Description
   G ENERAL
   The Single Set Packer is used for isolating zones in open-hole or in
   casing. The tool is retrievable and may be used for testing, treating,
   production, or injection. The Single Set, Rotational Release Packer may
   be used in vertical or deviated wells.
   Inflatable packers elements for this tool are 1.68m. (66.25 Inches) in
   length. High strength aircraft cable is used to provide good expansion
   characteristics in washed out or irregular well bores, as well as to
   provide high differential pressure capabilities. Cable reinforcement
   allows these inflatable packer elements to return very close to the
   original run-in diameter. In addition, these elements are less likely to
   lose rubber down hole because superior bonding occurs between the
   rubber and cable.
   F EATURES
      Inflatable Packer Elements provide greater clearance through
       restrictions in a well.
      Tool requires rotation for release.
      A cable-reinforced packer element provides superior bonding of
       rubber to cable, and therefore less rubber is likely to be lost
       downhole.
      The system allows pressure to be fully equalized across the packer
       element prior to unsetting the packer. This minimizes packer
       element damage.
   A PPLICATIONS
   Water Shut-off - Single-Set packers may be used for long term production to block
   water encroachment zones in a well. As the life of a well increases, water coning
   may occur. Also, water production may start occurring from fractures or channels.
   Inflatable packers provide an effective seal in open hole or in casing, to block this
   unwanted water production.
   Production - Single Set Rotational Release Packers are also very effective for
   production applications. The packer serves two purposes when used for these
   applications. Firstly, the inflatable packer element provides a very effective seal in
   open hole or in casing. Secondly, the element anchors solidly in open hole or in
   casing, to prevent tubing reciprocating or rotational movement at the tool.
   For production applications, flow of oil or gas may occur from below the tool. A
   pumpout sub enables the flow passage through the tool to be opened for production,
   after the packer has been set. Alternatively, flow of oil or gas may take place from
   the production zone above the packer. A circulating valve (hydraulic, rotational
   type, or impact plug type) enables the flow passage above the tool to be opened,
   after the packer has been set.
   Injection - Single Set Rotational Release Packers may be used for injection of fluids
   in disposal wells. A large internal bore, equivalent to the running string, is provided
   through the tool. For long term disposal applications it is very important that
   materials used in manufacturing these tools, are able to resist highly corrosive
   environments typically associated with disposal wells.
   For disposal applications, fluid is normally injected to the zone located below the
   tool. A pumpout sub enables the injection passage through the tool to be opened for
   injection, after the packer has been set.
   Testing - Single Set Packer s may be used for testing zones in open hole or in casing.
   Zones may be isolated to determine oil, gas, or water production from certain
   sections. Testing of each zone will determine which fluid is produced from that
   section. Also, testing will determine flow rates the zone. Electronic Pressure-
   Temperature Recorders as well as Shut-In Tools, may be used with the system to
   provide additional subsurface data from zones being tested.
   For testing applications, flow of well fluids may take place from the zone located
   above the packer. It is recommended that a rotational circulating valve be used
   directly above the tool. After the packer has been set, this valve may be rotated to
   open the flow ports. Once the required information from that zone is obtained, the
   valve may be rotated to close the flow ports.
   Testing may then take place from the zone located below the tool. A pumpout sub
   enables the flow passage through the tool to be opened for testing.
   Treating - Single Set Rotational Release Packers may be used for treating zones in
   open hole or in casing. A large internal bore equivalent to the running string, is
   provided through the tool. This large bore minimizes frictional effects and does not
   provide restrictions for treatment at high pump rates.
   Typical treatments performed through the tool would be fracturing, acidizing,
   polymer injection for water shut-off, and acid washes.
   For treating applications, a circulating valve is used above the tool. This valve is
   opened to allow treatment fluid to be pumped from surface, to the tool. Once the
   treatment fluid is spotted to the tool, the circulating valve is closed, and treatment
   fluid is then injected to the zone located below the packer.
   Squeeze Cementing - Single Set Rotational Release Packers may be used for
   squeeze cementing zones in open hole or in casing. These packers provide greater
   clearance for running tools into a well where there are restrictions such as casing
   patches. In addition, the long seal section provided with an inflatable element is
   more effective in older wells where casing may be partially corroded. These packers
   are particularly effective for squeeze cementing required to abandon old wells.
   For squeeze cementing applications, a circulating valve is used above the tool. This
   valve is opened to allow cement to be circulated from surface, to the tool. Once the
   cement is spotted at the tool, the circulating valve is closed, and cement is then
   squeezed into the zone located below the packer.
   Bridge Plug - Single Set Rotational Release Packers may be used as Bridge Plugs in a
   well, to isolate oil-water or gas- water contacts. These packers provide effective
   isolation in open hole or in casing. The long seal section provides additional
   assurance that good isolation will be provided where fractures or channels are
   present.
   For bridge plug applications, a bull plug is typically used below the tool. Also, an on-
   off seal assembly is used directly above the tool. Once the packer has been set,
   manipulation of the work string allows tubing to be disconnected from the tool. In
   horizontal wells, a hydraulic disconnect unit is typically used. Additional pressure
   applied after setting the packer, disconnects the tubing string from the packer.
   Pressure Testing Casing Patches - Single Set Rotational Release Packers are very
   effective for testing casing patches. Run-in diameter is reduced when a casing patch
   is set. An inflatable packer is designed with a reduced Outer Diameter (O.D.), which
   makes it possible to pass through a casing patch.
   For testing a casing patch, the single set inflatable packer is normally set directly
   below the patch. After the packer has been set, pressure is applied to the annulus
   above the packer.

   Operating Procedures
   Prior to running the Single Set Rotational Release Tool into the well, a decision must
   be made whether to run a pumpout sub, ball shear assembly, or a bull plug, at the
   bottom of the tool.
   A pumpout sub will not allow tubing to fill as the tool is run into the well. Shear Pins
   are used in this sub and these may be set at a pre-determined value based on
   accessory tools used, and downhole operating conditions. A pumpout sub is
   normally used in highly deviated or horizontal wells.
   A Ball Shear Assembly allows tubing to fill as the tool is run into the well. Also, fluids
   may be circulated down the tubing before dropping the ball from surface.
   A Bull Plug is typically used for bridge plug applications.

   6.   After 5 minutes, bleed back the pressure very quickly from the high pressure
        pump. Do not open the valve located on the Bottom Shoe. At this point, some
        pressure loss will occur in the inflatable packer element, due to movement of
        the check valve.
   7.   Wait an additional 5 minutes to ensure no further pressure loss occurs through
        the check valve.
   8.   Open the valve located on the Bottom Shoe, and bleed back the packer inflation
        pressure. Remove the gauge and valve assembly located on the Bottom Shoe.
        Thread a Hollow Hex Plug – ORB No. 4 (303) into the side port located on the
        Bottom Packer Shoe (12).
   9.   Remove the casing section from the tool, and remove the tubing collars and bull
        plugs from the tool.
   10. If the tool will not be used in the field immediately, it is recommended that the
       tool be disassembled, and all components should be allowed to air-dry.
       Alternatively, any water in the system could be displaced with a non-corrosive
       fluid.
   11. Using a rubber mallet, tap the Upper Mandrel (2) to ensure the shoulder on the
       Upper Mandrel (2) contacts the Release Coupling –RR (5). Rotate the Upper
       Mandrel (2) until side holes on this mandrel are aligned with side holes on the
       Mandrel Housing (4).
