The Model FH Double-Grip Hydrostatic Single String Packer is a retrievable packer set by either
the hydrostatic head of the well, tubing pressure, or both.

FEATURES

No tubing manipulation required. The setting mechanism of this packer is
released with pump pressure. The packer can be set after the well is flanged up
and the tubing is displaced.

Heavy duty operational to hydrostatic pressures of 12,000 to 15,000 psi.

Hydraulic set for low Hydrostatic Head Wells. The FH Hydrostatic Packer can
be set by tubing pressure alone at any depth. When the hydrostatic head is less
than 1,500 psi, however, the packer must be set hydraulically.

Setting mechanism. The design of the setting mechanism ensures sustained
pack-off force throughout the life of the packer. This tool does not depend on
trapped hydraulic pressure, but mechanically locks initial setting forces into the
Packing Elements. Any additional bottom hole pressure or mechanical load due
to tubing expansion is transmitted as additional pack-off force. Reduction of
bottom hole pressure or tubing contraction, however, does not diminish the
initial setting force.

Multiple Packing Element System.

Hydraulic Hold-Down. The pistons of the Hydraulic Hold-Down are protected
against dulling while running in the hole by Restraining Pins installed inside the
Piston Springs. After the tool is set, The Restraining Pins shear, allowing the
Pistons to bite into the casing before the pressure differential from below is
sufficient to move the packer.

No Mandrel movement after setting. All downward movement of the receptacle
with respect of the tubing, and all upward movement at the tubing with respect
to the Receptacle during setting is trapped in the Body Lock Ring. Once set,
the packer will withstand slackoff or upstrain (within the limits of the shear value
selected). All slackoff goes into the packing elements, whereas all upstrain goes
through the Shear Ring (or Shear Nut) to the Slip Ring and slips to the casing.

Optional rotational release. An optional right-hand rotational release with a
safety shear value of 50,000 lbs (40,000 lbs on size 43) is available on special
order.

Running Procedure

The Model FH Packer is actuated by pressuring the tubing to obtain a differential at the packer. To
accomplish this, a means for temporarily plugging the tubing below the packer must be provided. For
example, run:

1. A Model E Hydro-Trip Pressure Sub below the FH Packer.
2. A Model C Differential Displacing Valve at some point below the FH Packer, provided that
operations will not require pressuring the tubing internally prior to opening the differential displacing
valve, or
3. A Flow Control Seating Nipple at some point below the packer. A blanking plug may then be run
and retrieved by standard wire line techniques.

If more than one Model FH Packer is to be run, one of the above temporary tubing plugging devices
must be run below the lowermost packer. When the tubing is pressured in this case, all of the
Hydrostatic Packers will be set simultaneously.

OPERATION

NOTE: Using a Model E Hydro-Trip Pressure Sub.

1. For applications where the hydrostatic pressure is 1,500 psi or above:
Run the packer to setting depth, flange up the well and displace tubing. Place a ball in the tubing
string and pump down to seat in the Model E Hydro-Trip Pressure Sub below the Model FH
Packer. Increase the tubing pressure to approximately 1,000 psi over the annulus pressure at the
packer. (At hydrostatic pressure over 7,000 psi, the actuating pressure will increase with increasing
hydrostatic pressure due to load on segment retainer.) This shears the shear screws in the
segment retainer, allowing it to move up, releasing the ring segments, and unlocking the
connector mandrel from the mandrel. The hydrostatic pressure of the well fluid then forces the
connector mandrel down into the atmospheric chamber. This action moves the receptacle down
toward the slip ring, setting the slips and packing off the tool. The downward movement of the
receptacle, packing element mandrel and connector mandrel, etc., is held by the body lock ring
engaging the mandrel. If, after the packer is set, the tubing contracts, the mandrel can move up
until the shear ring retainer contacts the shock absorber at the bottom of the setting sleeve. This
movement will be retained in the body lock ring. If the tubing elongates, the downward force of the
mandrel is transmitted through the body lock ring, packing element mandrel, receptacle, packing
elements and cone, adding to the setting force.

After the packing elements are sealed off, any differential pressure from below the tool will actuate
the hydraulic hold-down pistons and engage them in the casing. The tubing pressure differential
is then increased across the hydro-trip pressure sub ball seat to pump the ball through the finger-
type ball seat and allow it to gravitate to the bottom. The ball seat fingers will expand into the
recess provided and leave the tubing full opening.

