4 Job Preparation Packers, Completion Systems, Modular Retrievable
In order to ensure successful installation and operation of the packer over the
lifetime of the completion, the following must be considered:
• The tool requires tubing differential to set, and thus needs a tubing blanking
device such as a pump-out plug or wireline retrievable plug to be run below it.
• The start-to-set pressure may be adjusted by changing the quantity of shear
screws if packer setting needs to be sequenced with other activities.
• The tension-to-release may be adjusted by changing the quantity of shear
screws in order to ensure that the packer is not prematurely released due to
tubing forces, piston effects or other factors.
Instructions for calculating shear forces and adjusting shear screw quantities
are given in the following sections.
Note: Shear screws

Care must be taken when removing and reinstalling shear screws. Incorrect
assembly or handling of shear screws may cause damage, affecting the shear
rating of the screws. Typically shear screws are installed with medium-strength
thread locking compound (i.e. Blue Loctite) after testing and prior to shipping or
running the tool.
4.1 Setting Shear Screw Configuration
4.1.1 Overview
The setting sequence of the packer is determined by shear screws located in the
lower piston, slip cage, and lower gauge ring. For the packer to properly set, the
following factors must be considered:
• The screws in the lower piston are the first to shear when setting the packer
(set-initiation-pressure); the pressure to shear these screws must be high
enough so that there is no risk of it being exceeded and prematurely setting
the packer while run-in-hole.
• The slips must be anchored before the element starts to set, thus the shear
force from the screws in the slip cage must be less than the shear force from
the screws in the lower gauge ring.
Private
• The screws in the slip cage are not loaded until those in the lower piston
have sheared, thus the screws in the slip cage can always be kept at their
default quantity.
• The screws in the lower gauge ring are the last to shear while setting the
packer (element setting start pressure); the highest potential pressure to
shear these screws must be lower than the shear pressure of the pump-out
plug (or similar blanking device) or burst rating of the tubing or other
components in the tubing string.

• The tubing must be pressured up to and held at the recommended setting
pressure (3,500 psi)4-1for the elements to fully pack-off and seal; the shear
pressure of the pump-out plug (or similar blanking device) or burst rating of
the tubing or other components in the tubing string must be higher than this.
To determine the shear value, multiply the quantity of shear screws by their
nominal shear strength. To obtain the corresponding shear pressure, divide
by the setting piston area of the packer. To calculate the minimum possible
shear value, the tolerance of the shear screws must be considered as well as
temperature correction. Values for these variables are given in the setting shear
screw configuration table. The formula for minimum possible shear value is
given below:
(n x (S − t ) x TCF )
P=
A

The formula for maximum possible shear value is given below:

† When increasing the default shear screw quantities, do not use more screws than necessary to maintain the
setting sequence prescribed in section 4.1.1: Overview. The recommended quantity to maintain the prescribed
setting sequence is indicated in parenthesis above.
†† Testing has confirmed that the shear screws used in the slip cage and lower gauge ring may shear up to 1,100
lbf above their nominal value when installed in the MRP Packer; the prescribed tolerance band for these shear
screw is +/-200 lbf. This difference is due to geometric and metallurgical differences between the packer and
the test fixture used by manufacturing to ensure batch to batch consistency of shear screws. Proper pre-job
preparation is required to ensure that the increased shear value is accounted for when determining the potential
range of packer setting pressure. This is particularly critical when changing the default shear screw configuration
as the minimum setting pressure may need to be increased to shear all screws in the setting mechanism. Refer to
section for additional instructions and sample calculations.
4.1.3 Calculation Examples
4.1.3.1 Example of Calculating Minimum Set-Initiation-Pressure

Given conditions: 9 5/8 x 4.500 MRP is configured with 6 shear screws in the
lower piston; downhole temperature is 325 degF.
Private
Question: What is the minimum possible set-initiation-pressure?
Setting piston area, A = 7.72 ; nominal shear strength, S = 1,500 lbf; shear
tolerance = ±150 lbf, temperature correction factor, TCF = .880 (use the next
higher value from the table).
P = n x (S-t) x TCF / A = (6) x (1,500-150) x (.88) / 7.7 = 925 psi

Answer : the minimum pressure at which the packer will start to set is 925 psi.
4.1.3.2 Example of Calculating Maximum Set-Initiation-Pressure

Given conditions: 9 5/8 x 4.500 MRP is configured with 6 shear screws in the
lower piston; downhole temperature is 325 degF.

