  • Packing element system with profiled surface
    Patent number: 8397803
    Abstract: A downhole retrievable dual directional isolation tool, comprising a mandrel, a compressor ring concentric with the mandrel, and a packing element concentric with the mandrel and having an outer surface defining a plurality of grooves. A downhole retrievable dual directional isolation tool, comprising a mandrel, a packing element concentric with the mandrel, a compressor ring concentric with the mandrel and having a first side wall proximate to a second side wall of the packing element, and a stop ring concentric with the mandrel having a third side wall proximate to a fourth side wall of the packing element, wherein the first side wall of the compressor ring or the third side wall of the stop ring have a circumferential land, whereby in a set state of the tool a contact area between the circumferential land and the second side wall of the packing element or the fourth side wall of the packing element achieves higher contact pressure.
