The heart of the completion

Packers Overview

Packers Overview

Packers

At the heart of every


completion is at least one
packer. On that packer
depends the integrity,
longevity, and overall
success of the completion.

Packers support the weight of the tubing and


serve as the primary barrier between the
reservoir and surface. They play a critical role
in enabling all parts of the completion system.
Correct packer selection helps ensure that
there is no loss of well integrity or resulting loss
in production.
When you select a Schlumberger packer, you
receive a customized packer solution and our
project management teams commitment to
provide a best-in-class packer solution. As
with all Schlumberger products and services,
you benefit from the expertise, experience, and
support of Schlumberger staff and the quality
and integrity that we build into all our products.
Because of the packers central role in every
completion, the value of your assets will be
protected throughout the life of your well.

Schlumberger key advantages:

THE COMPLETION CORNERSTONE


Schlumberger packers and packer accessories have been developed through years of
research, testing, and application. Continuously
evolving to meet industry needs, our packers
are designed or configured to meet a full range
of pressure and temperature applications and,
often, specific wellbore or reservoir conditions.
Delivering new technologies

The Schlumberger Reservoir Completions


Technology Center in Texas specializes in
new product development, sustained engineering for commercial products, rapid response
project development to meet specific requirements, and reliability testing under simulated
downhole conditions. In this collaborative,
innovative environment, engineers with
extensive educational profiles, technical

training and expertise, and practical field experience deliver new packer technologies and
directly support products and services.
Testing beyond ISO

Schlumberger adheres strictly to ISO standard


14310, which defines packer design validation
grades. All new Schlumberger packers are
designed and tested in accordance with this
standard, and all existing packers are subject
to ongoing design reviews and testing. All
Schlumberger premium packers are qualified
as V0, the strongest validation overall, and
new packer designs must meet the minimum
standard of V3, the most stringent standard for
testing in liquid media.
In addition to the standard ISO testing,
Schlumberger packers undergo design
acceptance tests, including vibration and

Latest slip and cone technology,


for best-in-class packer load ratings
and retrievability
Independent slip and element
setting mechanisms
Positioning of the element above

shock testing, standard flow-by testing, mill-up


verification testing, and functional testing to
failure. All X-series elements are 100% volumetrically scanned. Test records are available
on request.
Defining performance parameters

Matching the best-performing packer with a


well requires an understanding of the environment and its potential problems, along with the
effects of differential pressure on tensile and
compressive loading. Schlumberger completion engineers predict a packers performance
on the basis of those effects using computer
modeling, numerical simulation, and laboratory and field testing. A thorough analysis of
the results defines the packers safe operating
range and helps identify the most appropriate
packer for the well.

XHP packer

XMP MultiPort packer

The XHP premium packer, hydraulically


set and retrievable, is used in vertical
and deviated wells. The standard
version is suitable for high-pressure,
high-temperature environments but
also qualified for low-temperature use
in subsea injection wells. Designed to
connect directly to well tubing, the XHP
is installed with the completion tubing
and set by applying pressure against
a plug set in a nipple or a closed inline
valve below the packer. Retrieval is by
intervention with a through-tubing cutting tool and upward pull on the tubing.

The XMP MultiPort* packer, hydraulically set and retrievable, is designed


for intelligent completions. It features
a multiple-bypass configuration for
hydraulic control lines or electric conduit applications. The XMP is installed
with the completion tubing and set by
applying pressure against a plug set in
a nipple or a closed inline valve below
the packer. Retrieval is by intervention
with a through-tubing cutting tool and
upward pull on the tubing.

MRP packer

QUANTUM MAX packer

NIS packer

HSP-1 packer

The MRP packer is hydraulically


set and retrievable. It is used in
vertical and deviated wellbores
and in applications in which
single or multiple packers are
set after the wellhead has been
installed. The MRP is installed
with the completion tubing and
set by applying pressure to the
tubing. Retrieval is by means of a
straight upward pull on the tubing.

The QUANTUM MAX* packer


is a rugged, high-performance,
retrievable gravel-pack packer
that is deployed on drillpipe and
hydraulically set. It is the core
component of high-pressure, hightemperature gravel-pack systems
and is suitable for high-pressure,
high-volume fracturing and gravelpack treatments. The QUANTUM
MAX design optimizes all critical
performance parameters. This
packer is set by applying pressure
to the setting tool used for deployment. Retrieval is by means of an
intervention tool.

The nonintervention-set (NIS),


hydrostatically set permanent
packer is positioned without wireline or coiled tubing intervention.
It is set in a closed system such
as a cased well before perforating.
A contingency option whereby the
packer can be set conventionally
means that a plug is set below the
packer on slickline and pressure
is applied. The NIS packer is
typically selected for applications
for which reducing rig time and
intervention costs is critical.

The HSP-1 series single-string


packers are hydraulically set,
permanent, millable packers.
Their design incorporates two
full-circumference slips supported
by two opposing tapered cones
with a sealing element assembly
positioned between. The lower
slip is set before the sealing element assembly to eliminate tubing
movement and to centralize the
packer in the casing before the
element fully packs off against
the casing wall.

Packer Success in the North Sea

QUANTUM MAX PACKER HELPS PREVENT FORMATION DAMAGE


In its North Sea completions, an operator routinely included a packer
that could be set on wireline and retrieved using an intervention tool.
But because the cycle pressure for formation isolation valves was
higher than the plugged rating for the packer, the risk of formation
damage and leakage became a concern when the well was displaced
with a low-density fluid. The operator needed to minimize these risks
when replacing the drilling fluid.

