InflataTEST™
InflataTEST™ is the first rod-conveyed multi-set inflatable packer system available in the oil and gas industry. It is a rigless system deployed from a flush-by unit in applications where operators need to confirm tubing integrity or identify leak locations prior to selecting an optimal setting depth for IPI’s nipple-less Insert-PCP anchoring system, InflataLOK™. It is equipped with seal cups and an Automatic Dump Valve (ADV) to enable multi-cycle packer inflation by simple pressurization of the production tubing. Packer inflation takes place when applied pressure within the annulus between the sucker rods and the tubing ID energizes the system’s seal cups, and inflation fluid is diverted towards the inflatable packer through the ADV valve. Bleeding off applied pressure downhole enables hydrostatic testing in dry tubing and allows the inflatable packer to deflate, which allows it to be positioned at different locations for additional tests.
InflataTEST™ is a unique solution for cost-effective rigless optimization in wells completed with I-PCP’s. It selectively confirms tubing integrity without the need for workstring-conveyance or rig-deployed test packers, and eliminates the operational risks associated with setting an I-PCP across a tubing leak.
