Used with permanent type packers to provide isolation between the producing zone and the annular space above the
Types of assemblies
Locator seal assemblies:
The tubing locator seal assembly does not lock into the packer. The tubing string can't be landed in tension except that of its own weight, however, the
tubing can be landed with setdown weight. Careful calculation is required to ensure that with maximum shortening the seal remains in the packer bore.
Tubing expansion above the original design estimate is liable to cause buckling.
Stingers:
used with the hydraulically set, single string permanent packer.
Recommendations
The selection is influenced by past equipment records (seal durability and reliability), by the extent to which the running and retrieval of the string is
affected by the incorporation of the seal assembly. For example the polished bore receptacle and locator seal assembly both have the advantage of
theoretically being easily retrievable, although operators have reported seal sticking after extended periods of installation. However, since it is the
moving seal system which has to be run into the seal bore during installation, the possibility of seal damage must be considered.

Just having an issue with this in terms of abandonment. Since permanent packers can be used as a means to isolate porous zones, once the seal
assembly is removed from the permanent packer can we still pump through the permanent packer if our differential pressure above the packer is

greater
that that below the packer or do we ALWAYS need to be "stung" into the packer to pump beneath it??