NIS PACKERS ELIMINATE SLICKLINE RUNS


An operator had successfully used millable production packers in its
North Sea wells without installation or performance problems. During
the completion operations, however, it was necessary to run a plug to
set the packer, which required two additional, costly slickline runs
one to run the plug to set the packer and a second to remove the plug
after the packer was set. The operator asked Schlumberger for packers
that would help reduce rig time and costs.

Schlumberger engineers developed the QUANTUM MAX packer system


with the FIV* formation isolation valve to enable wellbore fluid changeout with minimal intervention. The QUANTUM MAX packers barrel-type
slips resulted in less stress on the casing, and the number of potential
leak points was reduced because there were fewer active components.
With only two O-rings, the packer greatly reduced the potential for leaks.

The NIS permanent packer was selected. Because NIS packers are
hydrostatically set without wireline or coiled tubing intervention, they
eliminate the need to run a slickline. This feature allows the NIS packer
to decrease overall rig costs, and since no intervention is required,
they are well suited for extended-reach and deep wells. The packers
are also easily adapted to specific completion designs and operations
because no additional hardware is required.

When used with the FIV valve, the QUANTUM MAX packer enabled
fluid change-out with minimal intervention and reduced formation risks.
This solution helped the operator achieve targeted production rates
because the valve and packer system prevented reservoir contact by
the weighted completion fluids. The greater capabilities offered by the
QUANTUM MAX packer, coupled with increased flexibility in completion designs, have allowed operators to place QUANTUM MAX packers
in Trinidad, Brazil, Malaysia, Angola, and Nigeria completions.

Packers Catalog

The packers eliminated the two slickline runs required by the previous
packer. To date, the operator has installed seven NIS packers. The
packers have saved approximately 4 hours of rig time for each completion installation and reduced well intervention costs and risks. Based
on these successes, the operator intends to use NIS packers for its
other North Sea applications.

TESTING CONFIRMS HSP PACKER DESIGN VALIDATIONS


Operators of platforms and subsea wells in the North Sea needed to
validate that their packers met strict ISO and NORSOK requirements.
The operators also wanted a local inventory of packers readily accessible during completion operations and quick access to experts on
operating and installing these products.
Schlumberger HSP permanent millable production packers were
developed to meet operators needs for tubing pressure settings with
the required load and temperature ratings. They are validated to the
most stringent ISO 14310 design validation: V0, in which no gas leakage
is allowed during each defined pressure test. They are used in a variety
of applications, including high H2S and CO2 exposure. The HSP packer
incorporates a 360, one-piece, opposing-slip design. The lower and
upper slips are set independently, eliminating tubing movement. ISO
V0 validation of the HSP design confirmed that this packer met the
strictest validation requirements.

The HSP series was developed especially for this geographical area,
and a local inventory is maintained to respond quickly to operators
requests and to provide flexibility in completion planning activities.
Since 1993, the 449 HSP packers installed in North Sea fields have
operated without issue. The continued success in this region, along
with local Schlumberger expertise, has resulted in the HSP series becoming the packer most used by operators in the Norwegian North Sea.

ISO 14310 V3-qualified packer

The QUANTUM* MultiPort* (QMP)


packer is a hydraulically set retrievable packer particularly suited for
bypass applications.
It is used as the upper packer in stacked configurations in completions
with surface-controlled subsurface flow-control valves and tubingmounted reservoir monitoring equipment.
This packer is designed to allow onsite feed-through and connection
of electric and hydraulic conduits. Testing of control-line fittings on
the packer is accomplished after feed-through. This feature greatly
simplifies rig operations and reduces control line terminations. The
packer features a one-piece mandrel design with an eccentric flow
bore. Bypass lines are fixed relative to the mandrel, eliminating relative
movement during releasing. This design facilitates release regardless
of the prevailing tubing load condition, i.e., tension or compression at the
packer. The QMP packer allows simultaneous setting of multiple packers
and is capable of simultaneous testing of bypass seals on the rig floor.
The hydraulically set QMP packer features twin setting pistons that fully
energize the sealing elements prior to anchoring the slips.
Retrieval of the QMP packer is accomplished by means of a through-tubing
intervention tool and subsequent upward pull on the tubing.
QMP packers are available for a variety of service applications, including
H2S and CO2 environments.
The QMP packer is designed and tested in accordance with ISO 14310
grade V3.

MRP Modular Retrievable Packer


The modular retrievable packer (MRP) is a hydraulically set, straight-pull, shear-release retrievable packer.
APPLICATIONS

Single-string completions

Zonal isolation

Vertical, deviated, or
horizontal wellbores

BENEFITS

Simplified operations reduce


rig costs.
Eliminates tubing movement
during installation.
Prevents debris buildup
above slips.
Facilitates circulating out
debris before retrieval.

