R Double Grip Packer

The R Double Grip Packer is a retrievable set down packer, proven effective and dependable by many years of field service in production, stimulation, and testing applications. It features a large fluid bypass area through the packer with a face seal bypass valve.

The R-DG Packer is designed for use where pressure differential is anticipated from below packer. It is available in a single-grip version for use as a conventional long stroke production packer. The R-DG Packer is also available with increased drag, short stroke, and manual jay for squeeze, stimulation and test operations.

Hydraulic holddown is located below the by-pass valve for operations where pressure differential occurs below packer. By-pass design equalizes rapidly, prevents swaboff, and permits tool to be run faster. Rocker-type slips are field proven to be rugged and reliable. Automatic or manual jay optional.

Setting - Run packer to setting depth. Pick-up, rotate to the right one quarter turn at the tool, then slack-off on tubing. Set down weight closes by-pass valve, sets slips, and packs-off packing elements.
Releasing - No rotation is needed if running an automatic jay. The packer is released by picking up the tubing, which also opens the by-pass valve, permitting fluid circulation through and around the packer. Raising the tubing string the full length of the packer automatically engages the J-slot.
