• Single-Trip, Hydraulic Set: Designed for single-trip installation, this packer is hydraulically set by applying pressure in the tubing, saving significant rig time and simplifying the completion process.
• Isolated Setting Mechanism: The packer is set independently of the production tubing, which allows for a clean completion and prevents any stresses from the tubing string from being transferred to the packer during setting.
• Large Seal Bore: Features a large internal seal bore that provides ample space for a seal assembly, ensuring a robust and reliable seal for a variety of downhole conditions.
• Retrievable Design: Retrieval is performed independently of the tubing using a dedicated retrieving tool, providing flexibility and ease of well intervention.
• By-Pass System: An internal by-pass allows for fluid equalization during run-in and retrieval, minimizing the swabbing effect and preventing premature setting or unsetting.
• Highly Deviated and Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) Wells: The hydraulic setting mechanism is perfectly suited for long, highly deviated wells where mechanical manipulation is not practical.
• Multi-Zone Completions: Can be used as part of a multi-packer system for selective production from different zones.
• Stimulation and Testing Operations: Provides a reliable seal for isolating zones during pressure testing, acidizing, or fracturing treatments.
• Deepwater and Subsea Completions: Its robust design and remote-setting capabilities make it ideal for deepwater applications where reliability is paramount.
The Kriloha K-Packer™ ERD Retrievable Seal Bore Packer is the ultimate solution for complex completions in challenging wellbores, especially those encountered in Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) and deepwater environments. At Kriloha Ltd., we designed this packer with a single purpose: to provide an exceptionally reliable and flexible sealing solution where traditional packers fall short. The ERD packer is a hydraulically set, single-trip system that is run with the production tubing, yet its setting mechanism is ingeniously isolated. The packer is set by applying pressure from the surface through the tubing string, which activates the slips and the sealing element. This eliminates the need for any mechanical movement or rotation, making it a perfect fit for long, deviated wellbores where torque and drag are major concerns. This independent setting mechanism is a key advantage, as it prevents any compression or tension forces from the tubing from affecting the integrity of the packer set. This design ensures that the packer is always set with the optimal force, regardless of the well’s trajectory or the weight of the tubing string. Once set, the packer’s large internal seal bore is ready to accept a Seal Assembly. The seal bore provides a polished and clean sealing surface, which is critical for the longevity and effectiveness of the completion. The Kriloha Seal Assembly, which is run separately and landed inside the packer, provides the final, impenetrable barrier for zonal isolation. This modular approach allows for a high degree of customization, with a variety of seal materials and configurations available to suit any downhole fluid or temperature profile. The retrievable nature of the ERD packer is a major cost-saver. Unlike permanent packers that require milling for removal, the ERD packer can be retrieved with a simple workover using a dedicated retrieving tool. This allows operators to reconfigure the wellbore, access lower zones, or perform remedial work without the expense and time of a full milling operation. The packer’s design includes an internal by-pass system that allows fluid to flow around the packer during run-in and retrieval. This is crucial for minimizing the “swab-off” effect, which can prematurely set the packer or damage the sealing elements. The by-pass closes automatically when the packer is set and re-opens during retrieval, ensuring that pressure is equalized and the tool can be removed smoothly and safely. The Kriloha K-Packer™ ERD is more than just a piece of hardware; it is a meticulously engineered system designed for maximum operational flexibility and long-term performance. Its ability to be set with a simple hydraulic pressure application in challenging well geometries, its robust sealing capability through the large seal bore, and its complete retrievability make it an indispensable tool for a wide range of completions, from deep offshore projects to complex onshore fields. We are proud to offer a product that provides our clients with the confidence to tackle the toughest wellbores, knowing that their zonal isolation is secure and their future well intervention options are preserved.