It is used in vertical and deviated wellbores or in applications in which


single or multiple packers are set after the wellhead has been installed.
A modular shell and body design for low to medium pressure differentials allows configuration as a single-string production packer. Its
compact, modular design makes the MRP an economical choice for
production applications.
The MRP is installed with the completion tubing and is set by applying pressure to the tubing. Retrieval of the MRP is accomplished
with a straight upward pull on the tubing. Once the tension on the
tubing string exceeds the shear value of the release pins, the slips
disengage the casing, and the element relaxes. Set at the factory
to a standard value, the packer shear-release mechanism can be
adjusted in the field just before installation.
This advanced packer is designed and tested in accordance with
ISO 14310 grade V3.

MRP Modular Retrievable Packer


for ESP Completions
The modular retrievable packer for electrical submersible pump (MRP-ESP) completions is a hydraulically set,
straight-pull, shear-release, dual-bore retrievable packer.
APPLICATIONS

ESP completions

Zonal isolation

Vertical, deviated,
or horizontal wellbores

BENEFITS

Simplified operations reduce


rig costs.
Design eliminates tubing
movement during installation.
Design prevents debris
buildup above slips.
Design facilitates circulating
out debris before retrieval.
Positive casing grip
secures packer.

It is used in vertical and deviated wells with ESP completions. Additional parallel ports are available and may be configured for chemical injection, gas vents, and ESP accessories. This packer is also
designed to allow onsite feed-through and connection of electric or
hydraulic conduits. Its compact, modular design makes the MRP-ESP
packer an economical choice for production applications with ESPs
or for gas injection.
The MRP-ESP is installed with the completion tubing and is set by
applying pressure to the tubing. Retrieval of the MRP-ESP is accomplished with a straight upward pull on the tubing. Once the tension
on the tubing string exceeds the shear value of the release pins, the
slips disengage the casing, and the element relaxes. Set at the factory to a standard value, the packer shear-release mechanism can
be adjusted in the field just before installation.
The MRP-ESP is designed and tested in accordance with ISO 14310
grade V3.

FEATURES

Hydro-test capability of feedthrough connections


Ability to pressure test the
system at the surface

Hydro-6 Production Packer


The Hydro-6* retrievable packer is a compact, reliable,
single-string, hydraulic-set, retrievable packer.
APPLICATIONS

Deviated wells
Multiple-zone, multiple-packer
completions

BENEFITS

Designed for quick, reliable


installation in straight or highly
deviated wells.
Easier and safer retrieval
provided by built-in equalizing
and circulating system.

FEATURES

Easy release with a fully


adjustable, straight-pickup
shear mechanism

Short, compact design

Field-proven design

It is ideal for use in deviated wells, multiple-packer completions,


and applications where the packer is to be set after the wellhead
is installed. Because no mandrel movement occurs during setting,
the Hydro-6 packer may also be used in multiple-packer completions
where all packers are set simultaneously.
Set with a pressure differential, the Hydro-6 packer has an easily
adjustable setting-pressure feature and a bidirectional mechanical
slip system. The packer features a unique design that allows debris to
be circulated from above the packer when releasing. A three-piece,
dual-durometer element system and a built-in equalizing and circulating system ensure reduced risk and easy release.
No tubing movement is required to set the packer. After the packer
is set, the tubing can be landed in either compression or neutral
condition. The setting force is mechanically locked into the sealing elements with a positive ratchet-lock mechanism. The Hydro-6 retrievable
packer is released with and upward pull exceeding the rating of the
shear release screws. Optionally, the Hydro-6 packer is available with
a rotation release mechanism.

Hydro-8 Production Packer


The Hydro-8* retrievable production packer is a compact,
large-bore, hydrostatically set, double-grip packer.
APPLICATIONS

Bottom packer in multiplezone dual completions


Single-zone completions

BENEFITS

Quick and reliable installation


in highly deviated wells
Suitable for highly deviated
wells and multiple-packer
completions

FEATURES

Packer features a fully


adjustable, straight-pickup,
shear-release system.
Built-in equalizing and
circulating system ensures
increased safety and easy
retrieval.

Design is compact.

Design is field proven.

It is used in a variety of applications, including single-zone isolation,


multiple-string hookups, selective multiple-zone production, and
stimulation. The Hydro-8 packer features a mechanical, bidirectional
slip system to anchor the packer and resist upward and downward
tubing movement. It also has a built-in internal bypass system that
allows formation pressure to equalize before the slip is fully released.
The Hydro-8 packer is set by applying tubing pressure, which acts
on the packers setting piston area, shears the setting screws, and
activates the packer-setting mechanism. The setting-mechanism
trigger pressure is adjusted by adding or removing easily accessible
shear screws. The packers hydrostatic chamber allows the packer
to be successfully set at lower pump pressures.
Once the packer is fully set, the pack-off force is mechanically
locked into the slips and sealing element with a positive lock-ratchet
mechanism. This allows the tubing to be landed in either compression
or neutral condition.
The Hydro-8 packer does not require tubing manipulation during setting
and can be set after the wellhead has been installed. Packer release is
accomplished by a simple upward pull on the tubing string. Unlike many
hydrostatic packers, the Hydro-8 packer can be adjusted or redressed
in the field by onsite personnel. This packer also features an optional
slickline-intervention, selective-set feature with a choice of upward or
downward shift.

Hydro-12 Hydraulic-Set
Dual-String Packer
APPLICATIONS

Vertical, deviated, or horizontal


wellbores
Dual production strings

BENEFITS

Packer may be set after the


wellhead is installed.
Elimination of mandrel movement during setting facilitates
the use of this packer in
electrical submersible pump
installations.
Rig time is saved by the
simultaneous running of
tubing strings.

