TST-2 13-3/8” SERVICE PACKER

DESCRIPTION
The BJ 13-3/8” TST-2 Retrievable Service Packer is designed for use in sweet service wells at moderate
temperature. It is used for service operations such as squeeze cementing, formation fracturing, and tubular testing.
The TST-2 packer features an integral bypass, which allows rapid running without external unloader valves. A
system of hydraulic hold-down buttons allows the TST-2 packer to automatically grip the casing when tubing
pressure exceeds annular pressure, preventing packer movement while treating below the packer. These buttons
retract when the tubing and casing pressures equalize, allowing easy retrieval. The TST-2 is a compression-set
packer designed to operate at differential pressures up to 4500 PSI above or below the packer. Operations are
normally limited to 225° F. with the standard elements and seals.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Integral Unloader and Fluid Bypass. The TST-2 packer is well suited to operations such as spotting fluids while
the packer is still set. The bypass design also allows circulation around the bottom of the packer, allowing rapid
removal of debris, cement or treating fluids from the bottom of the packer.
Reliable Setting. The slips on the TST-2 packer ride in a dovetail slot. This gives the slips an even bite, spreading
the load evenly over the casing. This positive slip deployment also helps to center the packer within the casing. The
slips also use tungsten carbide inserts to allow reliable gripping of all types and grades of casing and allow
penetration of scale and other build-up on casing walls.
Reliable Release. Picking up the tubing string opens the unloader. This equalizes the pressure across the hydraulic
hold-downs to allow retrieval.
Proven Packing Element System. The packing element system used on the TST-2 packer is a robust, field proven
system used throughout the industry. The element system consists of three packing elements of varying hardnesses.
The center element is softest, usually 70 durometer, and provides a quick effective seal. The outer elements are 90
durometer, and provide additional sealing and prevent extrusion of the center element.
Full Bore Design. Wireline tools and perforating equipment may be run through the packer while performing
service operations.
Keyed Mandrel Connections. The mandrel connections to both top and bottom subs are keyed to prevent back-off
down hole.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to Running
Make sure that the well is as clean as possible. Consult slack-off charts for specific combinations of tubing and
casing to make sure that enough set-down weight can be applied to the packer. Check hydraulic effects prior to the
pressurizing the casing or starting the job. Make sure that there is enough set-down weight at the packer to hold the
bypass closed, and that the casing will withstand the treating pressures and packer induced forces. Make a fishing
diagram and note packer configuration, i.e. 13-3/8” TST-2 with RH L. Verify that the packer ID is clear of
obstructions (run water from rig hose through the packer in sight of rig personnel, drift packer if necessary).
Function test packer. Work drag block housing to set position, push drag block housing toward packing elements
and verify free movement of all slips. Return the drag block housing to the running position. Make up TST-2
Service Packer and any accessories to tubing or drill pipe. Verify that packer is in the running position. Verify BOP
is open. Run packer to desired depth.
Note: At the depths that packers are typically run at, i.e. 1,500 feet and less, several hundred feet
of drill collars must be run immediately above the packer to achieve the set-down weights
required for pack-off.
To Set
Note: Assume a RH manual packer will be used. All pipe movement stated will be what is
required at the packer. Rotate ¾ turn to the right.
Slack-off pipe weight to get at least the minimum set-down weight on the packer. (See set-down weight chart page
4) Close the rams on the surface and pressurize the annulus to test the packer for leaks. If pressure in the annulus
cannot be maintained, the packer should be pulled and inspected.
Note: If the packer shows evidence of leaking when pressured from below due to insufficient set-
down weight, pressure the annulus to 200 psi for 2 minutes to help the buttons retract before
adding weight.
To Spot Fluids
After the packer has been tested, release any annular pressure first and the then tubing pressure. Pick the packer up
2” to open the bypass. Begin spotting fluid. When the fluids are properly positioned, slack off to close the bypass.
Apply weight to the packer. Monitor annulus and tubing pressures throughout the job.
To Release
Releasing the packer and pulling from the hole too quickly (before the buttons can completely retract) can damage
the buttons. Therefore, before retrieving, bleed down tubing pressure first so that annular pressure will help the
buttons retract. If this is not possible, bleed tubing pressure, then pressure the annulus to 200 psi and hold for 2
minutes, again to help the buttons retract. If pressuring the annulus is not possible, it may be necessary to work the
packer up and down slowly to help the buttons retract.
Reversing Out
After squeezing or after setting sand plugs, when possible, reverse out. This helps to flush debris from the packer
and works to insure that the packer will pull freely after job completion.
To Reset
The TST-2 can be set and released multiple times in the same trip to test casing or spot fluids at different locations.
The packer may be pulled up the hole and reset simply by slacking off weight. If it is to be run deeper into the well,
the packer will have to be picked up a few feet and rotated ¾ turn left, at the packer, back to the running position.