Setting piston area, A = 7.7^2 ; nominal shear strength, S = 1,500 lbf; shear
tolerance = ±150 lbf.
P = n x (S+t) / A = (6) x (1,500+150) / 7.7 = 1,286 psi
Answer: the maximum possible pressure at which the packer will start to set
is 1,286 psi
4.1.3.3 Example of Calculating Maximum Pressure to Initiate

Element Setting
Given conditions: 9-5/8 X 4.500 MRP is configured with 4 shear screws in the
lower gauge ring; downhole temperature is 250 degF.
Question: What is the maximum possible element setting start pressure?
Setting piston area, A = 7.72; nominal shear strength, S = 3,000 lbf; shear
tolerance = +1,100/-200 lbf.
P = n x (S+t) / A = (4) x (3,000 +1,100) / 7.7 = 2,130 psi
Answer : the maximum pressure at which the element will start to set is 2,130 psi
Private
4.1.3.4 Example of Calculating Minimum Pressure to Initiate

Element Setting
Question: What is the minimum possible element setting start pressure (same
conditions as above)?
Setting piston area, A = 7.72; nominal shear strength, S = 3,000 lbf; shear
tolerance = +1,100/-200 lbf. Use TCF = 0.83
P = n x (S - t) x TCF / A = (4) x (3,000 -200) x (0.83) / 7.7 = 1,207
Answer: the minimum pressure at which the element will start to set is 1,207 psi.
4.1.4 Multiple Packer Completions

The MRP may be run in series with additional packers for multiple zone
completions. If required, the setting shear screw configuration can be modified to
stagger the setting of each packer. The minimum and maximum shear value at
the Lower Piston (set-initiation) and Lower Gauge Ring (element setting start)
should be calculated for each packer as described in the previous sections to
ensure that setting will occur in the sequence required. lists the maximum
number of screw holes available at each position.
4.2 Release Shear Screw Configuration
4.2.1 Overview
The amount of tension that must be pulled on the tubing string to release the
packer is called “tension-to-release”. Exceeding this tension will shear screws
connecting the Lower Cone and Mandrel, allowing the packer to be retrieved. For
the packer to remain safely installed and then properly released, the following
factors must be considered:
• The minimum tension-to-release must be high enough so that it will never be
exceeded during the life of the completion. Conditions which may produce
tension in the tubing include, but are not limited to, piston effects, ballooning,
and thermal contraction.
• The maximum tension-to-release should not exceed the tensile strength of
the tubing, or any component in the tubing string.
Private
To determine the tension-to-release, multiply the quantity of shear screws

by their nominal shear strength. To calculate the minimum tension-to-release
the tolerance of the shear screws must be considered as well as temperature
correction. Values for these variables are given in releasing shear screw
configuration table. The formula for calculating minimum tension-to-release is
given below:
T = n * (S-t) * TCF
The formula for calculating maximum tension-to-release is given below:
T = n * (S+t)
Term Definition
T tension-to-release
n quantity of shear screws
S nominal screw shear strength
t shear screw strength tolerance (+ = max, - = min)
TCF temperature correction factor

Given conditions: 9-5/8 X 4.500 MRP is configured with 13 shear screws in the
lower cone; downhole temperature is 275 degF.
Question: What is the minimum tension-to-release?
If nominal shear strength, S = 8,000 lbf; shear tolerance = +2,000/-800 lbf,

temperature correction factor, TCF = 0.886 (use the next higher value from the
table).
T = n x (S+t) x TCF = (13) x (8,000-800) x (.886) = 82,929 lbf.
Answer : the minimum tension-to-release for the packer is 82,929 lbf.
4.2.3.1 Example of Calculating Maximum Tension to Release

Given conditions: 9-5/8 x 4.500 MRP is configured with 13 shear screws in the
lower cone; downhole temperature is 275 degF.
Question: What is the maximum tension-to-release?
Private
If nominal shear strength, S = 8,000 lbf; shear tolerance = +2,000/-800 lbf,

temperature correction factor, TCF = 1.0
T = n x (S + t) x TCF = (13) x (8,000 + 2,000) x (1.0) = 130,000 lbf
Answer: the maximum tension-to-release for the packer is 130,000 lbf.

