Checklist - Packer Running Operations
As packers are probably one of the most important items of downhole equipment in well completions, great care must be taken with their preparation and installation where they are used. All packers should have been functionally checked and pressure tested in Base workshops before dispatch to the well site but should still be inspected before use.
The different makes/types of packer have different featured which must be inspected with reference to the vendor literature, however the following should not be overlooked:
- ·correct size and type;
- ·cutting edges . . .
