How the Packer Works (ball choke)

The packer is run on the work string, drillpipe or tubing with the “J” track control in the inflating position.

Drop a steel ball to seat at the choke. Pressure up to inflate the packer. See back page for alternate setting mechanisms.

Pick up and rotate a quarter turn to the right, then slack off weight. With the inflating and equalization port between PolyPak seals, packer element is isolated from pressure inside the work string.

Pressure up to shear the ball and choke, opening the mandrel through the packer.

Set down with about 2,000 lbs. at the tool. Rotate a quarter turn to the right and pick up to deflate the packer. Fluid drains into both the work string and into the annulus outside the packer, allowing the packer to deflate fully.

To reset the packer in the hole, pump a phenolic ball down to the remaining ball seat, and repeat the setting procedure. The phenolic ball will shear through the seat, again opening the mandrel through the packer.

TAM-J Applications–Vertical

Problem:

• Scale build-up in perforations

Solution:

• RunThru-Tubing

• Straddle and acidize individual perforationsets

Problem:

• Screen & gravel pack plugged

Solution:

• Perform multiple sets to selectively acidize screen

TAM-J Applications–Vertical

Problem:

• Leak in 22-inch casing or shoe

Solution:

• Perform multiple tests to determine exact depth of leak and squeeze cement to repair

Problem:

• Well requires P&A

• Corroded tubing

Solution:

• Perform multiple sets to locate leaks

• Squeeze perforations and spot annulus cement plugs

TAM-J Applications–Horizontal

Problem:

• Well producing excess water

Solution:

• Perform multiple production tests to determine water entry point

Problem:

• Multi-lateral well producing excess water

Solution:

• Selectively test each leg

TAM-J Applications–Horizontal

Problem:

• Severe lost circulation in lateral

Solution:

• Squeeze cement L/C zones

Problem:

• Low productivity due to formation damage

Solution:

• Perform multiple matrix acid treatments as required
