Seal bore coupling
9-5/8 Model S wireline set permanent seal bore packer
Wire line adapter kit for 9-5/8 permanent packer
RIH to setting depth with the assembly at a normal running speed.
Note: The casing must be in good condition and the packer set in a section of the hole
that is relatively straight.
Set packer.
POOH with the setting tool.

Inspect shear stud to the ensure proper shear was obtained.

Pressure Testing the Model S Packer and Casing

Make up a 9-5/8 retrievable compression set packer and locator seal assembly onto the
work string
Run in hole and set the retrievable packer approximately 20ft above the Model S
permanent packer, below the upper perforations.
Note: The retrievable packer is set with right hand rotation and then applied (set down)
weight of 30,000 lbs will energize the packing elements.
Pressure the tubing to 1500Psi to test the completion packer assembly, and hold for 5
minutes.
Once the packer has been tested continue to pressure up on the tubing to blow out the
tubing shear plug. The pressure to blow the tubing shear plug will be approximately
2500Psi.
Note: In case the plug blows prematurely a slickline plug can be set in the R nipple to
test the packer.
Release the retrievable packer and continue to RIH. Tag the completion assembly to
ensure it is properly set and verify the setting depth. A set down weight on the assembly
of 15,000 lbs is sufficient.
POOH to above the upper perforations and reset the retrievable packer. Test the casing
by applying 1000Psi down the annulus.
Release the packer and POOH.
