PACKER PENETRATORS

Packer Feedthru Systems



NOTE: We must fully understand the

packer setting and unsetting mechanism

before we decide to use a feedthru

system.

There should be no relative movement

between the primary string (tubing) and

the secondary string (electrical) when

setting or unsetting the packer.

Otherwise, the cable clamped to the tubing

(primary) will pull from the feedthru

secured to the secondary string.

BIW Connector Systems Important Note for Packer Feedthru Designs


BIW Connector Systems Designed for Ease of Installation The packer feedthru mating mechanism of the connectors is simple

and user friendly, the same as for the wellhead feedthrus.

Note the red dot position


BIW Connector Systems Packer Feedthru

Unlike Wellheads, Packers Typically Have Space Limitations for the Feedthru System.

Feedthrus Can be Installed

1) Integral,

2) Above the Packer, or

3) Below the Packer.

Crossover Adapters are Typically Required When the Secondary Bore is Too Small. Integral Packer Feedthru



Standard Integral Feedthru

( Connection on Both Ends )

An Example 9-5/8” Design



Integral Feedthru for 7 Inch Packers

Note: Sealing Threads or O-Rings

Why is there no red dots?


Consider the Tubing Size vs. Amperage Requirements

Consider the Gas Vent, SSSV, and Control Line Requirements

BIW Connector Systems Packer Feedthru with Cable Molded on Both Ends

Cable splices are required

on both ends, one vertical

and one horizontal.

Note: The box

thread on the top of

the packer.


Has to fit inside the ID of the secondary bore.

An Example of a Bottom Fed, Top Lock System


Packer Feedthru

If room limitations allow the feedthru to be bottom fed,

this design will eliminate the vertical splice.


An example with a MLE molded to the bottom feedthru end.

The adjustment grooves allow space out.

BIW Connector Systems Shrouds, Pods and BOP Cans

All packer feedthrus can be and have

been installed as shroud or pod feedthrus.

BOP Can assemblies are sometimes used

to test a well with the rig and on the well.

Although pressure ratings of 5000 psi are

not needed in these installations, still a

good seal and a unit that can handle the

high temperature and pressures is

preferred.
