Downhole system using packer setting joint and method

摘要

A downhole system (10) including tubular casing string (12) and a packer setting joint (14) configured to receive a packer (18) therein. The packer setting joint (14) includes an interior and an exterior, and all interior and exterior surfaces (46, 48) from an uphole to a downhole end (42, 44) of the packer setting joint (14) are machined surfaces (46, 48). The uphole end (42) of the packer setting joint (14) is connected to the casing string (12), and the downhole end (44) of the packer setting joint (14) is connected to the casing string (12). The packer setting joint (14) has a greater burst strength than a burst strength of a casing joint (26) connected to the packer setting joint (14) within the casing string (12).