CALCULATING HYDRAULIC FORCES ON THE PACKER

Note: Pressures are in pounds per square inch (lbs/in2 or psi). Forces are in pounds (lbs.).
Areas are in square inches (in2). Linear dimensions are all in inches (in).
Tubing Pressure
Mandrel. Tubing pressure (pressure below the packer) will provide an upward force equal to the tubing pressure
times the difference between the bypass seal ID area and the tubing ID area.
Balance Piston. Tubing pressure (pressure below the packer) will provide a downward force equal to the tubing
pressure minus the annular pressure times the effected area of the piston. [Net Balance Piston Area X (Tubing
pressure – Annular pressure)]
Annular Pressure
Bypass Seal. Annular pressure acts on the differential
area between the bypass seal sub and the OD area of
the tubing. The force is equal to the annular pressure
times the differential area. The force is downward if
the OD of the bypass seal sub is greater than the
tubing OD. The force is upward if the OD of the
bypass seal sub is less than the tubing OD.
Net Force
Net Force is calculated by adding all of the
downward forces (including the weight set on the
packer) and subtracting all of the upward forces. The
resulting net force must at least the minimum amount
required to set the packer. See minimum set-down
weight chart on Page 4.
Note: Perform all calculations considering
the worst possible conditions (i.e. maximum
treating pressures). Refer to hydraulic data
included in this document.

When Tubing Pressure is Greater Than Annulus Pressure at the Tool:

Caution: Tubing movement calculation may be necessary to fully understand the forces on the packer and
should be run prior to the job.
1. Multiply the change in the tubing pressure at the tool by Column 1.
L1 = ∆P x Tubing Area Col. 1
2. Multiply the change in annulus pressure at the tool by Column 2.

L2 = ∆P1 x Annulus Area Col. 2
If the total of these forces is tending to open the unloader (negative), and is greater than the original
pack-off weight, additional set-down weight is required. This additional weight is equal to the
difference between the force tending to open the unloader and required pack-off weight.
3. Multiply the tubing pressure by Column 3.
L3 = ∆P x Tubing ID Area Col. 3
Since the figure in Column 3 is always negative, the resulting force is tending to open the unloader
by lifting the tubing at the surface. If by adding all three forces, the result is a force tending to open
the unloader and is greater than the maximum hook-load of the tubing before setting the tool, the
tubing will raise and the unloader will be opened. Since the hook-load is the limiting factor, high
pressures at relatively shallow depths might be prohibitive.
If L1 + L2 + L3<0 lb., tends to open the unloader valve. Add this to required set-down weight.
If L1 + L2 + L3>0 lb., tends to keep the unloader valve closed.
4. If the tubing is secured at the surface by a X-mas tree or such, the lifting force calculated in step 3 can be
disregarded.
Example Problem 1
Well Properties
10-3/4 51 ppf casing
5” – 19.50ppf drill pipe
9.0 lb/gal brine water – casing is full
∆P = tubing pressure = 3000 psi at tool
∆P1 = annulus pressure = 0 psi at tool
Set-down weight = 50,000 lb.

