... typically are due to difficulties in placing the cement and uncertainties on borehole shape. For years swellable packers have been used in conjunction with cement to overcome these challenges where cement alone has a low probability of providing successful containment. These challenges become more difficult...

... to enable simpler abandonments in the future. The completion change involves the installation of a series of blank pipe sections with swellable packers along the horizontal liner section. These sections will be used in the future to enable simple low-cost and effective cement squeeze procedures with coiled...

... Abstract Swellable packers are widely used to create annular seals between production casing and an open hole. The popularity of swell packers is due to their ease of deployment and streamlined design, which does not have moving parts to malfunction. The current water swell packer technology...

... Abstract Having safe effective annular barriers that can be used for annular isolation is the key for managing wells. This has traditionally been done by either cementing the annulus or through the use of swellable packers. The use of cement as annular isolation usually is considered...

Swellable packers have recently been used successfully to provide a positive annular barrier during a multistage fracture treatment...

... time-consuming and costly. In the past, a single-leg zone was fractured all at the same time, regardless of the varied permeability of the layers. Although this simple method of stimulation was seen as a success at the time, a new, more efficient method using swellable packers with reactive elements...

... of formation exposure time. This data was useful in helping to understand the invaded logs. Just over 1300 feet of perforations were chosen. In the perforation design, standoff was maintained from the swellable packers and from the other minor water swept zones. Extra space was allowed between the end...
