Please Note: You should print this page out and fill it out by hand, returning it by fax.

Packer Use:

Sigra can provide packers for a variety of applications. These include:

Pressure measurement at a single point
Pressure measurement at multiple points (multiple straddle packer)
Packers for grouting, sacrificial/retrievable
Wireline packers
Grout filled packers
Casing sleeve packers
Large diameter packers to seal and grout pipes and tunnerls
Wireline grouting packers for squeeze cementing
Fluid sampling at single or multiple locations
Well screen lifting
Hydrofracture packers
Impression packers
Self inflating injection packers
Flexible packers for use in confined situations
No doubt there are other uses we haven't considered

Describe:

Physical Packer Specification:

Define Hole Profile -

    eg
  • Rough Hammered Gneiss
  • Smooth Diamond Cored Siltsone
  • Steel Casing
  • Inside of well screen

Describe:

Maximum un-inflated diameter

Minimum inflated diameter

Minimum inflation pressure capability in unconfined state

Expected maximum diameter at which the packer should seal

Maximum scaling pressure required between the packer and the borehole wall at the maximum sealing diameter

Minimum length of packer in contact with the borehole wall at the maximum sealing diameter

Maximum length of packer assembly un-inflated

Lifting weight if the packer required to lift screen or casing etc

Preferred means of inflation

  • external inflation line
  • drill rods
  • steel tube
  • hydraulic hose

Media for Inflation

  • water
  • nitrogen

Required life when inflated

Corrosion/deterioration risks

  • external packer fluid
    • water
    • pH
  • gases
    • methane
    • higher hydrocarbon
    • hydrogen sulphide
  • sunlight
  • storage temperature
  • operational temperature

Special valving required -
eg
for DST tool
or non return inflation lines
