As in a compression set hookwallpacker, a tension set packer is sensitive to

temperature,pressure, and force changes. Ample tension must be applied to

the packer to assure packer stability and all extreme operating conditions
must be considered. Bumping and jarring of the tubing string while releasing a
packer can place damaging forces on the tubing string in excess of tubing
yield. A compression set packer if stuck, places a large tension force (top joint
failure) on the tubing string, while a tension set packer (if stuck) may place a
large compressive (buckling) force on the tubing string white being released.

The end result of a completionforce and lengthchange calculation is to arrive

at a stress value, which can then be compared to known tubing yield strengths
in order to determine whether or not permanent buckling or top joint
separation will occur under the most extreme conditions. Packer failure
