GENERAL PRODUCT SHEET
TAM-J – Multiple Set Inflatable Packer System
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
TAM-J is an inflatable packer that utilizes TAM’s field-proven, multiple set
setting mechanism. The tool is able to perform multiple inflate/deflate cycles in
one run, allowing a wide array of applications. Depending on the configuration
of the tool, it can be run on a variety of work strings in vertical, deviated, or
horizontal wellbores, and set in cased or open hole conditions ranging in
diameter from 2.38 in. to 30 in. (60 mm to 762 mm).
The tool is operated by generating differential pressure inside of the work string
to inflate the packer. A variety of inflating mechanisms are available, some of
which would not require circulating a ball to seat in order to generate differential
pressure. Once the packer is fully inflated and locked set, fluid can be flowed Release Spring
through the ID of the tool to test or stimulate the zone below the packer.
Accessories can be run with the tool to retain certain fluids in the work string
while running in hole, such as acid or fracturing fluid.

TAM-J – Multiple Set Inflatable Packer System
SETTING MECHANISM OPTIONS:

The Collet Choke Kit mechanism allows multiple sets by circulating a ball
to its seat for each inflation cycle. It provides the largest flow capacity of
any of the setting mechanisms. The setting ball seals inside the honed ID
of the control tube extension and is held there by means of the fingers of
the collet. The normal downward movement of the control tube allows the
collet to open as it enters an undercut area in the control tube. This
opening action then allows the ball to pass through the control tube,
opening a flow path.
The Standing Valve Kit is used for special testing programs, such as
hydraulic fracturing stress testing, when it is important to protect the
target formation from pressure (e.g., shearing the setting ball) prior to the
test. After the packers are inflated and pressure in the work string has
been released, the valve is lifted by wireline, opening through the
mandrel. This option can be added to the bottom of a pressure gauge,
with a port through a standing valve for surface readout of pressure and
temperature gauge data. This technique improves the quality of
information and reduces rig time during well testing.
The Auto Piston Kit mechanism requires no balls. The tool is always in
either the inflating or the treating position. This mechanism is designed
for multi-set operations. It is particularly reliable in horizontal applications
as there is no requirement to place a ball onto a seat. This option
eliminates the force loading of the inflating pressure versus ball seat area.
