080-1047-220 MR-3D Retrievable Casing Packer, 7" 26.0-29.0#, 47B2 080-1047-220

Features / Description

 Sets securely in any hardness casing, including premium grades.

 Three-piece packing element system with metal backups accommodates low and high
pressure applications for the broadest range of service.
 Hydraulic hold down button unit with large internal flow path located below the bypass
valve to reduce element swabbing and button wicker dulling. These hold down piston
type slips are set by pressure from below.
 Surface controlled combination bypass and equalizing valve.
 Utilizes a differential lock balance sleeve actuated by pressure from below the packer.
This sleeve acts to add an additional downward force to keep the bypass valve in the
closed position during operation.
 Automatic Jay Unit, setting the packer is accomplished by running to depth; picking up a
few feet rotating 2/3 turns to the right and setting down.
 Straight pickup of the tubing will first open the bypass valve and equalize pressure;
continued pickup will release the packer and automatically engage the packer in the
running position for further operations up or down the hole.
 Wicker slips are machined from 4140 promising the ultimate sharpness and hardness in
steel slips and piston slips, slips and pistons are also available in with carbide inserts.
Lower slips are held fully retracted during running and retrieving.
 Long carbonized friction pads act independent of slips and allow trouble free passage
through collar and recesses and stage tool profiles. Friction pads are also available with
carbide inserts.

Map Model MR-3D Retrievable Production Packers are full opening, set-down type hook wall
packers that are applicable for a wide variety of well treating and producing installations. The
packers are available in 4 1/2-9 5/8 and feature a large internal bypass through the packer which
communicates with a surface controlled set-down face seal type valve. The bypass provides free
flow of fluids through the packer during running, retrieving, and circulation, thus greatly reducing
packing element swabbing and button slip wicker dulling. These packers are used
when differential pressure from below the packer is anticipated and utilizes hydraulically actuated
button type slips to anchor the packer against upward movement. This same hydraulic pressure
also acts on a differential lock balance sleeve, which is located just below the closed face seal.
The balance sleeve acts with the set-down weight to keep the by-pass valve closed when
pressure from below is encountered
 Operating Instructions

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS: MR-3D

Running:

The MR-3D packer is run to setting depth with the bypass valve automatically held in the open
Position, thus permitting free circulation of fluids around and through the tool which aids in
reducing button slip wear caused by dragging the casing Although ample bypass is provided,
care should be taken to run the tool as slow as possible while avoiding sudden starts and stops
when adding tubing stands. In low fluid level wells, avoid hitting the fluid column at a fast rate of
speed.

To set the packer run one foot below setting depth pickup and rotate the tubing 3/4 of a turn to
the right at the tool and apply set-down weight (see following charts for the required set-down
weight). This rotation moves the pins on bottom sub out of the J-slot mechanism thus releasing
the body to move downward (this is a 30" stroke packer) Applying set-down weight automatically
close and seals the bypass valve as well as compresses the packing elements and sets the lower
slips. Once the tool is set the formation below the tools is completely isolated from the annulus
above and is accessible only through the tubing string. In deviated holes it is often difficult to
obtain sufficient set-down weight at the tool because of frictional drag between the tubing and
casing. It is recommended in this case that the tubing be landed with zero pressure then pressure
the annulus to the maximum allowable and bleed back to zero. Repeat the sequence several
times to break the static friction and obtain additional tubing weight to the tool. Should the packer
leak because of insufficient set-down weight, pressure the annulus to help retract the button slips
before applying additional set-down weight.

Retrieving:

The MR-3D packer is released by simply picking up the full length of the packer. However if
conditions allow, overbalance the annulus with a pressure differential before releasing the tool so
the button slips will fully retract. This procedure will reduce the initial pull required to release the
tool and greatly reduce button slip wear. When the tool is lowered again the J-pin automatically
engages if no right-hand torque is in the tubing at the tool the tool can then be run up or down the
hole. When the tubing is raised to reset the packer this automatically release the by-pass to
permit circulation through and around the packers.

EFFECTS OF TUBING AND ANNULUS PRESSURE ON MR-3D UNLOADER

The unloader in MR-3D packers is not hydraulically balanced for any specific tubing size. This
means that regardless of what size tubing the packer is run on, changes in tubing pressure and
annulus pressure will act either to pump the unloader open (by acting against set-down weight) or
help hold it closed. It is important to know how much force will be created, and in what direction,
for a given change in tubing or annulus pressure.

The Area Table (located at the end of this article) gives area values (in square inches) acted upon
be changes in tubing and annulus pressure and also the direction of the resulting force. The
areas shown unshaded indicated a force tending to hold the unloader closed, while the areas
shown shaded indicated a force tending to open the unloader. The directions of the forces remain
true if the tubing and annulus pressures at the tool are increased. If the tubing pressure at the tool
is decreased (i.e., swabbing) the direction of force will reverse.
When annulus pressure is greater than tubing pressure, the Balance Piston is held by annulus
pressure against the Balance Housing and cannot help hold the packer body down. Only set-
down weight is available to keep the unloader closed. It should be noted that the set-down weight
required to keep the unloader closed need not be added to the weight required to set the packer if
the value calculated is less than the force required to set the tool.

USE OF AREA TABLE

TUBING PRESSURE GREATER THAN ANNULUS PRESSURE AT THE TOOL (COLUMNS 2

AND 3):

A. Multiply the change in tubing pressure at the tool by Column 2.

B. Multiply the change in annulus pressure at the tool Column 3. If the total of these two forces is
tending to open the unloader and is greater than the original set-down weight, additional set-down
weight is required. The additional weight is equal to the difference between the force tending to
open the unloader and required set-down weight.

C. Multiply the tubing pressure by Column 1. Column 1 figures are always shaded thus the force
is tending to open the unloader by lifting the tubing. If by adding all three forces, the result is a
force tending to open the unloader and is greater than available tubing weight before setting the
tool, the tubing will raise and the unloader will open. Since available tubing weight is the limiting
factor, high pressures at shallow depths may be prohibitive.

ANNULUS PRESSURE GREATER THAN TUBING PRESSURE AT THE TOOL (COLUMNS 4

AND 5):

A. Multiply the change in tubing pressure by Column 4.

B. Multiply the Change in annulus pressure by Column 5. If the total of these two forces is tending
to open the unloader and is greater than the original set-down weight, additional set-down weight
is required. The additional weight is equal to the difference between the force tending to open the
unloader and the required set-down weight.

C. Multiply the tubing pressure by Column 1. Column 1 figures are always shaded, thus the force
is tending to open the unloader by lifting the tubing. If by adding all three forces the result is a
force tending to open the unloader and is greater than available tubing weight before setting the
tool, the tubing will raise and the unloader will open. Since available tubing weight is the limiting
factor high pressures at shallow depths may be prohibitive.

ANNULUS PRESSURE GREATER THAN TUBING PRESSURE AT THE TOOL DUE TO

SWABBING THE TUBING (COLUMNS 6 AND 7):

A. Multiply the change in tubing pressure by Column 6.

B. Multiply the change in annulus pressure by Column 7. If the result is a force tending to open
the unloader and is greater than original set-down weight, additional set-down weight is required.
This additional weight is equal to the difference between the force tending to open the unloader
and the required set-down weight.
