  • Publication number: 20160053569
    Abstract: Retrievable packer for operations in wells cased by means of a casing pipe, the packer being applied in operations involving very high pressures, of up to about 15,000 psi, wherein the packer comprises a connecting head for being fixed to a service pipe, an upper mandrel threaded at a lower mandrel, a balancing liner holder concentrically arranged on the upper mandrel so as to form a space of hydraulic pressure between both, within which space one balancing liner is accommodated, designed to apply a downward force on an annular ledge of the upper mandrel, to offset upwards thrust forces that operate on the tool and the service pipe.

  • Patent number: 8844621
    Abstract: A retrievable well packer for downhole operations, comprising an upper mandrel and a lower mandrel connected through a quick threaded connection, a hydraulic actuating assembly for downwardly moving under fluid pressure, a packing assembly for sealing against the well, first coupling mechanism between the upper mandrel and the hydraulic actuating assembly and second coupling mechanism between the lower mandrel and the hydraulic actuating assembly, with the second coupling mechanism connecting the lower mandrel and the hydraulic actuating assembly against rotation but permitting relative axial movement.

  • Patent number: 7708062
    Abstract: A retrievable packer assembly for use in operations into wellbores is provided. The packer assembly comprises a continuous mandrel with a valve body including seal cups to seal against an inner surface of a casing, and a gap defined between the valve body and the mandrel to permit or prevent circulation of fluid between the interior of the mandrel and a section of the casing above the seal cups in response to the movement of the valve body.

  • Publication number: 20100038073
    Abstract: A hydraulic packing device for wellbores, known in the art as “packer”, which is a retrievable device and is used in downhole operations, that is also part of the tools used in wellbore operations, such as oil, water or gas wells, or wells of similar fluids is provided. More specifically, the main object of the invention is a double-latch packer with hydraulic fastening and packing pressure function, double retreat integrated assembly, with elements of rubber packing, which has the advantage of being able to work selectively on facilities with one packer or multiple packers, with the advantage of fastening or releasing the packer selectively in oil, water or gas wells, or wells of similar fluids.

  • Patent number: 7451827
    Abstract: A device for anchoring a casing into a well bore, the device comprising an anchor body mounted in a tool string and a plurality of radially expanding fingers that are mounted in a fingers assembly in a retracted position and they move to an extending position wherein the fingers extend radially from the tool string for anchor against the well bore wall.

  • Patent number: 7325620
    Abstract: This invention refers to a recoverable, reinforced and vibration-damping plug for cased wells, said wells being for oil, water, gas or any other similar fluid; said plug may be used for conventional casing perforation, high penetration casing perforation and casing perforation using the tubing conveyed perforation system, comprising a pressure equalizing valve having an automatic drilling jar mounted over a holding body with sealing rings interleaved on the perimeter. The plug also comprises a safety latch for said valve, packing means and two sets of opposite, single clamps having a wall that anchor said plug to the casing, which provides an almost complete interlocking. Besides, it is furnished with vibration-damping means that may be rubber rings arranged in such a pattern that they may absorb the energy of the shots produced by the casing perforation, and so to avoid ruptures in the plug members.
