HPL-1 Hydraulic Set Retrievable Production Packer – Large Bore Design for 9 5/8” Casing

The HPL-1 Hydraulic Set Retrievable Production Packer is a large-bore, hydrostatic-set, double-grip packer engineered for 9 5/8” casing, providing enhanced flow capacity and efficient wellbore isolation for production, injection, and zonal isolation applications. Designed to maximize flow efficiency while maintaining well integrity, this packer is set hydraulically by applying tubing pressure, eliminating the need for mechanical tubing manipulation. The expanded internal diameter minimizes flow restrictions, making it an ideal solution for high-rate production and injection wells. Once set, the multiple packing element systemensures a mechanically locked, long-lasting seal, maintaining pack-off force throughout its operational life.

To prevent movement under differential pressure, the hydraulic hold-down pistons engage after setting, while the body lock ring secures the setting force, ensuring bottom-hole pressure variations or tubing contraction do not affect the seal. The large bore design allows for unrestricted flow paths, improving overall reservoir performance and artificial lift system efficiency. This makes it particularly valuable in ESP, gas lift, and other high-flow applications, where maintaining maximum production rates is critical.

For retrieval, operators can use a straight upward pull or an optional right-hand rotational release for controlled removal, reducing the risk of stuck tools and minimizing intervention time. With its high-capacity flow path, secure hydraulic setting, and efficient retrievability, the HPL-1 packer for 9 5/8” casing is an optimal solution for operators looking to enhance well performance, reduce pressure losses, and maintain long-term well integrity.

Ballycatter Mech-1 Single Grip Mechanical Packer

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

The Ballycatter Mech-1 is a retrievable, compression-set mechanical packer designed for low-pressure production, casing integrity testing, and well intervention operations. Built with a long-stroke mandrel and a large bypass area, it allows unrestricted fluid circulation while running in hole. The bypass is controlled by a face-seal valve that automatically closes during setting, fully isolating the annulus once the packer is engaged.

Setting is achieved via a mechanical J-slot system using standard right-hand (or optional left-hand) rotation. Once the tool is positioned, applying set-down weight activates the slips and compresses the packing elements, sealing off the formation below. Retrieval is straightforward—lifting the tubing string engages the J-slot and reopens the bypass valve for safe circulation and recovery.

The Mech-1 features a rocker-type slip design for positive casing engagement and can be repositioned if required. Its straightforward operation, reliable sealing, and retrievability make it a practical solution for conventional production completions, casing leak diagnostics, and test operations where hydraulic setting is not required.

Ballycatter HP-5 Production Packer

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

The Ballycatter HP-5 is a hydraulically set, mechanically held, pressure-balanced production packer engineered for deep, high-pressure oil and gas applications. Designed to withstand bi-directional pressure differentials, it performs reliably in demanding environments such as deviated wells, stacked completions, and alternate zone installations. Its internal pressure balance system offsets downhole pressure fluctuations and reversals, maintaining integrity in the set position.

The HP-5 features upper and lower mechanical slips for secure engagement with casing under all well conditions, and its packing element system delivers a robust, pressure-enhanced seal. A unique body lock mechanism prevents pre-setting during deployment, keeping all components rigidly locked as a single unit while running in hole. This makes the HP-5 particularly effective in coiled tubing completions and high-angle installations.

The packer is released via a straight pull, with field-adjustable shear pins that are unaffected by differential pressure—allowing for flexible, operator-controlled release without tool disassembly.

Compatible with a wide range of packer accessories, the HP-5 combines reliability, operational control, and downhole adaptability in a single robust solution for production and injection applications.

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.
