摘要

A wellbore completion method comprising disposing a pressure relief-assisted packer (200) comprising two packer elements (202) within an axial flow bore (144) of a first tubular string (120) disposed within a wellbore (114) so as to define an annular space between the pressure relief-assisted packer and the first tubular string, and setting the pressure relief-assisted packer such that a portion of the annular space between the two packer elements comes into fluid communication with a pressure relief volume during the setting of the pressure relief-assisted packer.
