 Tubing String
Tubing string is the normal flow conduit used to transport produced
fluids to the surface or to inject fluids to the formation. Production tubing
is assembled with other completion components to make up the
production string,
string, which should be compatible with the wellbore
geometry, reservoir production characteristics and the reservoir fluids.

The proper selection, design, and installation of tubing string are critical
parts of any well completion. sub-surface safety valve, side pocket
mandrels, artificial lift equipment, landing nipples, sliding sleeves and
production packers are the most common completion components.

Sizing is also important, a tubing string that is too small causes large
friction losses and limits production. It also may severely restrict the type
and size of artificial lift equipment. A tubing string that is too large may
cause heading and unstable flow, which results in loading up of the well
and can complicate workovers.

 What is a Packer?
A Packer is a sub-surface tool used to provide a seal between the Tubing and Casing (or
wall) of a well, thus preventing the movement of fluids past this sealing point.
