FH Double-Grip Hydrostatic Single-String Packer

1 Introduction
The FH™ Double-Grip Hydrostatic Single String
Packer, (Product Family H78108), is a retrievable
packer set by either the hydrostatic head of the
well, tubing pressure, or both.

2 Application
The FH™ is the industry-standard, hydrostatic-
set and shear-release single-string retrievable
packer. It can be used in the following
applications: production, injection, and zonal
isolation; single-string selective completions or
dual-string completions with multiple packers;
deviated wells or other applications when
rotation for installation or removal is not
beneficial; when it is beneficial to displace and
set packers after the well is flanged up; when
testing the tubing string before packer setting
or to independently set and test individual
packers in multiple-packer completions is
beneficial. The FH packer is hydraulically
activated by applying tubing pressure against a
plugging device below the packer. The packer
requires only straight pull to release.

FH Double-Grip Hydrostatic Single-String Packer

3 Features and Benefits

 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. (Refer to chart under the
Limitations section of this unit.)
 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 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
lb (40,000 lb on size 43) is available on special order.

Lock Ring System Limitation

All downward forces from the tubing string are transmitted through the lock ring system. The loading can be
a result of, but not limited to, applied set down weight, thermal expansion, fluid changes and differential
pressures. These forces are in addition to tailpipe weight. The InQuest TUBEMOVE program with the
appropriate seal bore diameter equivalent will aid in the quantification of these forces.
