  • Patent number: 5048613
    Abstract: A well packoff assembly can be set on wireline and reset at a new location on tubing. The packoff assembly has a check valve that actuates when a retrieving tool is lowered into contact with the packoff assembly. The check valve allows fluid below the packoff assembly to flow up if the pressure is greater, but prevents any downward flow. A second port opens to allow downward flow as the retrieving tool releases the slips and seal assembly of the packoff assembly. The packoff assembly is set by a wireline tool which uses a three piece mandrel. The lower piece shears from the intermediate piece once the packer is fully set. The upper piece then separates from the intermediate piece. The intermediate piece stays with the packoff assembly and is sealed in the axial passage to allow the packoff assembly to serve as a bridge plug.
