Slipover Packers
AGE Inflatable Slipover Packers are ideal for sealing gravel packed screens into casing. A Slipover Packer comprises a short, centralised length of stainless steel pipe with lead-in and lead-out cones, an internal landing ring, a standard external inflatable packer to seal against the casing and an internal ‘M’ packer to seal on the outside of the screen riser pipe. It is installed and inflated using an AGE installation tool run on drill pipe.

AGE inflatable packers have an advantage over similar products - they are able to be deflated and
returned to the surface of the well at any time, enabling gravel pac k top-ups after test pumping, or even after years of pumping. Once at the surface, the valves are reset and the slipover packer is ready for re-deployment in the well for continued service.
