BB0 Retrievable Straddle

The BB0 straddle is a large bore packoff device used to seal off damaged or perforated tubing and isolate the annulus from tubing pressure. Run in a single trip, the straddle incorporates dual packing elements which provide the pressure seal. The slip mechanisms anchor the straddle to the wellbore and are contained within the two packing elements, protected from produced fines and well debris. An intermediate pup joint assembly can be lengthened to extend overall straddle length if desired. The straddle is run and retrieved using conventional well intervention methods along with the Halliburton RS and PK service tools. Applications The BB0 device is a utility straddle designed for a wide range of applications. It has primarily been used as a means of isolating damaged tubing or short perforated intervals. The straddle can also be used to isolate redundant or leaking downhole tools, such as side-pocket mandrels and chemical injection subs. Features One-trip run, two-trip retrieval One-piece dual modulus packing element Compact, modular design High running and retrieval speeds Large footprint segmented slips Slip mechanisms isolated from wellbore Slips mechanically retained on retrieval Controlled setting action Large bore ID to OD ratio Field redressable Benefits Packing element design enhances the ability to return to original shape upon release, thus reducing the risk of hanging up Modular design allows for straddle lengths to be varied from approximately 10 to 60 ft between packing elements Slip mechanisms isolated from wellbore and protected from well debris for improved reliability Controlled setting action and slip design helps ensure stresses exerted on the tubing are evenly distributed, to help prevent damage Mechanically retained slips reduce the risk of premature setting while running in hole and hanging up on retrieval Large bore ID reduces production choke May be run and retrieved on slickline, electric line, coiled tubing, or workstring

BR0 Modular Straddle System

The BR0 modular straddle system allows the deployment of long straddles in sections where running in one trip is not possible due to available lubricator height restrictions. The modular straddle system consists of the BR0 sealbore packer and the RS2 tubing anchor seal assembly. The first run places a lower BR0 packer with integral seal receptacle immediately below the section to be isolated. An RS2 anchor latch, tubing, and upper RS2 seal receptacle (RS2 intermediate assembly) is then run and latched into the lower BR0 packers seal receptacle. The required number of RS2 intermediate assemblies are then run to make up the desired straddle length. The final run consists of a RS2 anchor latch, pup joint, and upper BR0 packer. A total of four RS2 intermediate assemblies can be installed between BR0 packers. If longer straddle lengths are required, intermediate BR0 packers are installed to allow stack-up of additional RS2 intermediate assemblies. Applications The BR0 modular straddle system can be deployed in any well where communication between the tubing and annulus must be isolated. It is ideally suited to applications where long straddles must be run but available lubricator lengths will not allow one-trip installation. The straddle sections may be run and retrieved using conventional well intervention methods. The BR0 packers use Halliburton RO and PK service tools while the RS2 intermediate assemblies use the industry standard GS pulling tool.

Retrievable Gas Lift Straddles

Halliburtons retrievable gas lift straddles allow the introduction of controlled gas lift into a well without the need for an expensive workover. Designed to be positioned across prepunched tubing or set across existing gas lift mandrels that have lost integrity due to erosion or mechanical damage, the injected gas passes through ports on the straddle OD and into the production flow via gas lift valves incorporated within the straddle system. Dual packing elements provide the pressure seal while a slip mechanism anchors the straddle to the wellbore. The slip mechanism is contained between the packing elements, protected from produced fines and well debris. The BG0 Econolift gas lift straddle is run in two trips with the straddle installed on the first trip. An SU2 gas injection head with integral gas lift valve is then landed and locked into the top of the straddle on the second trip. Should failure of the gas lift valves occur or changes in the wellbore conditions require that the gas lift valves be reconfigured, the SU2 gas injection head may be retrieved and the gas lift valves changed out without the need to retrieve the entire straddle assembly. Dummy (blank) plugs can also be installed into the SU2 gas injection head to isolate the flow path if required. The GL0 gas lift straddle and the BM0 Econolift gas lift straddle are both run in a single trip with the gas lift valves built into the straddle body. When these gas lift valves need to be replaced, the straddle is retrieved to surface and the gas lift valves are replaced and then repositioned downhole. The BM0 is retrieved in one trip while the GL0 is retrieved in sections over two trips. Applications BG0, BM0, and GL0 retrievable gas lift straddles are specifically designed for installation in wells where the cost of a workover cannot be justified or where the well must be closed in until a workover can be planned. These systems also allow gas injection to depths previously unavailable or where a failed chemical injection sub is allowing hydrocarbons to enter the injection control line. Features Provide a gas lift solution to suit from 2 7/8-in. to 7-in. GL0 and BM0 straddles run in a single trip; retrieval for BM0 is single trip, GL0 in two trips GL0 and BM0 straddles designed to accommodate up to three industry standard gas lift valves BG0 straddle and SU2 gas injection head can be run and retrieved on separate trips SU2 gas injection head accommodates up to four industry standard gas lift valves One-piece dual modulus packing elements High running and retrieval speeds Large footprint segmented slips Slip mechanism isolated from wellbore Slips mechanically retained on retrieval Controlled setting action Field redressable

Otis G Pack-Off Anchors

Otis G pack-off anchors are designed to set anywhere in the tubing string to straddle and pack off holes or other communication in the tubing string, so well production can be continued without pulling tubing. Anchors are run and set by wireline methods under pressure without killing the well. Pressure ratings for all Otis pack-off anchors are dependent upon packing elements and condition of the tubing string. The G pack-off anchor is particularly suited for installations where a high volume of production is desired. The use of an internal running and pulling neck permits a large internal diameter. Large bore allows the use of properly sized wireline tools (bottomhole pressure bombs, etc.). The anchor utilizes an Otis D collar stop or G slip stop at the bottom. The collar stop is designed to locate and lock in the collar recess of upset or non-upset tubing. For streamlined tubing without collar recess, a slip-type lower stop is available. The upper pack-off section is usually anchored with a slip-type holddown. The G pack-off assembly is designed to seal against the tubing wall and is held in its set position by a mechanical lock. It is a pressure-balanced unit designed to seal against pressures from above and below.
