MPAS-e™ Remote-Set™ Packer System with eTrigger™ Technology

Application

MPAS-e Remote-Set Packer (RSP™) System with eTrigger technology is the ideal system for reliable and cost-effective zone isolation in extended-reach horizontal wells and other openhole applications.

Advantages

MPAS-e RSP system with eTrigger technology eliminates cement and perforating, eliminates inner string runs, eliminates the uncertainties of reactive-element packer operation, and eliminates mistakes resulting from misleading surface data and inexperienced rig personnel. It combines the industry′s only proven openhole, hydro/mechanical-set packer with a simple and reliable electronic packer-setting controller.

MPAS packer provides better time-to-seal control and a wider hole-size range than swellable technology packers. One-trip deployment and instant seal allow immediate testing following activation. The seal element is effective in both water- and oil-based fluids. MPas packer also allows wider use of BakerHughes sliding sleeves integral to the liner for selective production without the reduced ID of an inner production string.

Additional Information

MPAS packer is the industry′s only proven openhole, mechanical-set packer capable of sealing in irregular or oval wellbores, with successful runs in hundreds of wells.
Run on the production casing or liner string, MPAS packer plus the uniform production profile created by Baker Oil Tools′ EQUALIZER inflow control devices enable flow in the annulus to be efficiently managed without the limits or risk associated with no isolation or with more complex isolation methods.
MPAS packer can be run on blank casing to isolate unwanted zones, on slotted casing to separate producing zones, or between screens in a gravel pack for zone isolation and to minimize hot spots and fines migration.
eTrigger technology is a simple and highly effective method of electronically activating the MPAS packer. It eliminates the costs, complexity, and logistics of an inner string run for packer activation. eTrigger technology greatly simplifies the MPAS packer setting process while lowering costs and saving time.
The eTrigger controller is programmed prior to running tool in the well. Programming the controller is easily done with a laptop computer. Once downhole, the controller evaluates well conditions in real time. When the eTrigger controller “sees” the temperature and pressure conditions it is looking for, it activates a timer. The timer allows a time interval specified by the operator to elapse before triggering hydrostatic setting of the packer. Once the packer is set, hydrostatic pressure continues to energize the seal.
The timer can be reset by circulation or otherwise changing temperature or pressure. Pulling the packer above threshold temperature or pressure resets the timer to its run-in (or sleep) mode. Because the controller is responding to real-time downhole conditions, mistakes resulting from misleading surface data or human error are eliminated.
