Component Overview
Bar Drop Reverse Circulating Sub
The Bar Drop Sub is designed as a back-up circulating device to reverse out the string. To function, a bar is dropped from surface through the test string. It shears a knock-off rod inside the tool. Once sheared it is then possible to reverse or forward circulate.

Component Overview
Bar Drop Reverse Circulating Sub
Bar Drop Sub only functions in a vertical position. If not possible to run the Bar Drop Sub in vertical position, a rupture disc must be run in place of the knock-off rod. The rupture disc is a shear style disc that bursts at a predetermined value.

Component Overview
Bar Drop Reverse Circulating Sub
To rupture the disc, pressure the test string up to and beyond the predetermined shear value. Once ruptured the string will allow you to reverse or forward circulate.

Component Overview
Hydraulic Downhole Shut-in Tool
A downhole valve that allows for multiple openings and closings. The Shut-in Tool allows running into the hole with an empty test string. This eliminates the hydrostatic pressure on the formation at setting depth.

OPEN

Component Overview
Hydraulic Downhole Shut-in Tool
Functioned by slacking weight on the multiple shutin tool. When weight is slacked off (E.G. 10,000 lbs for five minutes) the valve will open. To close, pick the string back up to the neutral weight and the valve will close immediately.

OPEN

Component Overview
Hydraulic Downhole Shut-in Tool
The tool is also used to achieve periods of flow and downhole shut-in during testing, eliminating false data from the test string wellbore storage. The designed delayed tool opening avoids accidental activation while running in the hole.

Component Overview
Over Pressure Kill Reverse Valve
The primary circulating device that allows the reversing out of hydrocarbons from the DST string following a successful test. Functioned by a pressure activated internal sleeve that shifts to open six circulating ports.
1 of 2

Component Overview
Over Pressure Kill Reverse Valve
After you apply the predetermined amount of pressure to open the valve, the DST string can be either forward or reverse circulated.

Component Overview
Bottom Hole Sampler
Designed to capture a downhole fluid sample. Works in conjunction with the Hydraulic Multiple Shut-in Tool. Captures a sample of the last formation tested prior to tripping out of the well.

Component Overview
Bottom Hole Sampler
This is an optional tool to be run during testing at the clients request.

Component Overview
Recorder Carrier
Carries and protects the downhole memory guages. Each Recorder Carrier can house three guages. Can be placed at any location in the test string. Carriers can be run at multiple locations on the DST string. Locations based on clients data collection requirements.
INTERNAL

EXTERNAL

Component Overview
Squeeze Relief Sub
The Squeeze Relief Sub is run in the DST string to effectively allow the upper and lower packers to equalize while running in and out of the well.

Component Overview
TD Hydraulic Jars
Run in the DST string to provide a means of jarring and freeing of stuck tools in the event of downhole issues. Functions by applying an over-pull to the string. When the tool is pulled into tension, a metering system inside the Jars slowly extends until a free point is reached.
1 of 2

Component Overview
TD Hydraulic Jars
Once the free point is reached, the tools provide the effect of a hammer striking an anvil. This gives a downhole jar to the tools. The Jars can be functioned several times if required.

Component Overview
Safety Joint
Designed for use in extremely rare emergency systems where the DST DHA is stuck and unable to be freed using conventional methods. This tool allows you to backoff the stuck BHA with several hand rotations and pull out of the hole allowing recovery of all tools located above the Safety Joint.

Component Overview
Safety Joint
The lower portion of the DST string can be recovered with larger Jars or fishing tools once the BHA is recovered.

Component Overview
Downhole Inflate Pump
Designed to inflate the upper and lower packers. Capable of multiple inflation and deflations in one trip. Functions through the rotation of the DST string aided by the drag string. Dual action piston provides superior pumping capabilities for faster inflation times.

UP

Component Overview
Screen
To be run directly below the Downhole Inflate Pump. Used to filter out debris, and allow only clean drilling fluid to enter the pump and inflate the packers.

Component Overview
Upper Inflatable Packer
This assembly provides the upper seal for selective zonal isolation. Inflated by pressure supplied from the Downhole Inflate Pump. The bottom Sub on the packer also provides communication point from the string to the formation of interest.

Component Overview
Interval Spacing with Bypass Pipe
Used to space out the packers in order to achieve the appropriate testing interval in the formation of interest. In addition, the Interval Spacing conveys pressure from the upper packer to the lower packer.
1 of 2

Component Overview
Interval Spacing with Bypass Pipe
Housed in the Interval Spacing is the Bypass Pipe, which allows communication from the upper packer to the lower packer. This prevents the string from getting differentially stuck.

Component Overview
Bottom Inflate Packer
The Bottom Packer assembly provides the bottom seal for selective zonal isolation. The packer is inflated by pressure supplied from the Downhole Inflate Pump.

Component Overview
Drag Spring
Placed at the bottom of the DST string to provide an anchor for the Downhole Inflate Pump. The Drag String stops the bottom of the BHA from rotating. This allows the remainder of test string to be rotated which functions the pump and inflates the packers.

Component Overview
Drag Spring
The Drag String aids in communication between the upper and lower packer to prevent the BHA from getting differentially stuck.