4.3 Limiting Tensile Force at Packer

During standard operation, tensile force at the packer should be limited to 75% of
the nominal tension-to-release. This will maintain loading below limits for screw
strength tolerance and temperature effects. Conditions which may produce
tensile loading at the packer and must be considered in packer application and
completion design include the following:
• Piston effect due to differential pressure between lower annulus and upper
annulus against packer piston area; see the following section entitled Packer
Piston Area for a complete description.
• Ballooning of tubing string due to increased tubing pressure.
• Tubing contraction while injecting.
4.3.1 Packer Piston Area

Differential pressure in the tubing and annulus around the packer can produce
piston effects that load the tubing string and packer. Differential pressure below
the packer element acts to load the shear release screws, and can prematurely
release the packer if too high. The inside diameter of the seal sleeve (the
component which seals between the packer shell and mandrel) or packer seal
diameter determines the piston force that acts into the shear release. This
diameter is shown in the table below. The area between the seal sleeve diameter
and casing ID is loaded directly through the packer body into the slips and
casing. Inside of the seal sleeve diameter is called the packer piston area and
loads through the shear release. The packer seal diameter is listed for each size
of MRP in Table 4-3: Packer Seal Diameter MRP.
Table 4-3: Packer Seal Diameter MRP
Packer Size Packer Seal Diameter, D (in2)

9-5/8 in X 4.500 4.7800
The piston effect acting on the shear release is calculated with the formula below:
Private
F=piston force on shear release

P=lower annulus differential pressure
D=packer seal diameter
d=tubing diameter (depends on tubing condition)

[....]=packer piston area
The packer piston area depends on the tubing condition:

• In the case of plugged tubing, lower annulus pressure acts across the entire
packer seal diameter (D), d=0.
• In the case of isolated tubing, lower annulus pressure acts between the
packer seal diameter (D) and the seal diameter (d) that the tubing string
seals against below the packer.
• In the case of unplugged tubing, lower annulus pressure acts between the
packer seal diameter (D) and the inside diameter (d) of the tubing string.
For a thorough discussion of hydraulics and piston effects, refer to the

Completions Hydraulics Handbook.
4.3.1.1 Example of Packer Piston Effect Calculation

Given conditions:
A 9-5/8 X 4.500 MRP has been set, and crosses over to 3-1/2-in., 9.30 ppf tubing
(ID = 2.750-in) above the packer to surface. Lower annulus differential pressure
is 4,500 psi. The tubing is unplugged.
Question: What is the piston effect acting on the MRP shear release?
From Table 4-3: Packer Seal Diameter MRP: packer seal diameter, D =
4.7800-in.
F = (4,500) x [π x ((4.780)2 – (2.750)2) / 4] = 54,024 lbf.
Answer : The shear release will see about 54 kips under these conditions.
Sufficient screws would have to be installed to ensure the packer does not
prematurely release.

5 Job Execution
The following procedures should be followed during the job to ensure that the
MRP is installed correctly.
5.1 Pre-Job Procedures

Prior to running the MRP, ensure that all well conditions and plans are known,
and that the limitations of the MRP are understood and compatible with the
project. Verify that shear screw quantities for the Set Initiation Pressure and
Tension to Release are appropriate for well conditions.
Note: Shear screws

Care must be taken when removing and reinstalling shear screws. Incorrect
assembly or handling of shear screws may cause damage, affecting the shear
rating of the screws. Typically shear screws are installed with medium-strength
thread locking compound (i.e. Blue Loctite) after testing and prior to shipping or
running the tool.
5.2 Pre-Job Quality Control

