Packers PE

• Isolate the annulus to provide sufficient


barriers or casing corrosion prevention
(production packer)
• Isolate different production zones for zonal
isolation (e.g. downhole flow controlwells)
• Isolate gravel and sand (gravel pack packer and
sump packer)
• Provide an annular seal in conjunction with an
ASV
• Provide a repair or isolation capability (e.g.
straddle packers)

Packers PE

Without seal (anchors)


• Prevent tubing movement in pumped wells
– especially sucker rod pumped wells.
• Prevent tubing movement (and reduce
associated stresses) when the tubing is
sealed into a gravel pack packer.
• Transfer tubing loads to the casing in
weight-sensitive applications such as
TLPs.

Packer PE

• Mechanical set
Single grib
Double grib

• Shallow to medium setting depths


• Low to moderately high pressures
• Straight hole or moderate deviation

Packers PE

Mechanical set – advantages


• Cost - Generally these packers require
less initial investment
• Repeated use - The setting mechanism
enables the packer to be set, released,
moved and reset without removal and
redressing procedures.
• Versatile - Packer may be used for a
variety of applications including service
work.

• Hydraulic set
 Single string differential set retrievable packer
 Single string hydrostatic set retrievable packer
 Selective set single string hydrostatic set retrievable packer
 Dual string hydrostatic set retrievable packer
 Multiple conduit hydraulic set retrievable packer

• Shallow to medium depths


• Low to medium pressure applications
• Multiple packer single string completions
• Dual string completions
• Selective set multiple packer completions

PE4063/6463, Well Completion – Dr. Evren OZBAYOGLU Chapter 7

Packers PE

Hydraulic set – advantages


• After the packer is set, energy is stored in the ratchet
mechanism that ensures continued force against the
element seal and slips to securing the packer.
• Since the setting force is mechanically locked into the
packer, it is capable of holding differential pressures or
tubing forces from above or below the packer.
• This type of packer may be set after the wellhead has
been installed.
• Dual tubing string completions and multiple packer
applications generally utilize hydraulic set packers,
which require no tubing movement in the setting
process.

Packers PE

Permanently set
• incorporation of full 360º back-up on the packing
element
• elimination of complicated pressure equalizing systems
and their potential leak path
• much greater slip coverage in the casing I.D.
• easier and more economical to manufacture in high alloy
material for hostile environment service
• most models are suitable for high pressure application
in wells of any depth
• allow use of larger tubing sizes

Wellhead PE

• The wellhead is the basis on which


the well is constructed and tubulars
suspended during the drilling and
completion operation

PE4063/6463, Well Completion – Dr. Evren OZBAYOGLU Chapter 7

16
Wellhead
Functions PE

• Each of the casing strings which are run, cemented and


have an extension to surface or the seabed, as well as
the production tubing string(s), are physically
suspended within the wellhead
• The wellhead provides the capability of flanging up a
device to control the flow of fluid from or into the well
 BOP (during drilling)
 Christmas tree (during production)
• Each wellhead spool or landing area offers a flanged
outlet allowing hydraulic communication into that
annulus

PE4063/6463, Well Completion – Dr. Evren OZBAYOGLU Chapter 7

Wellhead PE

• There are 3 basic wellhead designs in


frequent use
Conventional Spool System
Compact Spool Systems
Mud Line Suspension System

Christmas Tree PE

• The Xmas Tree is the production


flow control system and it is a
system of valves which control
physical or hydraulic access into the
tubing string or the annulus between
the production casing and tubing
string

PE4063/6463, Well Completion – Dr. Evren OZBAYOGLU Chapter 7

Christmas Tree
Access Capabilities PE

• To inject into or produce from the


production tubing - access is provided
through the flow wing valve or kill line
valve
• To lower into the production tubing a
wireline service tool string - the vertical
access is provided through the swab value
• To completely close off the well
