Swell Packer
The Swell Packer isolation system is an innovative technology that offers simple, safe, and reliable downhole isolation. The Swell Packer system is based on the swelling properties of rubber in hydrocarbons, water, Gas and Hybrid. A Swell Packer system can swell and sealing the annulus around the pipe to achieve effective zonal isolation. Additionally, the Swell Packer system’s self-healing properties make this a reliable and risk-mitigating technology for all zonal isolation applications. Each Swell Packer system is bonded to a base pipe and can be delivered with any element length, only limited by the base pipe length. Because the rubber is bonded to the base pipe, it is extremely robust and can hold significant differential pressures (15K psi) and can be rotated or reciprocated while running in hole. After the element is bonded, the rubber element also retains its flexibility, enhancing run-in-hole effectiveness

Slip-on Swell Packer
Slip-on is a pre-assembled high-performance swell packer especially designed for high differential pressure applications where a bonded swell packer (old type of swell packer) is not viable for logistic reasons.
It easily slips on pipe and provides on-site installation in a very short time.
Its reduced overall length allows for increased installation flexibility throughout the well trajectory and optimal
zonal isolation.
The slip-on innovative sealing concept allows for stacking multiple units in series for increased differential pressure holding capability up to 15,000 psi. slip-on swells in all well fluids containing aqueous and
hydrocarbon fluids, especially swells in wet and dry gas.
PETROCO is the only company that has obtaining the functional test approval according to the
API 19OH (Zero Bubble) standard from the NISOC.