After the MRP is received, it must be inspected for damage and the following
checked:
• Measure and confirm all gauge diameters
• Confirm that the correct quantity of shear and assembly screws are installed.
Confirm that the shear screws are secure. If a shear screw is loose, remove
and inspect it. If it is in good condition, install it according to the instructions
given in sections in 7.1.3 and 7.2 in the Maintenance manual.
• Confirm that the packer slips do not protrude outside of the slip cage.
• Confirm that the element package is not damaged.
• Confirm that the packer is the correct configuration that was ordered.
Verify that the packer received is the same that was ordered. Record the packer
model and serial numbers.
Private
5.2.1 Surface Pressure Testing

If internal pressure testing of the MRP is desired prior to running the packer,
the Pressure Test Clamp Assembly and corresponding Test Plug and Test Cap
should be used as specified in section . The following procedure assumes that
only the MRP packer assembly is being tested and it is not part of a subassembly.
Potential Severity: Light

Potential Loss: Assets
Hazard Category: Machinery equipment hand tools
Do not put the packer into storage after internally testing the tool with water.
Water will not completely drain from the tool and result in corrosion within the
packer. Inhibited water or oil is preferred.
Note
The intent of this test is to verify integrity of all O-ring seals in the Packer body.
Should the customer require any additional pressure testing, it must be approved
by engineering to prevent damage to the packer.
Note
Removal of the shear screws is NOT required and is NOT recommended for
this procedure.
1. Secure the packer with a vise on the Upper Gauge Ring.

2. Slide a Collar up the length of the tool, over the Piston Crossover.
3. Place one the Segment Ring (two-pieces) into the groove on the Piston
Crossover, bevelled edge facing downhole. Adhesive tape may help to keep
the Segment Ring in place.
4. Slide the Collar down until it covers the Segment Ring.

Figure 5-2: Test Clamp Installed
Note
Make sure the test clamp is made up tightly. The segment ring should be
shouldered against the test clamp. Please refer to for nominal overall lengths of
installed test clamps. If the measured overall length of the installed test clamp is
more than 1/4-in greater than the nominal overall length, the test clamp is not
correctly installed and the packer may be preset during the pressure test.
8. Install a Test Cap or Plug in each end of the packer.

9. Pressure up the packer bore to 5,000 psi (+100/ -0) with fluid. After initial
stabilization, hold and monitor this pressure for 15 minutes.
10. Following the test, disassemble the Test Clamp, Plug and Cap from the
packer.

5.3 Job Execution Procedures
5.3.1 Packer Setting Procedure

Note
When running the tool, a tubing plugging device such as a wireline retrievable
blanking plug or a pump-out plug must be run below the packer. This procedure
allows tubing to be pressured up to set the packer.
Note
A casing gauge ring and junk basket should be run before the packer to ensure
that the casing is of required ID drift and that no debris is present in the hole.
Debris might damage or preset the packer.
Note
Do not exceed the rated running speed of the packer while RIH, or the element
package may become damaged.
1. Run the packer to setting depth.

2. Apply pump pressure to the preset setting pressure (typically the
recommended setting pressure). Shears should be observed for the slips
and element at the values set.
3. Hold this pressure for thirty minutes to ensure complete setting of the packer.
Potential Severity: Light

Potential Loss: Assets
Hazard Category: Machinery equipment hand tools
The pressure required to shear the pump-out plug must not exceed the maximum
burst pressure rating of the packer. A pump out plug should not be used if open
perforations do not exist below the Packer.
4. If a pump-out plug is installed, increase pressure to shear the pump-out plug.

5. The packer is now set and ready for use.
Private
6. If possible, apply 20,000 lbf of compressive force to the packer and watch for
continuous movement to confirm slip anchoring. If this is successful, remove
load and apply 2,000 psi against the backside and monitor for 5 minutes.
Pressure should be seen to stabilize and hold.
5.3.2 Packer Retrieval

To release the packer, pick up until the Tension-to-Release value is exceeded.

After screws between the lower cone and mandrel shear, the mandrel shifts
upward exposing circulating/equalization ports that may be used for circulation
before coming out of the hole. Pull the first stand up slowly to allow the elements
and slips to adequately relax. Reference the Product Data Sheet for releasing
shear screw strength values, and also to recommend against jarring the MRP
packer prior to full packer release.
