Model "SC-1" Gravel Pack Packer

Product No. 488-20

DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION:
The Model “SC-1” Gravel Pack Packer is a fully retrievable, high
performance retainer production packer. Although it was primarily
designed for use in gravel pack applications, it may also be used as
a completion packer where the need for a high performance retriev-
able retainer production packer is required.
The Model “SC-1” Gravel Pack Packer is fully compatible with stan-
dard Baker sealing accessories, including retrievable and/or expend-
able plugs.
The Model “SC-1” Gravel Pack Packer is capable of withstanding
differential pressures up to 6000 psi max from above or below in
applications where it is not anticipated that the packer bore will be
plugged off by either an expendable or retrievable type packer plug.

FEATURES/BENEFITS:
• Short overall length; only slightly longer than the comparable
size permanent production packer, facilitating easier running/
retrieving through “doglegs” and tight spots
• Single, self-energizing “cup forming” packing element for
repeated low and high differential pressure reversals
• Ductile cast iron components constructed above the slips to
enhance the emergency milling up of the packer should it be
impossible to retrieve by the conventional method (i.e., a
straight pull)
• A hydraulically operated interlocking device, incorporated into
the setting sleeve, preventing the setting of the packer during
retrieval, should it be impossible to reach the required setting
depth