1. Multiply the change in the tubing pressure at the tool by Column 1.

L1 = ∆P x Tubing Area Col. 1 = 3000 psi x 12.940 sq. in. = 38,820 lb.
2. Multiply the change in annulus pressure at the tool by Column 2.

L2 = ∆P1 x Annulus Area Col. 2 = 0 psi x (-17.314) sq. in. = 0 lb.
L1 + L2 = 38,820 + 0 = 38,820 lb.>0 lb. (tends to keep unloader valve closed)
3. Multiply the tubing pressure by Column 3. (Tubing not secured at surface)

L3 = ∆P x Tubing ID Area Col. 3 = 3000 psi x (-14.36) = -43,080 lb.
4. Adding the forces,

L1 + L2 + L3 = (38,820 + 0 + -43,080) lb. = -4,260 lb., will tend to open the unloader seal.
Therefore, an additional 4260 lbs is needed for a total of 54,260 to set the tool, and keep the unloader seal closed.
When Annulus Pressure is Greater than Tubing Pressure at the Tool:

1. Multiply the change in tubing pressure by Column 4.
2. 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 pack-off 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 pack-off weight.
L3 = ∆P x Tubing ID Area Col. 3
Since the figure in Column is always negative, the resulting force is tending to open the unloader by lifting the
tubing at the surface. If by adding all three forces, the result is a force tending to open the unloader and is greater
than the maximum hook-load of the tubing before setting the tool, the tubing will raise and the unloader will be
opened. Since the hook-load is the limiting factor, high pressures at relatively shallow depths might be
prohibitive.
Example Problem 2
Same example as above, except now ∆P= 0 psi. and ∆P1 = 3000 psi.
L1 = ∆P x Tubing Area Col. 4 = 0 psi. x (.174 sq. in.) = 0 lbs.
L2 = ∆P1 x Annulus Area Col. 5 = 3000 psi x –5.449 sq. in. = -16,347 lb.
L1 + L2 = 0 + (-16,347) = -16,347<0 (tends to open unloader valve).


L3 = ∆P x Tubing ID Area Col. 3 = 0 psi x (-14.36 sq. in.) = 0 lb.
In our case, L1 + L2 + L3 = (0 + (-16,347) + 0) lb. = -16,347 lb., will tend to open the unloader valve.
Therefore, a minimum of 50,000 lb. + 16,347 lb. = 66,347 lb. in order to set the tool and keep the unloader seal
closed.
When Annulus Pressure is Greater than Tubing Pressure at the Tool Due to Swabbing the
Tubing:
If the result is a force tending to open the unloader, and is greater than the original pack-off 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 pack-off weight.
If L1 + L2 < 0, the unloader valve tends to open.
If L1 + L2 >0, the unloader valve tends to stay closed
Be sure to consult slack-off charts to determine whether the requisite amount of pipe weight can be put on the
tool. If slack-off weight is not sufficient, then drill collars may have to be used to put sufficient weight on the
tool.
Consult tubing movement simulation to insure that treating (tubing ballooning, thermal movement, etc.) does not
remove too much of the initial pipe weight.
Example Problem 3
Same example as above, except now ∆P= 0 psi. and ∆P1 = 3000 psi. due to swab-off.
L1 = ∆P x Tubing Area Col. 6 = 0 psi x .174 sq. in. = 0 lb.
L2 = ∆P1 x Annulus Area Col. 7 = 3000 psi x –5.449 sq. in. = -16,347.
In this case, L1 + L2 = 0 lb. + (-16,347) = -16,347 lb., will tend to open the unloader.
Therefore an additional 16,347 lbs will need to be added to the setdown weight for a total of 66,347 lbs to set the
packer, and keep the unloader seal closed.
