Features / Description

• Surface controlled combination bypass and equalizing valve.


• Used for production, stimulation, and testing operations.
• Tubing pressure actuated balance piston eliminates excessive set-down weight
requirements.
• Hydraulic hold-down button unit with large internal flow path located below the bypass
valve reduces element swabbing and button wicker dulling.
• Cam setting mechanism.
• Durable three elements, two-hardness packing element system.
• Lower slips held fully retracted during running and retrieving.
• Long friction pads act independent to slips and allow trouble-free passage through
collar recesses and stage tool profiles.
• Full opening, drift tested bore through the packer.

Map Model CS-1 Retrievable Casing Packers are full opening, set-down type hook wall
packers that are applicable for a wide variety of well treating and producing installations. The
packers are available in 4-1/2 - 7-5/8 O.D. casing and feature a large internal bypass through
the packer which communicates with a surface controlled set-down face seal type valve. The
bypass provides free flow of fluids through the packer during running, retrieving, and
circulation, thus greatly reducing packing element swabbing and button slip wicker dulling.
These packers are used when high differential pressure from below the packer is anticipated
and utilizes hydraulically actuated button type slips to anchor the packer against upward
movement. This same hydraulic pressure also acts on a balance piston, which is located just
below the closed face seal. The piston moves downward and shoulders on body thus placing a
downward pull on the body and face seal. This action eliminates excessive tubing set-down
weight required to keep the bypass closed.

The CS-1 Packer can be dressed to set with either right-hand or left-hand rotation. Normally,
right-hand rotation is used; however, left-hand rotation may be desirable when the tool is to be
in the well for a long period of time since releasing to the right is safer.

CAUTION: Always dress the CS-1 to set right-hand when using the MAP cup type Retrievable
Bridge Plug that requires left-hand rotation to release for setting.
Operating Instructions

The CS-1 packer is run to setting depth with the bypass valve automatically held in the open
Position, thus permitting free circulation of fluids around and through the tool which aids in
reducing button slip wear caused by dragging the casing Although ample bypass is provided,
care should be taken to run the tool as slow as possible while avoiding sudden starts and
stops when adding tubing stands. In low fluid level wells, avoid hitting the fluid column at a fast
rate of speed.

To set the packer rotate the tubing 3/4 of a turn to the right for R.H. tools (or left for L.H. tools)
and apply set-down weight (see following charts for the required set-down weight). This
rotation moves the Cam Segment out of the groove in the Body thus releasing the body to
move downward. Applying set-down weight automatically closes and seals the bypass valve
as well as compresses the packing elements and sets the lower slips. Once the tool is set the
formation below the tools is completely isolated from the annulus above and is accessible only
through the tubing string.

In deviated holes it is often difficult to obtain sufficient set-down weight at the tool because of
frictional drag between the tubing and casing. It is recommended in this case that the tubing be
landed with zero pressure then pressure the annulus to the maximum allowable and bleed
back to zero. Repeat the sequence several times to break the static friction and obtain
additional tubing weight to the tool.

Should the packer leak because of insufficient set-down weight, pressure the annulus to help
retract the button slips before applying additional set-down weight.

The CS-1 packer is released by simply picking up. If conditions allow, overbalance the annulus
with a pressure differential before releasing the tool so the button slips will fully retract. This
procedure will reduce the initial pull required to release the tool and greatly reduce button slip
wear. To reset the packer, rotate the tubing 3/4 of a turn to the left for R.H. tools (or right for
L.H. tools) and pick up. This automatically returns the Cam Segment to its running position.
CS-1 packers can be reset for as many operations as desired.

EFFECTS OF TUBING AND ANNULUS PRESSURE ON CS-1 UNLOADER

The unloader in CS-1 packers is not hydraulically balanced for any specific tubing size. This
means that regardless of what size tubing the packer is run on, changes in tubing pressure
and annulus pressure will act either to pump the unloader open (by acting against set-down
weight) or help hold it closed. It is important to know how much force will be created, and in
what direction, for a given change in tubing or annulus pressure.

The Area Table (located at the end of this article) gives area values (in square inches) acted
upon be changes in tubing and annulus pressure and also the direction of the resulting force.
The areas shown unshaded indicated a force tending to hold the unloader closed, while the
areas shown shaded indicated a force tending to open the unloader. The directions of the
forces remain true if the tubing and annulus pressures at the tool are increased. If the tubing
pressure at the tool is decreased (i.e., swabbing) the direction of force will reverse.

When annulus pressure is greater than tubing pressure, the Balance Piston is held by annulus
pressure against the Balance Housing and cannot help hold the packer body down. Only
set-down weight is available to keep the unloader closed. It should be noted that the set-down
weight required to keep the unloader closed need not be added to the weight required to set
the packer if the value calculated is less than the force required to set the tool.

USE OF AREA TABLE

TUBING PRESSURE GREATER THAN ANNULUS PRESSURE AT THE TOOL (COLUMNS


2 AND 3):

A. Multiply the change in tubing pressure at the tool by Column 2.

B. Multiply the change in annulus pressure at the tool Column 3. If the total of these two forces
is tending to open the unloader and is greater than the original set-down weight, additional
set-down weight is required. The additional weight is equal to the difference between the force
tending to open the unloader and required set-down weight.

C. Multiply the tubing pressure by Column 1. Column 1 figures are always shaded thus the
force is tending to open the unloader by lifting the tubing. If by adding all three forces, the
result is a force tending to open the unloader and is greater than available tubing weight before
setting the tool, the tubing will raise and the unloader will open. Since available tubing weight is
the limiting factor, high pressures at shallow depths may be prohibitive.

ANNULUS PRESSURE GREATER THAN TUBING PRESSURE AT THE TOOL (COLUMNS


4 AND 5):

A. Multiply the change in tubing pressure by Column 4.

B. Multiply the Change in annulus pressure by Column 5. If the total of these two forces is
tending to open the unloader and is greater than the original set-down weight, additional
set-down weight is required. The additional weight is equal to the difference between the force
tending to open the unloader and the required set-down weight.

C. Multiply the tubing pressure by Column 1. Column 1 figures are always shaded, thus the
force is tending to open the unloader by lifting the tubing. If by adding all three forces the result
is a force tending to open the unloader and is greater than available tubing weight before
setting the tool, the tubing will raise and the unloader will open. Since available tubing weight is
the limiting factor high pressures at shallow depths may be prohibitive.

ANNULUS PRESSURE GREATER THAN TUBING PRESSURE AT THE TOOL DUE TO


SWABBING THE TUBING (COLUMNS 6 AND 7):

A. Multiply the change in tubing pressure by Column 6.

B. Multiply the change in annulus pressure by Column 7. If the result is a force tending to open
the unloader and is greater than original set-down weight, additional set-down weight is
required. This additional weight is equal to the difference between the force tending to open
the unloader and the required set-down weight.

B. Column 1 must be multiplied by the tubing pressure.

C. Areas tending to close the unloader are shown unshaded. Areas tending to open the
unloader are shown shaded.

D. Multiplying a pressure change by a shaded figure gives a force tending to open the
unloader. Multiplying a pressure change by an unshaded figure gives a force tending to hold
the unloader closed.
