IPI’s Multi Set Injection Packer System (MSIPS) is a multi-cycle inflatable packer assembly designed for high flow rate and high pressure well intervention applications. It can be configured as a single packer or a dual packer straddle system, and its multi-set full-bore functionality allows for multiple high volume stimulation cycles or formation tests to be performed on different zones within a single trip. The MSIPS’ work string annular circulation feature enables to efficiently spot treatment fluids within the wellbore, which reduces overall operational costs; its design features high performance duplex metallurgy that optimizes corrosion resistance in high flow velocity acid treatments and provides superior mechanical properties, which enable this system to withstand differential pressures up to 10,000 psi. These innovations make the MSIPS an optimal inflatable packer solution for formation evaluation, well stimulation, hydraulic fracturing, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications in open hole or cased hole.
IPI’s inflatable element is a highly versatile hydro-mechanical sealing device, engineered for deployment into the wellbore on a wide range of tool chassis. Unique in its design, the IPI element can be set in internal diameters (ID) up to 300% larger than its run-in outside diameter (OD)* – and where required, can also be released and retrieved. This dual-direction sealing capability ensures true wellbore isolation, even in the most challenging environments.
Proven in thousands of operations worldwide, the IPI inflatable element is recognized as the industry’s most robust and reliable inflatable sealing solution, offering best-in-class recoverability. It excels in both cased and open hole applications, and performs effectively in irregular wellbore conditions including ovality, scale, perforations, and non-standard geometries – delivering ultimate operational flexibility from a single solution.
*Performance capabilities vary depending on specific element design and hole conditions.
