FLUID PRESSURE SET AND RELEASED WELL PACKER APPARATUS

摘要

APPLICATION FOR LETTERS PATENT OF TALMADGE L. CROWE FOR FLUID PRESSURE SET AND RELEASED WELL PACKER APPARATUS A double grip well bore packer run into a well casing on a pipe string has actuator means responsive to hydrostatic or applied fluid pressure to set anchor slips and deform a packing into engagement with the casing, and the setting force is locked into the packing. Pressure differential from below the packer actuates hold-down elements into engagement with the casing. A shearable member is sheared by a shear piston which is normally pressure balanced but rendered unbalanced when a releasing tool is seated in the packer and operated so that fluid pressure can act on the shear piston and release the packer for retrieval from the well casing.
