joints will be unaffected by injected fluid temp. - no temp change. (v. slight effect) • Injected fluid temp? - source dependent! • In dual packer - treat each packer as a separate calculation. Bottom string first.

Problem • Temperature Effect Only – Is a 6 ft seal assembly (effective seal length) enough to keep the tubing from unseating when the average temperature falls from 210oF to 100oF during a Frac job? L = 8000 ft. – Assume locator is shouldered but no downward force is applied.
Problem • Temperature Effect Only DL = 6.9 x 10-6 x 8000 x 110 DL = 6.1 ft unseats! What if 15,000 lb downward force were applied to the tubing before the temperature change?
How much temperature increase is spent lifting the 15,000 lb? • F = 207 x DT2 x 2.59 in2 DT2 = 15000 / (207 x 2.59) = 28oF Then: 110 - 28 = 82oF DL = 6.9 x 10-6 x 8000 x 82 = 4.52 ft
What about those other factors? • Buckling, Piston, Ballooning - Use a computer program - better yet, use a couple of them (different assumptions).
Temperature Extremes • The extremes of temperature change (higher than normal) are usually seen in operations involving cyclic thermal processes. • Lower than normal temperatures may be seen in permafrost, sea floor penetrating and CO2 operations.
Setting the Packer • Chances of setting packers go up sharply when a casing scraper is run. (Remember the burrs on the perforations?) • The quantity of debris turned loose from the casing wall is often severe! (Tens of pounds worth!) Watch the formation damage.
Packer Set Point Requirements • Avoid setting packer in the • Remove burrs from pipe same joint where previous above packer set point packers have been set. • Remove debris (dope, mill • Avoid doglegs, fault scale, mud, cement, etc.) on locations or high earth stress casing wall (fills slip teeth) zones • Well pressures are within • Adequate cement and bond range of packer at set point required behind pipe at • Pipe alloy compatible with packer set point setting slips (hardness of • Caliper casing above and casing relative to packer through the packer set point slips) • Clearance between packer • Slip design & contact area and casing at set point is acceptable for slip holding within rated range of packer • Weight applied to packer • Avoid zones of high can be transferred to corrosion, either internal or formation external.
Information Required Before Setting Packer or Plug • Wellbore drawing with all diameters • Last TD tag – rerun? • Doglegs and deviations • Viscosity of fluid in wellbore – Calculate running speed vs. surge/swab. • Copy of reference logs • Where have other packers been set (avoid that joint) • Set point requirements • How can it be equalized if it has to be pulled?
Job Checks • Measurements from CCL to a packer reference point. • Run in hole at about 100 fpm, slowing at ID restrictions. • Using CCL/GR, log up and correlate depths • Set packer – look for line weight reduction • Disconnect and log up a few collars (may be slightly off depth after disconnecting).
Job Checks • Drop back and gently tag packer with setting tool to confirm depth. • Log back up a few collars.
Packer Setting Guidelines • Drift • Scraping • Casing Support
Drift the Casing • Casing ID requirements above the set point • Casing ID requirements below the set point • Check the drift to deepest point with drift of diameter and length of packer.
Clean/Scrape The Casing? • Removal of perforation burrs minimizes elastomer seal damage • Removal of cement, mud, pipe dope and mill scale minimize debris that can fill the slips. • Scraping casing can increase packer setting success • Scraping casing can also produce some severe formation damage if perforations are not protected.
Casing Scraper – Designed to knock off perforation burrs, lips in tubing pins, cement and mud sheaths, scale, etc. It cleans the pipe before setting a packer or plug. The debris it turns loose from the pipe may damage the formation unless the pay is protected by a LCM or plug.
One very detrimental action was running a scraper prior to packer setting. The scraping and surging drives debris into unprotected perfs.