2. For applications where the hydrostatic pressure is less than 1,500 psi:
The Model FH Hydrostatic Packer is designed to allow the packer to be set hydraulically at
shallow depths where the hydrostatic pressure is not sufficient to effectively set the packer.

NOTE: In near zero hydrostatic applications the FH Packer has little internal friction to resist
tubing rotation. Left-hand torque applied to the FH Mandrel in the set position can thread the body
lock ring down onto the upward looking face of the connector sleeve. Continued rotation can
unthread the left-hand connection between the connector sleeve and the element mandrel thus
releasing the pack-off. If tubing rotation is anticipated on a future shallows set job, the connection
between the connector mandrel and the element mandrel should be locked together with an
appropriate thread locking compound with the consideration that there should be a method of
breaking the connection. The connections should not be set screwed together, as the cross
sections would not effectively accept a set screw.

For this application, the packer is dressed with an additional number of shear screws to increase the
actuating pressure to 2,000 psi. The actuating pressure is increased from 1,000 psi to 2,000 psi under
this condition in order to provide additional stretch in the tubing at the time the packer is set so that
there is a greater likelihood that the rebound will shoulder the mandrel against the shear ring when the
hydro-trip pressure sub is sheared out. In order to allow adequate safety factor, the hydro-trip pressure
sub must be dressed to require 3,500 psi differential to blow the ball through the sub.
NOTE: In order for the packer to be set, the hydro-trip pressure sub must allow the tubing pressure
to be increased over the annulus pressure to a level sufficient to release the ring segments. It is
important to NOTE that in wells that take fluid under hydrostatic pressure alone, it is possible to obtain
a differential across the ball without pressuring the tubing. If the tubing below the ball is isolated from
the annulus (as with a permanent packer below the hydrostatic packer), the ball could shear the hydro-
trip pressure sub, without setting the packer. Under these conditions, provisions should be made for
running a seating nipple and landing a plug on wire line.

Using a Model C Differential Displacing Valve

If operations do not call for pressuring the tubing internally, a Model C Differential Displacing Valve
may be used instead of the hydro-trip pressure sub. The differential displacing valve offers distinct
advantages in cases where it is advantageous to displace the tubing after the well is flanged up and the
tubing sealed off in a packer below the Hydrostatic Packer. The differential displacing valve is opened
by pressuring the tubing (not sufficiently to set the Hydrostatic Packer). The tubing may then be
displaced. Drop a ball to set the Hydrostatic Packer and close the differential displacing valve.

Using a Blanking Plug

If a seating nipple or Model L Sliding Sleeve is run below the Hydrostatic Packer, The packer may be
set by landing a plug in the sleeve or nipple. (In most cases, the plug can be run, the packer set and the
plug retrieved in one trip in the well.)
NOTE: Remember that the segment retainer of the Model FH Packer is actuated by tubing
pressure. This prohibits pressure testing with a tubing tester through the packer. However, the packer
can be dressed with sufficient shear strength to allow limited testing of lower packers, etc.

The ball sets in the Model E Hydro-Trip Pressure Sub and the Model C Differential Displacing Valve
have a restricted ID until the packer is set and the ball seat sheared. Remember this is wither collar
locators or thru-tubing perforating guns are used. The minimum ID of the ball seat is listed in the
respective unit covering each tool.

For Selectively Setting and Individually Testing up to Three FH Packers

The Model FH Packer is adaptable to individual setting and testing by a simple adjustment of shear
screws in the segment retainer housing. Dress the lowermost packer with two brass shear screws.
(When dressing packers for this type hookup, all packers going on one string should be dressed with
shear screws from one box to ensure similarity of shear valves.) Dress the second (middle packer in
three packer hookups or upper in two packer hookups) with five brass shear screws, and a third (upper)
packer with eight brass shear screws. This allows the packers to be set individually. The first will set
with approximately 1,000, the second 2,000 and the third 3,000 psi differential at the packer. In order to
test the packers individually, a means of temporary communication between the tubing and the casing
(e.g., a Model L Sliding Sleeve below each packer) will be necessary. The lower packer can be set
and tested down the casing. The second packer can then be set, the sleeve below it opened, and the
second packer tested down the casing. The third packer is set and tested the same way. It is
recommended that a blanking plug be used to temporarily plug the tubing for setting the packers due to
the higher pressures involved.