FEATURES

Can be set by the short or


long string.
No tubing manipulation is
required to set the packer.
No mandrel movement
occurs during setting.
Simultaneous mandrel
movement occurs while the
packer is being released.
One-piece mandrel is
designed with premium
connections.

The Hydro-12* hydraulic-set dualstring, double-grip, retrievable


production packer is designed to
be set from either the long or the
short string.
The packer can be run in stacked dual installations or above almost
any type of single-string packer. The unique design allows the packer
to be set without tubing manipulation, and both mandrels are free to
rotate for ease of makeup. In addition, the short string does not move
during setting, which simplifies tubing space out. Orientation of the
string is performed by using an optional locking mechanism.
The packer is set by plugging the tubing below the setting ports in the
packer and applying pressure to the setting string. Common plugging
devices include pump-out plugs, pressure trip subs, and blanking
plugs. The bidirectional slips anchor the packer in the casing, keeping the packer from moving upward or downward in response to
differential pressure or tubing movement. This packer is suitable for
applications requiring installation of the wellhead before packer
setting because no tubing manipulation or movement is required.
The Hydro-12 packer is released by straight upward pull on either
the short or the long string or simultaneously on both strings until the
packers primary shear pin value is exceeded. When the packer is
released, the primary and secondary mandrel movements are simultaneous. This feature permits the use of electrical submersible pumps.

Setting is not affected by tubing weight below the packer.


Both mandrels are free
to rotate.
May be run with dual strings
simultaneously.
Tubing may be pulled without
disturbing the packer.
Mechanical locks prevent
premature setting.

Omegamatic Long-Stroke Packer


This long-stroke packer is a fullbore, high-performance, double-grip compression-set packer.
APPLICATIONS

Completions with restricted


or no tubing rotation
Challenging environments
Squeeze cementing, acidizing,
formation fracturing, or
testing operations

BENEFITS

Operational efficiency
reduces rig time.
Packer design allows setting
without rotation for reliable
operations in deviated wells.

FEATURES

Reliable three-piece, dualdurometer sealing element


and a large internal bypass
result in dependable, troublefree operation.
A reversing piston keeps
the bypass closed at high
tubing pressures.

It is used for squeeze cementing, acidizing, formation fracturing,


or testing. Omegamatic* long-stroke packers are suitable for any
application where tubing rotation is restricted or not possible.
Based on the field-proven Omegamatic packer design, long-stroke
Omegamatic packers hold pressure from above and below the packer. They feature piston-type hold-down buttons, a three-piece sealing
element, and a large internal bypass for reliable and trouble-free
performance. Long-stroke packers have a reversing piston to keep
the bypass closed at high tubing pressures, and they are available
with standard or optional carbide insert slips and hold-down buttons.
The packers lower slips are set against a lower cone and drag block
housing, and the hold-down buttons are set by hydraulic actuation when
pressure below the packer exceeds pressure above the packer.
Long-stroke packers utilize a continuous jay with an extended stroke
and only require up or down reciprocation of the tubing to set and
release the packer. This allows the packer to be set and released to
the retrieving position without tubing rotation. The extended stroke
also allows the packer to be released, circulated around, and reset
in the same position without leaving the setting position of the jay.
Omegamatic long-stroke packers are available in various casing sizes
and with or without hold-down buttons.

Design is field proven.

SOT-1 Retrievable
Mechanical-Set Packer
The SOT-1 retrievable packer is a compact,
cost-effective, mechanically set packer.
APPLICATIONS

Production completions

Well-treating operations

BENEFITS

Design provides a fieldadjustable secondary


rotational release.
Tubing may be left in tension,
compression, or neutral.
Design provides pressure
equalization before unsetting
the slips.

FEATURES

Simple setting and releasing


procedure
Case-hardened friction blocks
with INCONEL springs

Fullbore mandrel

Secondary rotational release

Field-proven design

Once set, the SOT-1 retrievable packer will remain set and packed
off regardless of tubing forces and pressure differentials. This packer
can be used in zone isolation, production, or injection applications.
The simplicity and rugged design of this packer yield an extremely
reliable free-standing packer.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The SOT-1 packer design allows the packer to be run to depth, set
with minimal weight, then fully packed off with tubing tension. These
design features allow the SOT-1 to be run at much shallower depths
than most compression-set, double-grip packers. This packer also
features a built-in fluid bypass system for equalizing pressure across
the sealing element during the release procedure.
The packer is run to setting depth and, with the last movement
upward, right-hand torque is applied to the tubing. While right-hand
torque is applied, the tubing is lowered until the weight indicator
shows a reduction in tubing weight. Torque is then released, and the
required amount of tubing weight is added to the packer. An upstrain
is then placed on the tubing, and the recommended tension is applied
to fully set the slips and pack off the sealing element.
After the setting procedure has been completed, the tubing string
may be landed in tension, compression, or neutral condition.
The SOT-1 packer is released with 500- to 3,000-lb [228- to 1,360-kg]
weight on the packer while applying right-hand torque. Picking up
the tubing opens the fluid bypass and equalizes pressure across the
sealing element. Continued upward pulling releases the slips, fully
relaxes the elements, and locks the SOT-1 in the running position.
The packer can be retrieved or moved up and down the hole, and
reset if required.
The SOT-1 features a secondary rotational-release option. This
method is activated by placing the tubing in neutral at the packer and
applying right-hand torque to shear the brass shear screws in the jay
pin ring. After the screws have been sheared, rotating the tubing 6
to 10 turns at the packer will release the jay pin ring from the packer
mandrel. Continued upward movement will fully release the packer.

