PACKER FOR PIPE STRING PRESSURE-TESTING Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC E21B33/12 

FIELD: oil production, particularly pipe string pressure-testing inside well.

SUBSTANCE: packer comprises setting tool, lowering device made as cable head with cable, cylindrical body with seat and central axial and radial channels connecting outer body space with central axial channel thereof, sealing member installed on the body and bush sliding in axial direction. The bush has support anvils and is installed in the body. Pipe string section below pressure-testing interval has test clutch provided with calibrated central channel with inner diameter d less that inner diameter d₁ of pipe string. The pipe string has annular depression located over test clutch and having large pipe string clutch joint dimensions in longitudinal direction. Support anvils have longitudinal dimensions B corresponding to longitudinal dimension L of annular depression formed in test clutch and are spring-loaded outwards by means of spring plates. The support anvils are inserted in radial body channels. The body has technological pipe located in top part thereof. Body seat is made as restricted section of central axial channel located below radial channels. Sealing member is outside the channel and is installed on the body. The sealing member may air-tightly cooperate with central channel of test clutch. Bush has widened part formed in center thereof, as well as lower and upper ends having decreased diameters. Lower end the bush cooperates with support anvils from inside and is hermetically inserted in the body seat. Upper end of the bush cooperates with technological pipe from inside. Bush has serially arranged radial orifices and cap arranged upstream of the technological pipe. Cap comprises fishing head. Widened bush section may be engaged with support anvils from inside as support anvils cooperate with annular depression of test bush. Longitudinal short and long turnings connected with each other through figured turning are created on outer surface of technological pipe top. Long turning extends to technological pipe edge. Setting tool is made as pusher connected with lowering device and cooperating with fishing head of the bush from upper part thereof and as pipe installed on the pusher so that the pipe may rotate and move in axial direction. Lower pipe end encloses technological pipe. The technological pipe has inner pin cooperating with technological pipe turnings. In initial position the pin is arranged in short turning.

EFFECT: possibility of low-diameter pipe pressure-testing, decreased metal consumption and costs.
