Meta系列封隔器：高效对接多类难题

Middle Eastern Operators are faced with new challenges in extracting ‘new’ oil and gas from much deeper complexed reservoirs thus requiring a different approach demanding new techniques to address today’s life of well integrity requirements. Meta has directly addressed these local challenges keeping in mind today’s economic restrictions by developing a range of low cost and high performance packers.

The Permanent MorphPacker is a cased hole production packer. It can also be used as a liner top packer with anchoring in uncemented applications, and is suitable for geothermal and HPHT completions. It breaks the rules of conventional packer design. By using Meta’s patented Metalmorphology technology, a V0 packer with only 7 components, no moving parts, and no internal seals has been created. It allows for a fullbore design that matches liner ID, a major advantage to operators.

Not only does the product cost less but it more reliable, faster and easier to install than competitor packers saving operators money in terms of rig time, requires less equipment in the first place as operationally it can carry out the role of multiple products, so also simplifies supply chain.

The Zonal Isolation MorphPacker provides life of well isolation in the open hole, exceeding the capabilities of cement. With a morphing ratio of over 60% and its differential pressure capabilities, this durable and reliable packer sets instantly, compared to swellables, conforming perfectly to the wellbore.

Multiple packers can be morphed and set from surface, saving valuable time and resources. The packers are attached to base casing and are resistant to any degradation from produced fluids. Contact force is also maintained in the most challenging of gas production and injection environments.

The Frac MorphPacker offers a cost effective way to instantly isolate old perforations, while maintaining the maximum ID, giving operators a quick and reliable way to re-stimulate their wells. Instead of using degradable balls which can be unreliable, or using expensive liners, Meta has created a packer that uses standard liners and still maintains standard liner IDs. This reliable and affordable solution is flexible as it’s configurable for both plug and guns and ball drop sleeve systems.

MorphPackers

There are few issues that keep operators and drilling contractors awake at night as much as a well’s zonal and barrier integrity. Washouts that erode the borehole or poor cementing jobs that threaten barrier integrity can have huge implications for well production. Today, the frequency of problem zones in high risk wells, such as HP/HT wells and shale formations, can be as high as 90%。

Meta offers a range of MorphPackers to meet a range of downhole isolation challenges; Zonal Isolation MorphPacker, Permanent MorphPacker and the Frac MorphPacker.

The Zonal Isolation MorphPacker is providing the answers and extending the boundaries for open hole isolation. With a morphing ratio of over 60% and its differential pressure capabilities, this durable and reliable packer sets instantly, compared to swellables which take up to 21 days, conforming perfectly to the open hole. Lasting for the lifetime of the well and exceeding the capabilities of cement it gives operators that much needed peace of mind. Its the Metalmorphology that provides the catalyst for a new way of working. Multiple packers can be morphed and set from surface, saving valuable time and resources. The packers are attached to base casing and are resistant to any degradation from produced fluids. Contact force is also maintained in the most challenging of gas production and injection environments.

The Permanent MorphPacker is a complete rethink of how packers are typically designed. A conventional packer has over 20 components, multiple internal seals, internal threads, multiple moving parts, complex multi-component elements and shear screws, all of which have to work together perfectly to achieve a seal. Meta has developed a production packer with just 7 components, zero moving parts, zero internal seals, zero internal packer threads, zero shear screws and a simple external element with a zero extrusion gap design. Shaping metal downhole, using Metalmorphology, also allows for a fullbore design that matches the liner. The simplistic design means its a reliable and high end product, yet affordable.

The Frac MorphPacker provides a cost effective way to instantly isolate old perforations while maintaining the maximum ID, giving operators a quick and reliable way to re-stimulate their wells. Easy to run, quick to set and maintaining the largest ID possible, the Frac MorphPacker is changing the way operators approach re-stimulation. Instead of using degradable balls and hoping they will last, or running expensive expandable liners, operators running the Frac MorphPacker can permanently isolate existing zones using standard liners and still maintain standard liner IDs. Configurable for both plug and guns and ball drop sleeve systems, this is a re-stimulation solution that is flexible, reliable and affordable。

Application

• Uncemented Liner Hanger： Many operators use conventional liner hangers even when running uncemented liners or completions, and then run a production packer as part of their completion. This doubling up on tools increases equipment costsas well as the rig time, however with Meta’s Permanent MorphPacker this is no longer required. The Permanent MorphPacker has a performance envelope that exceeds other packers on the market. It has the robustness and hang weight capability of any liner, therefore it can perform the role of both tools, simplifying operations and reducing costs
• Annular Isolation：The Meta Zonal Isolation MorphPacker? can be used to provide annular isolation between the open hole and the liner as an alternative to cement. Also, when run at the same time as cement, the packer can be used as a contingency, so if the cement job is of poor quality, full isolation will still be achieved thanks to the Zonal Isolation MorphPacker
• Cased Hole Production Packer：Operators worldwide, in both oil and gas, may have requirements for high performing V0 production packers. Deployed as any other work string set packer, the Permanent MorphPacker gives operators a single packer with an envelope that outperforms any on the market and can be used in a wide range of casing weights, simplifying inventory.
• Re-fracturing：The Frac MorphPacker can be used in cased hole re-fracturing applications with minimal loss of ID. Operators can isolate the existing perforations and then re-frac the well using standard plug and guns or ball drop sleeves. The Frac MorphPacker is significantly more affordable than competitive mechanical isolation methods and yet still provides large ID, allowing standard intervention equipment to be used.
• solate Perforations：Operators can use the Frac MorphPacker to isolate existing perforations or damaged casing. Two Frac MorphPackers can be run to straddle the section with standard flush joint pipe between, giving operators an isolation method that is both reliable and affordable, and still provides a large ID for future intervention.
