Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Zonal Isolation in Oil and Gas Well Completion Operations
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar packer designs used in the oil and gas industry for zonal isolation and hydraulic fracturing operations.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing packer designs in terms of reliability and efficiency?
The article does not provide a direct comparison with existing packer designs in terms of reliability and efficiency. Further research or testing may be needed to determine the advantages of this technology over others in the market.
What are the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology in different wellbore conditions?
The article does not address potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology in different wellbore conditions. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and wellbore geometry could impact the performance of the stand-alone packer and should be considered in practical applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
A stand-alone packer has a compressible packer element having an upper end and a lower end disposed about a packer body. A setting sleeve is disposed about the packer body above the compressible packer element. A packer stop having a flat annular upper face is positioned on the packer body below the compressible packer element and a sliding sleeve is disposed in the packer body and detachably connected to the setting sleeve.