SA-3 Retrievable Tension Packer


The SA-3 retrievable tension packer is a compact,
cost-effective retrievable tension-set packer.
APPLICATIONS

Production completions

Well-treating operations

BENEFITS

Design provides a fieldadjustable secondary


rotational release.
Tubing may be left in
tension, compression,
or neutral condition.
Design provides pressure
equalization before unsetting
the slips.

FEATURES

Simple setting and releasing


procedure
Case-hardened friction
blocks with INCONEL springs

Fullbore mandrel

Secondary rotational release

Field-proven design

This packer is generally used in injection applications or where


thermal shrinkage of the tubing is expected, such as treating
operations. Since the SA-3 is a tension-set packer, it is also ideally
suited for shallow wells where tubing pressure is likely to exceed
annulus pressure.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The SA-3 packer is run to setting depth, making the last tubing
movement downward. Right-hand torque is applied to the tubing.
While right-hand torque is applied, the tubing is picked up and the
appropriate amount of tension is applied to the packer.
The SA-3 packer is released by applying left-hand torque to the tubing
while lowering the tubing. This operation will position the packer in
the running position, and the SA-3 packer can either be retrieved or
moved and reset.
The SA-3 packer incorporates an adjustable shear release. Pulling
a predetermined amount of tension will shear a set of screws to
release the compression on the sealing element and slips so the
packer can be retrieved. If required, the packer may be converted to
a nonshear version.

NIS Nonintervention
Hydrostatic-Set Permanent Packer
APPLICATIONS

Vertical, deviated,
or horizontal wellbores
Permanent production
or isolation packing
Nonperforated wellbores

BENEFITS

Decreases overall rig


costs due to shorter
installation times.
Eliminates plug installation in
high-angle wells.
Decreases rig time associated
with standard methods to
set packers.

FEATURES

No slickline or plug required


to set.
Atmospheric chamber
ensures maximum setting
force is applied to packer.
Design incorporates selfenergizing element system.

Nonintervention set (NIS) permanent packers are hydrostatically


set without the use of wireline
or coiled tubing intervention.
This packer is designed to be set in a closed system, such as a cased
well before perforating. Another popular option is an open completion (openhole lateral or perforated casing) isolated by a formation
isolation valve.
To prevent premature setting of the packer, rupture discs are used to
isolate the setting chamber. Each NIS packer is internally tested with
nitrogen to ensure that the hydrostatic chamber is leak-free and will
activate the packer at the proper depth. The NIS packer has a contingency set option whereby the packer can be set by conventional
means; i.e., a plug is set below the packer on slickline and pressure is
applied to the packer setting chamber through the tubing.
This packer is an ideal candidate to reduce expensive rig time for
extended-reach or deep wells.
The NIS packer is designed and tested in accordance with ISO 14310
V0 standards.

Can be set with standard


methods as a backup.
Designed with autoset feature
should the tubing string drop.
Packer is ISO 14310
V0 qualified.

HSP-1 Hydraulic-Set
Permanent Packer
The HSP-1 series single-string packers are permanent,
hydraulically set, millable production packers.
APPLICATIONS

Vertical, deviated,
or horizontal wellbores
Permanent production
or isolation packer
High-temperature, highpressure hostile environments

BENEFITS

Positive set of slips and


element are provided by
twin-piston design.
Packer may be set on
workstring to facilitate
completion options.

FEATURES

The field-proven HSP-1 packer has been used many years in high-risk,
harsh-environment wells. When made up to the tubing, the packer
forms part of the tubing string.
This packer design incorporates two full-circumference slips
supported by two opposing tapered cones with a sealing element
assembly positioned between them. The slips and sealing element
assembly are sequentially set and held in position by a positive lock
mechanical ratchet. The lower slip is set before the sealing element
assembly to eliminate tubing movement and centralize the packer in
the casing before the element fully packs off against the casing wall.
The slips are designed to split into multiple segments upon setting
and yield a full 360 grip on the casing.
The high-performance sealing element features metallic antiextrusion
rings positioned above and below the sealing element. These antiextrusion rings provide a positive metal-to-metal interference fit with
the casing to prevent seal extrusion and provide a reliable packoff.

Incorporates a 360, onepiece, opposing-slip design.

HSP-1 series packers are available for a variety of service applications,


including high H2S and CO2 exposure.

Designed for full tubing bore


through packer and stinger.

The HSP-1 packer is designed and tested in accordance with


ISO 14310 V0 standards.

Latching head has reduced OD.


Wellhead can be installed
before the packer is set.
Design features twinpiston setting.
Can be converted to a
temporary bridge plug.
Setting mechanism sets
lower slips and upper slips
independently to eliminate
tubing movement.
ISO 14310 V0-qualified packer.

