Grab Packer (metric)

Inflatable Grab Packers The grab packer is deployed down a borehole or well and fished to land within a casing or screen then inflated by way of small bore flexible tube. External grab strips on the packer gently expand on inflation to grip and grab the internal of casings and screens etc. RIPE grab Packers have a high push-down or pull-up capability of up to 45 tonne. Grab packers can also be used for installation of water well screens and gravel packing. The well screen is deployed down the borehole (the grab packer inside the screen). The grab packer has an upside landing cone to seat on top of screen, this prevents gravel entering the screen and also stop the packer from moving down. The screen is then set at desired depth, the screen is then gravel packed and the grab packers is then deflated and tripped out of well. Grab packers can be redeployed to top up gravel after commissioning or at anytime.
