EXTERNAL CASING PACKER (ECP)
Continuous Mandrel ECP assemblies are designed with packer elements in 4 Foot (1.22m), 10 Foot (3.05m), and 20 Foot (6.10m) standard lengths. Rubicon packer elements soundly conform to irregular or washed-out open hole diameters. Steel reinforcement slats are used within the elements to ensure that the ECP self-centers itself in vertical, deviated, or horizontal wellbores.
FEATURES
The continuous one-piece mandrel eliminates the need for internal threaded connections
Mandrel specifications match to the casing used in the well
The Valve system is located above the packer element
Valve operation is not affected by unpredictable pressure changes below the element
Superior anchoring system prevents element rotation, and packer shoe travel, while tools are run into the well
Rubicon ECPs can be manufactured with materials suitable for H2S and CO2 environments
Shear pins in the valves may be easily adjusted in the field, allowing the operator greater flexibility when well conditions change
