A stripper packer includes a main body having a first end and a second end. A passage extends through the main body from the first end to the second end, thereby facilitating the passage of coiled tubing through the main body when the coiled tubing is being stripped in and out of a well bore. A primary sealing element encircles the passage. A secondary sealing element encircles the passage. A piston is positioned within the main body. Movement of the piston in a first direction toward the first end of the main body applies a compressive force to the primary sealing element thereby causing the primary sealing element to expand inwardly to form a circumferential seal around the coiled tubing. Movement of the piston in a second direction toward the second end of the main body applies a compressive force to the secondary sealing element thereby causing the secondary sealing element to expand inwardly to form a circumferential seal around the coiled tubing.
