API 11D1 Mechanical retrievable PACKER

1．Running Procedure

Upon reaching proper setting depth, initiate the setting by picking up at least 15” at the tool. Rotate tubing enough to ensure 1/4 round of right-hand rotation reaches the tool and set down at the same time. Application of set-down weight at the closes and seals the bypass seal, sets the slips, and packs off the Packing Elements (see the Setting Force Guide below)

Minimum Set-down Weight Required

Pick up on the tubing string to neutral at the tool. Work the tubing left and right with a pipe wrench, observing tubing rotation and feel of torque. Ensure that all initial right-hand rotation originally put in is removed. Slack off tubing weight to at least 2,000 lbs of applied weight at the tool. With a pipe wrench, apply and hold left-hand torque, then begin pulling tubing string into tension. Continue the up strain with tension over the string weight according to the chart below. Repeat a push and pull sequence at least once with no torque applied, applying whatever loads are satisfactory to accept anticipated conditions within the rated limits. Land the tubing as specified for the application.

Note: if running the AS1-X and AS1-X-HP packer with an On/Off Tool which Left-Hand to release, ensure the On/Off Tool is pinned in the shear up position. The same setting procedure will apply.

Up strain Tension Force

Releasing

The releasing procedures are the same whether the packer has been tension or compression set. Set-down weight 500lbs minimum on the packer and rotate the tubing 1/4 turn right at the packer, then pick-up holding the right-hand torque. The internal by-pass will open, allowing pressure to equalize. Further pick-up releases the releasing sequential slip system, relaxing the elements, allowing the packer to be removed from the well. The packer can be moved and reset without tripping the pipe if the elastomers have not been permanently altered from the well environment.
