Introduction Inflatables Swellables

 ACP Element System
®

1. Single-piece mandrel (no welding or internal connections)

2. Protected, top-mounted valve system with patented seals and full redundant valve system
3. Steel ribs at the top and bottom of element provide strength and reinforcement during inflation
4. Shallow square threads machined on mandrel featured on discontinuous rib packer prevent element slipping or wadding during run-in
5. Unreinforced center section of element in discontinuous rib packers allows for maximum expansion capability, conforming
to borehole shape and size
6. Application specific elastomers exhibit resistance to high temperature, corrosive fluids and gases (up to 375F for standard applications
plus geothermal applications up to 650F)

 Ease of installation for less than competent experience.

 Collet legs twist during installing.
 Pre-pin locking feature.
–The pre-pin feature will indicate if the valve system is properly installed
and fit to lock-out as designed.
 Can be installed in all SC and HD Bulldog ACP’s.
 Can be pinned to open as high as 5,500 psi
 Gas tight

 10,000 psi
 300 degF

Introduction Inflatables Swellables

 Achieving Isolation with a Micro-
Seal™
MSIU-U MSIS-B
• Heart of the Micro-Seal Isolation System • Placed over or between stop collars or secured
with set screws
• Placed between stop collars or secured with set
screws • Provides excellent standoff in open or cased
hole

MSIS-R
• Spiral or straight-blade configurations minimize drag while
RIH
• Blades collapse if restricted; prevents stuck pipe
• Hydrodynamic spiral blade shape optimizes mud
displacement

Proven “cage” design adds unit strength and improves

elastomer bond

 Nemisis® Annular Swellable Packer PACKER MANDREL
• Standard API tubular
• Exotic metals by order
•Anti-extrusion system effectively eliminates extrusion
failure commonly associated with standard design GAUGE RING
packers • Standard wire lock system
•Shorter, slimmer design eliminates sticking while with anti-rotation set screws
providing higher pressure differential
•Performance keys are end ring design and dimensions
•Solid metal gauge ring provides radial standoff; protects
element during installation
•Packer length and OD reduce ECD concerns PROPRIETARY ANTI-EXTRUSION SYSTEM
• Bonded to elastomer
• Activated by swelling elastomer
• Stabilizes swollen element
• Prevents axial swelling
• Increases pressure rating
• System engineered to hole specification

Oil Swellable Hybrid Water Swellable

Oil Swellable Hybrid Water Swellable

• Diffusion-absorption process
• Swell time and volume
governed by temperature and
hydrocarbon composition
• Will swell in condensate &
wet gas
• Swell speed customizable
Swell Rate is faster at higher
temperatures and in lighter
hydrocarbons.
• Hybrid elastomer capable of
swelling in either hydrocarbon,
water-based solutions, and/or
wet gas
• Swell speed customizable for each
activation fluid
(independent swell control)
• Element is single piece of rubber
(not sections)
Combination
• Swell time and volume governed by temperature
and water salinity
• Will swell in water vapour
• Swell speed customizable
• SAP (super absorbent polymer) used as means of
swelling
Swell Rate is faster at higher temperatures and
lower salinities
