SL Shear Production Packer<br />
78 © 2005-2010 <strong>Weatherford</strong>. All rights reserved.<br />
<strong>Weatherford</strong>’s SL shear production packer is a retrievable packer set by<br />
tension that isolates the annulus from the production conduit in most lowpressure<br />
production, water-injection, and pressure-work applications. A<br />
one-quarter right turn of the tubing string sets the compact, cost-effective,<br />
single-grip packer, which has an auto-release J-body. Setting down weight<br />
automatically rejays the packer into the running procedure for release.<br />
Applications<br />
• Low-pressure production<br />
• Well stimulation, testing, and other pressure operations<br />
• Injection wells<br />
Features, Advantages and Benefits<br />
• The packer can be used in several applications, reducing inventory costs.<br />
• The full opening enables maximum well-fluid circulation through the<br />
packer during run-in.<br />
• The widespread, deep-cut slip wickers securely anchor the packer<br />
without damaging the casing.<br />
• The stainless-steel drag springs prevent rotation for reliable J-body<br />
operation.<br />
• The straight-pickup shear release provides simple operation unaffected<br />
by differential pressure.<br />
• The right safety-joint emergency release provides a reliable, inexpensive<br />
tubing-string release if necessary.