Prevention of seal movement

The latch assembly positions the seal units in the polished bore of
the packer at the bottom of the available stroke. With a slight amount
of set-down weight, the anchor latch will snap into the top thread of
the packer mandrel or polished bore receptacle. This feature allows
an upward pull to be applied to the tubing string to positively confirm
proper location and operation.
To release the anchor latch, an upward pull of 1,000 lbf [454 kg] at
the latch, combined with 12 complete right-hand turns of the tubing
at the latch, releases the anchor. The releasing mechanism of the
anchor makes it ideal for completions were tubing movement is not
desirable.
Standard QUANTUM anchor latch assemblies are manufactured
from materials that comply with NACE MR0175 standards for sulfide
stress cracking-resistant metallic materials and fitted with nitrile
bonded seals. Viton, Aflas, and chevron seals are available for
hostile conditions, such as high-temperature, high-pressure, and

QUANTUM Shear-Type
Anchor Latch
The QUANTUM* shear-type anchor latch is used in
single- or multiple-zone installations to provide a
positive surface indication that the seal assembly is
correctly positioned in the polished bore receptacle
(PBR) and to eliminate production seal movement
under normal operating conditions.
APPLICATIONS

Single- or multiple-zone
completions
Intelligent completions

BENEFITS

Design provides positive


indication of proper seal
location in the sealbore.
Operations are simplified and
rig time is saved.
Reliability is enhanced.

FEATURES

Standard bonded seals are


debris tolerant.

The shear-type anchor latch is run with a production seal assembly


and is connected to the packer or PBR in the same manner as a
standard anchor latch. Once connected to the packer, this latch does
not allow seal movement during normal changes in temperature and
pressure. If stresses exceed a predetermined value, a shear ring
parts, allowing the latch assembly to release and the seals to move.
Retrieval of the shear-type anchor latch is accomplished with a
straight upward pull on the tubing in excess of the release mechanisms shear ring value. The ring shears and releases the anchors
latch mechanism. This releasing mechanism is ideal for completions
were tubing rotation is prohibited. The QUANTUM shear-type anchor
latches are manufactured from materials that comply with NACE
MR0175 standards for sulfide stress cracking-resistant metallic and
are fitted with nitrile bonded seals. Viton, Aflas, and chevron seals
are available on request for hostile conditions such as high-pressure,
high-temperature, and H2S environments.

Seal movement is prevented.


Setting and release procedures
are easy.
Materials comply with NACE
MR0175 standards.
Higher-performance seals
are available for hostile
environments.

QUANTUM One-Trip Seal Latch


QUANTUM* one-trip seal latch (OTSL) allows production seals to be latched into the gravel pack packer or
production packer and the floating seals to be landed
in an appropriate length sealbore above the packer.
APPLICATIONS

Completions in which extreme


tubing movement is anticipated
Sand-control completions
with production packer above
gravel-pack packer and lightweight packer fluid

BENEFITS

Enhanced wellbore reliability


and safety
Fewer tubing trips
Streamlined completion
operations
Reduced rig time

FEATURES

Protected seals

Adjustable shear value

Compatible with all


Schlumberger sand-control
packers

This one-trip, sealing system is recommended for applications where


extreme dynamic seal movement is anticipated. It is assembled and
run on the production tubing in completions where the production
packer is already installed downhole.
The length of the sealbore or polished bore receptacle (PBR) is
selected so that seals never leave the sealing bore. Standard PBR
lengths are 10, 15, and 20 ft [3.0, 4.6, and 6.1 m], but most special
lengths can be supplied. Seals are spaced out in accordance with
tubing movement design criteria. During the running procedure, the
OTSL attaches the seal assembly to the sealbore unit with a special
running collet. After the PBR is anchored in the packer, the running
collet is pulled upward, and the seal assembly is spaced out to the
proper location. This activity is performed when running the production
tubing. No further trips in the well are required.
The OTSL does not trap atmospheric pressure while running in the
well. The complete OTSL system is made up of a snap latch, a selfaligning guide shoe, a seal assembly, a sealbore assembly, and the
OTSL lift coupling.
QUANTUM one-trip seal latches are manufactured from materials
that comply with NACE MR0175 standards for sulfide stress crackingresistant metallic materials.

HSP-1 Stinger Assemblies


HSP-1 packer stingers provide a means of separating the
tubing string at the packer.

Choice of latching type

The stinger is retrieved by either straight pickup or rotation with straight


pickup. The seals and O-rings on the packer can be replaced, and the
stinger may be reinstalled in the HSP-1 stingers seal receptacle upon
completion of a well workover. The HSP-1 is available in three configurations: snap in/rotate out, snap in/snap out, and bullnose.

Field convertible to
different versions

SNAP IN/ROTATE OUT

APPLICATION

Production wells

BENEFITS

Full tubing bore design

FEATURES

Three release options


Choice of metallurgies
and elastomers

The snap-in/rotate-out version is the preferred configuration to run the


packer. This version eliminates the possibility of pumping the stinger off
the packer when setting with hydraulic pressure. To install this stinger,
set downweight on the stinger to snap the latch collet into the packer.
To remove it, apply approximately 1,000 lbf [454 kg] of tension to the
tubing at the packer while rotating the tubing to the right. The packer
stinger will release from the packer after about four turns of
the tubing.
SNAP IN/SNAP OUT

To install the snap-in/snap-out stinger set downweight on the stinger


to snap the latch collet into the packer. To release the stinger from
the packer, pick up approximately 10,000 lbf [4,535.1 kg] of tension
over string weight. This tension force will snap the latch collet out of
the packer.
BULLNOSE

The bullnose stinger does not utilize any latching mechanism, but
it must overcome seal drag to install or remove it from the packer.
Because of piston effect from tubing-to-casing pressure differential,
ample tubing weight must be applied to prevent the stinger from being
pumped out of the packer during injection or production procedures.
HSP-1 series stingers are available for a variety of service applications,
including high H2S and CO2 exposure. These stingers can also be
trimmed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

QUANTUM Long-String
Seal Assembly
The QUANTUM* long-string seal assembly (LSSA) is
part of a seal system designed to be used on multiplezone wells.
APPLICATIONS

Multiple-zone completions

Intelligent completions

BENEFITS

Design provides an effective,


leak-proof seal between
packers and production tubing.
Reliable operation provided
by integral polished bore.
Design provides optimal
space out of seals in
polished bores.

