ABSTRACT:
In a retrievable packer adapted for service under high temperature and high pressure operating conditions, the packer is purpose-designed as a cut-to-release packer. That is, this retrievable packer has no built-in release mechanism. An internal cinch slip is used to retain the packer in its set position and thereby prevent the accidental release of the packer. The only way it can be released is by severing the mandrel. The cut point is opportunely designed so that the mandrel is severed in a precise location such that not only is the packer released, but all the packer and tail pipe are then retrievable as a unit. The primary advantage of a cut-to-release packer is that it can withstand extreme tubing loads occurring during production and stimulation.
