ABSTRACT:
A set of inflatable well packing elements are separated by a variable length of tubing and are set in a well to isolate a segment of the annulus by applying fluid under pressure through a tubing string to the well packing elements. The flow of the fluid under pressure to the inflatable packing elements is regulated by a flow control valve which automatically cuts off the fluid flow at a predetermined tubing to annulus pressure differential and opens communication between the tubing string and the isolated well zone. Fluid may thereafter be pumped into or swabbed from the isolated zone. Upon completing the zone servicing, pulling the tubing string up slightly will both equalize the pressure across the inflatable packing elements, and deflate the packing elements. Thereafter, the tubing string may be retrieved from the well or, if desired, moved to another location which can be serviced in the same manner.