FEATURES

If the upper zone is to be a selective zone, an LSSA (and tubing with


appropriate internal profile nipples), flow couplings, blast joints, and
a sliding sleeve are assembled below the upper packer. The string
is spaced out, so when the seals in the upper packer are landed,
the LSSA is sealed in the bore of the lower-zone multiseal assembly
(LZMSA) in the lower packer.
In a dual completion, the long string is assembled with an LSSA on
the bottom to seal in the LZMSA inside the lower packer. The LSSA
assembly consists of a locator, usually a series of seal units, and a
guide shoe. The LSSA components are individually selected to meet
specific application requirements.
LSSA assemblies are manufactured from materials that comply
with NACE MR0175 standards for sulfide stress cracking-resistant
metallic materials.

QUANTUM Standard Seal Units


QUANTUM* standard seal units are components of
a QUANTUM seal assembly.
APPLICATION

Completion seals between


packers, packer and tubing,
polished bore receptacle,
and tubing

BENEFITS

Increased reliability
is achieved.
Reliable sealing is ensured
between packers and
production tubing.

FEATURES

Seals are debris- and


movement-tolerant.

These seal assemblies consist of an anchor latch, snap latch or


no-go locator, seal units, and a guide shoe. They provide an efficient
leak-proof seal between the packer and the production tubing. Standard seal units contain two bonded seals and a seal spacer.
The bonded seal is tolerant to damage from debris, tubing movement, and unloading of seals under pressure. Standard seal material
is nitrile, which is recommended for non-H2S environments. For H2S
environments, Viton seals can be specified. Aflas and chevrontype sealing systems are also available.
These seal units are available for the QUANTUM long-string seal
assembly, lower-zone multiseal assembly, and the standard production seal assembly. Special seal units are provided with locators and
anchors to ensure proper seal placement in the polished bore of the
QUANTUM packer.
Seal units are made from alloy steel, are heat treated for H2S service,
and are manufactured from materials that comply with NACE MR0175
standards for sulfide stress cracking-resistant metallic materials.

Bonded seals can be


unloaded under
differential pressure.
Seal units used with anchors
and locators optimize seal
placement in polished bores.
Materials comply with NACE
MR0175 standards.
Higher-performance seals are
available for H2S service.

FEATURES

Robust and durable


construction

QUANTUM mill-out extensions are used where floating seals are


required in completions using QUANTUM series retrievable sealbore
packers. Standard mill-out extensions are special tubing joints that
are used with the QL series packers.
Mill-out extensions provide a larger ID below the packer to protect
the seals. The larger ID is also useful when a packer milling and
retrieving tool is employed. The extension ID must be greater than the
packer ID to furnish an adequate shoulder for retrieving the packer
after the milling procedure is completed. Extensions are assembled
onto the lower end of QL series millable sealbore packers or QUANTUM
retrievable sealbore packers and run into the hole.
QUANTUM mill-out extensions are supplied in a box-by-box
configuration; standard mill-out extensions are supplied in pin-by-pin
configurations. Both are supplied in either 6- or 10-ft [1.8- or 3.0-m]
lengths and are manufactured from materials that comply with
NACE MR0175 standards for sulfide stress cracking-resistant

QUANTUM Long-Stroke
Safety Shear Sub
The QUANTUM* long-stroke safety shear sub may be
used in sand-control, production, and ESP completions.
It consists of an overshot connected to a slick joint
with shear pins.
APPLICATIONS

Sand control completions

Production completions

Stacked single-packer
completions
Dual or stacked dual
completions
ESP completions

BENEFITS

Simple design facilitates


efficient workover operations.
Fishing neck has sufficient
length for overshot.

FEATURES

Field-adjustable shear values

Rotationally locked

Sizes range from 5-in to


1034-in casing

It consists of an overshot connected to a slick joint with shear pins. In


the event the completion assembly must be retrieved and the packer or
seal assembly does not release, the safety shear sub provides a weak
point in the tubing string. By parting at the shear pins, the completion
assembly above the shear joint can be retrieved and a work string
with drilling jars can be used to release and retrieve the packer or
seal assembly.
The sub is normally placed several joints above the packer or between
stacked packers in a multizone installation. This allows independent
removal of the packer assemblies. Once pulled apart, a slick sub with
a known internal and external diameter extends upward for a tubing
spear or overshot connection. The length of the slick sub is sufficient to
allow overshot engagement.
The QUANTUM safety shear sub is rotationally locked, and the
shear-out force can be varied up to 90,000 lbf [40,815 kg] using standard
brass screws. It easily converts to a connector sub for horizontal makeup by replacing the brass shear screws with hardened-steel screws.
The QUANTUM long-stroke safety shear sub is manufactured from
standard AISI 4140 low-alloy steel or premium materials for severe
service environments.

