Tension/Compression set
packer
• Pressure from below the tool boosts the packing elements into the slip assembly.
• When using tension packer consideration should be given to the type of wellhead
and Christmas tree.

• By adding the bypass valve for this type of packer it will assist equalize the
pressure in the tubing and annuals.
• The Retrievable tension/compression set packer does not rely on constant tubing
forces to maintain its packoff, this tool is much more versatile in application.
- Well stimulation must be planned carefully to avoid premature shear release value of the packer.
- Maximum tensile capabilities of the tubing string when selecting the shear release value of the
packer are required.
- A temporary plugging device must always be incorporated below the lowermost hydraulic set
packer facilities hydraulic setting on the packer.
• Once the packer is installed and the wireline is retrieved, a seal housing is run in the
hole on the bottom of the production tubing.
• The housing has internal seals that, when landed on the polished nipple create a seal
between the tubing and the annulus.
• The tubing can be retrieved from the wellbore at any time without disturbing the packer
by unlaying the seal housing from the polished nipples.
