• Permanent Installation: Designed for a secure, long-term, and reliable installation that can withstand extreme pressure and temperature differentials.
• Hydraulic Set: Set by applying tubing pressure, providing a simple, safe, and reliable setting mechanism that is ideal for deviated and horizontal wellbores.
• High-Strength Slips: Features two opposed sets of full-circle, full-strength slips that ensure the packer remains securely set in any grade of casing, including premium grades.
• Metal Backup Rings: The packer’s sealing system is backed by unique, interlocking, expandable metal rings that prevent the elastomer from extruding under extreme pressure, providing a secondary barrier and enhancing the packer’s long-term integrity.
• Slim-Line Design: A compact and slim-line design that allows for faster run-in times without the fear of impact damage or premature setting, saving significant rig time.
• High-Pressure, High-Temperature (HPHT) Wells: The ideal choice for completions in demanding HPHT environments where long-term zonal isolation is critical.
• Permanent Zonal Isolation: Used for long-term separation of production zones, water injection zones, or other wellbore fluid management applications.
• Deviated and Horizontal Wells: The hydraulic setting mechanism makes it the preferred permanent packer for complex well geometries where mechanical setting is not practical.
• Cementing Operations: Can be used as a primary or secondary isolation barrier for multi-stage cementing operations.
The Kriloha K-Packer™ Model DB Hydraulic Set Permanent Packer is the pinnacle of our packer technology, engineered for absolute reliability and long-term integrity in the most hostile downhole environments. For operators who demand a completion that will perform flawlessly for the life of the well, the Model DB is the unequivocal choice. This packer is the embodiment of Kriloha Ltd.’s advanced materials science and precision engineering, designed to be set once and trusted forever. The permanent nature of this packer means that it is intended for applications where future retrieval is not planned and a robust, long-lasting seal is paramount. The packer is installed on a hydraulic setting tool, and a temporary plugging device is placed below to allow for a pressure buildup in the tubing. Applying a predetermined tubing pressure sets the packer, causing the slips to bite into the casing and the sealing element to expand. This hydraulic setting process is particularly advantageous in highly deviated or horizontal wells, where the weight and movement required for a mechanical set would be unreliable. The simplicity of a pressure-set mechanism reduces operational complexity, minimizes rig time, and ensures a consistent and repeatable set every time, regardless of the well’s trajectory. What truly sets the Model DB apart is its triple-barrier sealing system. The primary barrier is our state-of-the-art packing element, which is engineered with proprietary elastomers that are resistant to extreme temperatures and corrosive fluids. The secondary barrier is a series of unique, interlocking metal backup rings. As the packer sets, these expandable metal rings contact the casing and create a positive, non-extrudable barrier that prevents the packing element from extruding or deforming under immense pressure. This provides a crucial layer of long-term integrity, especially in HPHT applications. The final barrier is the robust double-opposed slips, which provide a secure, bidirectional grip on the casing. These full-circle slips are hardened to a precise depth to ensure maximum holding power without damaging the casing. The slim-line design of the Model DB allows for faster run-in times and reduces the risk of premature setting. This is especially important in long, deep wells where every minute of rig time counts. The tool is designed to run in without fear of impact damage, ensuring a smooth and efficient trip. The Kriloha K-Packer™ Model DB is not just a permanent packer; it’s a permanent solution. Its superior design, combined with our rigorous quality control and comprehensive engineering support, provides our clients with the confidence that their wellbore is securely isolated for the long haul. Whether it’s a high-volume gas well, a high-pressure oil field, or a critical injection well, the Model DB delivers the performance and reliability that are the hallmarks of Kriloha Ltd. We are proud to offer a packer that is synonymous with security, durability, and a lifetime of dependable service.