Tubing Tension Safety Joint


The tubing tension safety joint permits torque-through
capability and requires straight upward pull to release.
APPLICATION

Single and dual completions

BENEFITS

The release value can be adjusted by varying the number of shear


screws used. The sub will not shear when weight is set on it, and it
will transmit torque through an integral spline section.

Field adjustable.

DESCRIPTION

Wide variety of shear values.

Tubing tension safety joints are straight pickup, shear-release


tools commonly used in applications where rotation of the tubing is
impractical. This type of safety joint provides a means of separating
the production tubing above or below a packer if necessary. This is
a fully locked safety joint that allows full tubing torque to be applied
through the joint without loading the shear screws.

FEATURES

Integral high strength splines

Adjustable shear

Robust construction

Available in variety of materials


and elastomers

The tension-type safety joint is connected with a set of shear screws,


which are easily added or removed in the field to adjust the shear
value to match completion requirements.

CPST Pressure Setting Tool


The Schlumberger CPST pressure setting tool
provides a reliable method of setting bridge plugs,
cement retainers, and packers on wireline.
APPLICATION

Completions using
wireline-set packers

BENEFITS

Designed for long service life.


Requires no special alignment
or orientation during assembly
or disassembly.
Does not need to overcome
well pressure when setting.

FEATURES

Includes gas-over-hydraulic
setting operation
Does not require
secondary igniter
Uses spiral pins to prevent
tool from presetting while
running in the hole

A Schlumberger wireline adapter kit (WLAK) is used to connect the


CPST setting tool to the appropriate packer, plug, or retainer. The
CPST setting tool components feature a nitride surface treatment
to improve service life. Nitride surface treatment combines greater
surface hardness with a base metal durability and improves corrosion
resistance with no surface buildup.
OPERATION

The packer with adapter kit and setting tool are lowered into the well
to the desired packer setting depth. An electric pulse is transmitted
down the wireline string to the setting tool. This pulse ignites the
power charge in the pressure setting tool. A slow-burning powder
in the tool increases pressure in the setting tool to provide the force
necessary to set the packer. When the maximum packer setting force
is reached, a shear stud between the adapter kit and the setting tool
parts to release the adapter kit from the packer. After the adapter kit
has released from the packer, the setting assembly can be retrieved
from the well.

Model E Hydraulic Setting Tool


Model E hydraulic setting tools are used to run and
set packers, bridge plugs, and cement retainers on a
work string, production tubing, or coiled tubing.
APPLICATIONS

Deviated or horizontal wells


Applications where wireline
setting tools are not practical

DESCRIPTION

The Model E setting tool translates hydraulic pressure applied to


the tubing to a force transmitted through the Schlumberger wireline
adapter kit (WLAK) to the packer, plug, or retainer to fully set the slips
and pack off the sealing element of these tools.

BENEFITS

Design allows applications for


higher setting pressures.
Tool accepts any WLAK
designed for Schlumberger
CPST or Baker E-4 pressuresetting tools.

FEATURES

Automatic fill valve


Tubing drain that opens after
setting packer
Tandem applications possible
Auto-fill and tubing-drain features able to be deactivated

OPERATION

The Model E setting tool and WLAK are assembled to a packer,


bridge plug, or cement retainer that is commonly set with a wirelinedeployed pressure setting tool. Use of the Model E is particularly well
suited for installation of packers, plugs, or retainers in highly deviated
or horizontal wellbores where wireline operations are either impractical
or not recommended.
As the packer and setting tool assembly are lowered into the wellbore,
the automatic fill feature allows the tubing to fill with well fluid as
the tools are run. When the packer has reached the desired depth,
pressure is applied to the tubing string. Hydraulic pressure acts on
the internal piston
in the setting tool, creating the push/pull action necessary to set the
device as it is being installed. When the device is fully set, pressure
is increased to the value of the shear stud connecting the setting tool
to the WLAK. The shear stud parts and releases the WLAK from the
packer, leaving the setting assembly free to be retrieved. After the
Model E setting tool has sheared and released from the packer, a
tubing drain system is activated. As the tubing string and setting tool
are retrieved, the fluid in the tubing is discharged to avoid having to
pull a wet string.

QUANTUM Type
Packer Releasing Tool
The QUANTUM* type packer releasing tool is used to
shift a sleeve in the QMP series, XMP, and XHP packers
to allow simple, straight pickup release of the packer.
It is deployed by slickline or coiled tubing.
APPLICATION

Releasing QUANTUM
type packers

BENEFIT

May be run on slickline


or coiled tubing.

FEATURES

Uses standard sliding sleeve


locator keys
Emergency shear release

OPERATION

The releasing tool is lowered into the wellbore using standard slickline
or coiled tubing procedures. When the releasing tool reaches the
selective nipple profile in the bottom of the packer, downward jarring
is applied to expose and engage the retrieving collet. Upward jarring
pulls the retrieving collet into the support sleeve and moves the
support collet upward to release the packer. When the packer is
released, upward jarring disengages the releasing tool and allows
it to be removed from the wellbore.
When the releasing tool has been removed from the well, the packer
can be retrieved with straight upward pull on the tubing.
