Description

The RTTS Packer is a full-opening, hookwall

packer used for testing, treating, and squeeze
cementing operations. In most cases, the tool
runs with a circulating valve assembly.
The packer body includes a J-slot mechanism, mechanical slips, packer elements, and
hydraulic slips. Large, heavy-duty slips in
the hydraulic hold-down mechanism help
prevent the tool from being pumped up the
hole. Drag springs operate the J-slot mechanism on 3 1/2-in. packer bodies while larger
packer sizes (4 in.) use drag blocks. Automatic J-slot sleeves are standard equipment
on all packer bodies.
The circulating valve, if used, is a lockedopen/locked-closed type that serves as both
a circulating valve and bypass. The valve
automatically locks in the closed position
when the packer sets. During testing or
squeezing operations, the lock prevents the
valve from being pumped open. A straight Jslot in the locked-open position matches
with a straight J-slot in the packer body. This
combination eliminates the need to turn the
tubing to close the circulating valve or rest
the packer after the tubing has been displaced with cement.

The packer can be set and relocated as

many times as necessary with simple
tubing manipulation
Tungsten carbide slips provide greater
holding ability and improved wear
resistance in high-strength casing.
Pressure through the tubing activates the
slips
An optional integral circulating valve
locks into open or closed position during
squeezing or treating operations, and
opens easily to allow circulation above
the packer
Operation

The tool is run slightly below the desired

setting position to set the packer and is then
picked up and rotated several turns. If the
tool is on the bottom, only a half turn is
required. However, in deep or deviated holes,
several turns with the rotary may be necessary. To maintain position, the right-hand
torque must be held until the mechanical
slips on the tool are set and can start taking
weight.
The pressure must be equalized across the
packer to unset it. As the tubing is picked up,
the circulating valve remains closed, establishing reverse circulation around the lower
end of the packer. The circulating valve is

These are common sizes. Available in sizes 2 3/ 8 in. to 20 in.

The tensile strength value is calculated with new tool conditions. Stress area calculations are used to calculate
tensile strength.

** Pressure rating is defined as differential pressure at the tool. (Differential pressure is the difference in pressure
between the casing annulus and the tool ID.)
These ratings are guidelines only. For more information, consult your local Halliburton representative.

Sales of Halliburton products and services will be in accord solely with the terms and conditions
