  • Patent number: 5195584
    Abstract: An improved sealing is provided for repairing a breach of down hole casing integrity, while maintaining substantially unrestricted annular fluid communication through the length of the well bore which comprises a casing sleeve supported on a tubing string for providing an alternate liquid or gas flow route about the tubing string at the defective portion of the casing. The casing sleeve is disposed between and connected to a first and second seal support housing assembly, each of which has an internal bore and a retaining end portion dimensioned to prevent a tubing collar of the tubing string from passing therethrough. Resilient casing engaging members are supported on each of the first and second seal support housing assemblies such that the resilient casing engaging members provide an effective seal between the first and second seal support housing assemblies and an adjacently disposed internal wall of the casing.
