The VSI-X Single String Double-Grip
Production Packer is one of the most
versatile packers on the market. This
packer is a modification of the ASI-X
Packer with the advantage of being able
to set on electric line or hydraulically.
An On-Off Tool Stinger with a Wireline
Plug installed can be attached to the
top of this packer. This packer can then
be lubricated in the hole and set under
pressure. Once set, casing pressure
can be bled off, and the tubing with an
On-Off Tool Overshot can be run and
latched onto the packer. The Wireline
Plug can then be removed.
This packer easily converts to a
mechanically set ASI-X Packer – just
remove the shear screws and install drag blocks and drag block springs. The ASI-X
Packer sets with 1/4 right-hand rotation
and releases with 1/4 right-hand rotation.
The ASI-X Packer can be left in tension,
compression or neutral.
NOTE: Stinger and setting equipment
must be purchased separately.
