- 11. Eng. El SayedAmer Page 53 06 Production packer Permanent ▪ Run or set on wireline or tubing ▪ Selection depends on rig cost, service company and wellbore conditions ▪ Set hydraulically by – Pressure for tubing or drill pipe set – Firing an explosion for E-Line set ▪ Retrieved by milling
- 12. Eng. El SayedAmer Page 54 06 Production packer Permanent Characteristics ▪ Permanently set ▪ Less costly; very low components ▪ Highest pressure rating, up to 15,000 psi ▪ High temperature rating, up to 500 F ▪ Most frequently used world wide
- 13. Eng. El SayedAmer Page 55 06 Production packer Permanent Disadvantages ▪ Milling destroyed the packer for retrieving
- 14. Eng. El SayedAmer Page 56 06 Production packer Retrievable • RIH on wireline or tubing • Has bi-directional slips prevent debris from setting on bottom • Main advantage is retrieving without destroying • If stuck, should be milled. • Generally milling take longer time because of harder components
