Expendable Seating Sub Assembly<br />
110 © 2005-2010 <strong>Weatherford</strong>. All rights reserved.<br />
<strong>Weatherford</strong>’s expendable seating sub assembly temporarily plugs tubing<br />
to deploy a hydraulically set packer or to facilitate stimulation, acidizing,<br />
and testing.<br />
In deploying a packer, the assembly is placed in the tubing string below<br />
the packer. A ball drops down the tubing to land onto the seat inside the<br />
assembly. The appropriate differential pressure is applied to the tubing<br />
string to set the packer. Additional differential pressure is applied to shear<br />
out the ball seat, leaving a full opening with a wireline reentry guide shoe<br />
on the tailpipe.<br />
Applications<br />
• Setting a hydraulic packer<br />
• Temporary plugging of the tubing during stimulation, acidizing, or testing<br />
Features, Advantages and Benefits<br />
• The simple, field-proven design enables the application of pressure to the<br />
tubing to set a hydraulic packer reliably.<br />
• The design enables the tubing string to fill with well fluids as tools are<br />
run, reducing rig time.<br />
• Easily accessible shear screws enable shear values to be readily<br />
adjusted in the field, saving time.<br />
• The ball seat shears out completely, leaving a full-opening ID for<br />
maximum production and a wireline reentry guide shoe for the running in<br />
and out of wireline tools.<br />
