How the Packer Works (ball choke)
The packer is run on the work string, drillpipe or tubing with the “J” track control in the inflating position.
Drop a steel ball to seat at the choke. Pressure up to inflate the packer. See back page for alternate setting mechanisms.
Pick up and rotate a quarter turn to the right, then slack off weight. With the inflating and equalization port between PolyPak seals, packer element is isolated from pressure inside the work string.
Pressure up to shear the ball and choke, opening the mandrel through the packer.
Set down with about 2,000 lbs. at the tool. Rotate a quarter turn to the right and pick up to deflate the packer. Fluid drains into both the work string and into the annulus outside the packer, allowing the packer to deflate fully.
To reset the packer in the hole, pump a phenolic ball down to the remaining ball seat, and repeat the setting procedure. The phenolic ball will shear through the seat, again opening the mandrel through the packer.

TAM-J Applications–Vertical
Problem:
• Scale build-up in perforations
Solution:
• RunThru-Tubing
• Straddle and acidize individual perforationsets
Problem:
• Screen & gravel pack plugged
Solution:
• Perform multiple sets to selectively acidize screen
TAM-J Applications–Vertical
Problem:
• Leak in 22-inch casing or shoe
Solution:
• Perform multiple tests to determine exact depth of leak and squeeze cement to repair
Problem:
• Well requires P&A
• Corroded tubing
Solution:
• Perform multiple sets to locate leaks
• Squeeze perforations and spot annulus cement plugs
TAM-J Applications–Horizontal
Problem:
• Well producing excess water
Solution:
• Perform multiple production tests to determine water entry point
Problem:
• Multi-lateral well producing excess water
Solution:
• Selectively test each leg
TAM-J Applications–Horizontal
Problem:
• Severe lost circulation in lateral
Solution:
• Squeeze cement L/C zones
Problem:
• Low productivity due to formation damage
Solution:
• Perform multiple matrix acid treatments as required
