PX-8W Wireline Set, Double Grip Packer
Description
The PX-8W is the Wireline Set version of the PX-8 Double Grip Retrievable Packer. The PX8W uses the PL On-0ff Stinger and WLAK Wireline Adapter Kit to allow it to be set on wireline or a hydraulic setting tool. This packer configuration allows for less equipment and tubing trips over conventional wireline set seal bore production packers, with the added benefit of converting the tool to a tubing set version if desired. When run with the WLAK Wireline Adapter Kit, a blanking plug can be run in place above the PX-8W in the On-Off Stinger, converting the tool into a temporary bridge plug.
The PX-8W Packer is available in a true ‘Sour Service’ version that complies with NACE MR01-75 specifications for use in H2S environments.
Operation
The PX-8W may be run in and set on the Baker Type E-4 wireline setting tool (or equivalent) or set on tubing or coiled tubing using a Pinnacle Hydraulic Setting Tool. Once set connect the tubing string to the packer using a PL On-Off Overshot and remove or relocate the blanking plug if required.
With tubing weight on the packer, apply right hand torque. Pick up the tubing string, opening the bypass and equalizing pressure across the packer. Continue picking up to release the elements and lock the PX-8W into the running position. The tool may now be retrieved from the well.
NOTE: The PX-8W cannot be re-set once unset.
