The document provides operational procedures for setting, releasing, and disassembling the Model ASI-X Packer, a mechanically set retrievable packer. It can be used in various well applications and withstand differential pressures up to 7,000 or 10,000 PSI. The packer is set using a 1/4 turn to the right and released using another 1/4 turn to the right after pressure equalization. Detailed step-by-step instructions are provided for compression setting, tension setting, releasing, and disassembling the packer tool.

MODEL “ASI-X PACKER”
7” x 2.7/8”
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION
The ACT ASI-X Packer is the most versatile of the mechanically set retrievable packers and may be used in any production application. Treating, testing, injecting, pumping wells, flowing wells, deep or shallow, the ASI-X is suited. The packer can be left in tension or compression, depending on well conditions and the required application. A large internal by-pass reduces swabbing when running and retrieving. The by-pass closes when the packer is set and opens prior to releasing the upper slips when retrieving to allow pressure equalization. The J-slot design allows easy setting and Releasing; 1/4 turn right-hand set, right-hand release. The standard 7” X 2-7/8” ASI-X Packer is designed for differential pressures up to 7,000 PSI.
The 7” X 2-7/8” ASI-X is available in a 10K version which can withstand differential pressures up to 10,000 PSI. This feature allows the packer to be utilized in completions where high pressure treating operations are performed and it is desirable to leave the tool in the well for production.
SETTING PROCEDURES
COMPRESSION SET
Run the packer to setting depth. Pick up the tubing to allow for setting stroke (12-13”) plus desired tubing load. Rotate the tubing 1/4 right-hand turn at the packer, and then lower the tubing while releasing torque. Slack off on the tubing sufficient weight to set the packer (14,000 lbs). Pull tension to assure that the upper slips are set. The tubing can then be left in tension, compression or neutral. If insufficient weight is available to set the packer with compression, tension can be applied after slack-off to pack off the elements.

OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE
TENSION SET
Run to setting depth, pick up on the tubing and rotate 1/4 turn to the right at the packer then lower the tubing slacking off available weight to set the packer lower slips. Pull tension to set upper slips and pack off elements (see setting force guide). After setting the packer, the tubing can be left in compression, tension or neutral.
RELEASING PROCEDURES
The releasing procedures are the same whether the packer has been tension or compression set. Set down weight on the packer and rotate the tubing 1/4 turn to the right at the packer and pick up while holding right-hand torque. The internal by-pass will open, allowing pressure to equalize. After pressure is equalized, continue to pick up to release the upper slips, relax the elements and release the lower slips thus allowing the packer to be re-set or removed from the well. In the event, the packer will not release in the normal manner, hard right-hand torque can be applied (800-1,000 Ft/lbs) which will break the tack weld on the J-pin ring. Continued rotation of approximately 15 turns will release the J-pin ring and allow the packer to be pulled. When released in this manner, the packer will reset when moved down the hole.
CAUTION: High differential pressure below the ASI-X may cause the upper slips to wedge in tighter, requiring an extra amount of tension to release the upper slips.
EXAMPLE: Consider a 7” x 2-7/8” packer set on 2.875” tubing with the backside loaded and the tubing swabbed down causing a 3,000 PSI differential on the backside of the packer. Referring to the pressure affected area guide for a 7” x 2-7/8” packer run on 2.875” tubing, pressure from above acts down on the mandrel across 1.80 in2. Multiplying the pressure (3,000 PSI) by the area (1.80 in2) results in 5,400 lbs tension at the packer over tubing weight required to open the by-pass valve.
