The Ballycatter Model WC-ESP Dual Grip 9 5/8” Packer is a robust hydraulic-set packerbuilt for large-bore ESP completions in 9 5/8” casing. Designed for high-volume production and injection applications, this packer features bi-directional barrel slips that anchor it against pressure fluctuations and tubing movement, ensuring stability and well integrity.

The pass-through cable section enables a secure electrical connection to the ESP below, maintaining operational efficiency in high-flow rate wellbores. Its durable single-mandrel construction and Acner Array Packing Element provide exceptional resistance to high temperatures and corrosive environments, making it an ideal choice for challenging downhole conditions.

The WC-ESP Dual Grip 9 5/8” Packer is set hydraulically by applying tubing pressure against a plugging device, mechanically locking the slips and sealing elements in place. Its dual-grip anchoring system enhances stability, making it particularly suited for large-bore completions with significant tubing expansion and contraction forces.

The straight pull retrieval mechanism allows for efficient removal and reduced intervention costs, ensuring minimal downtime and operational efficiency. Compatible with all major ESP cable pack-off systems, this packer provides high-performance isolation and superior sealing integrity in large-diameter wells.

The Ballycatter WC-HP-2 Isolation Packer is a hydraulic-set, single-string tandem packer designed for multiple-zone well completions.

Its primary function is to act as the upper packer in a stacked packer system, working in conjunction with a lower hydraulic retrievable packer to create a sealed isolation zone between them.

This allows for selective treatment, injection, or production within specific well intervals. Additionally, the WC-HP-2 packer can be used to seal off casing holes or perforations, providing an effective solution for low-pressure well applications.

Ballycatter HP-6 High Angle Production Packer

Available sizes: 4 1/2”, 5”, 5 1/2”, 6 5/8”, 7”, 7 5/8”, and 9 5/8”

The Ballycatter HP-6 is a compact, hydraulically set production packer designed for low to medium-pressure applications in high-angle and horizontal wells. With a short body length and no tubing movement required for setting, the HP-6 is ideally suited for tight-radius deviations, stacked completions, and coiled tubing operations.

It can be run in single or multiple packer installations with sequential setting in a single trip, reducing rig time and complexity.

Rated to 7,500 psi and tested in Q125 casing, the HP-6 features a straight-pull release mechanism that is fully isolated from hydraulic pressure, allowing low shear-out force even under full differential pressure.

Built-in bypass ports equalize pressure during retrieval, ensuring smooth release and reducing swab risk. The tool can be set using rig pumps, and its economical design allows for easy redress and reuse. Optional rotational release is available for added flexibility in challenging retrieval scenarios.

Engineered with materials and elastomers for hostile environments, the HP-6 delivers dependable performance in offshore operations, high-angle wells, and cost-sensitive completions requiring reliability without unnecessary complexity.

Ballycatter Mech-2 Double Grip Mechanical Packer

Available sizes: 5”, 5 1/2”, 6 5/8”, 7”, 9 5/8”, and 10 3/4”

The Ballycatter Mech-2 is a retrievable, compression-set double-grip mechanical packer designed for applications where pressure differentials from below are anticipated, such as combined stimulation and production operations. Featuring opposing slips above and below the packing element, the Mech-2 ensures secure bi-directional anchoring within the casing under varying well conditions.

The tool incorporates a built-in hydraulic hold-down system located beneath the face-seal bypass valve, enabling it to resist upward forces during stimulation treatments. A unique “Differential Lock” mechanism utilizes pressure from below the packer to actuate a balance sleeve, generating additional downward force that maintains bypass valve integrity and ensures a reliable seal.

The Mech-2 is mechanically set using a long-stroke mandrel and a J-slot mechanism. Once positioned, right-hand rotation and applied set-down weight close the bypass valve, engage both slip sets, and compress the sealing elements. The formation below the packer is then fully isolated and accessible only through the tubing. To retrieve, the tubing is raised the full packer length, automatically re-engaging the J-slot and reopening the bypass for pressure equalization and circulation.

With its dual-grip design, hydraulic hold-down, and controlled setting and release process, the Mech-2 offers a robust and dependable solution for demanding applications requiring secure annular isolation and enhanced downhole stability.
