OPERATION
Run the Retrievamatic Cementer to setting depth on the tubing
string. The unloader, which automatically reverts to the open
position during running, allows circulation that is equal both
through and around the tool and this ensures that the hold down
buttons do not drag on the casing.
To set the Retrievamatic Cementer, turn the tubing 3/4 of a rotation
in the body, turn rightwards and apply set-down weight. This
results in the the right-hand rotation moving the body lock segment
out of the groove, and also in the body releasing the body to move
downward; the application of set-down weight closes the unloader,
sets the slips and packs off the packing elements.
Many times it is hard to get enough set-down weight at the tool in
deviated wells, due to the fractional drag between the casing and the
tubing. In these cases it is suggested that the tubing be landed with
zero pressure, and after this the annulus alternately pressured to the
allowable maximum and bled off to zero. This sequence should be
repeated a few times. The result of this procedure is the exertion of a
hydraulic force against the tubing string and in the process of
breaking static friction, additional tubing weight is moved down the
tool. Pressure should be exerted to the tubing string in order to
produce a pressure differential in favor of the tubing and impel the
hold-down buttons out.
In order to reduce the force required to release the packer and increase the useful life of the pistons, it is
necessary to equalize the pressure annular with the pressure differential in the string, permitting the
retraction of the pistons. Then raise the string to release the packer.
In order to be released, the packer must be prepared outside the well, by applying torque to the right and
weight. To return to the well, rotate ¾ of a turn to the left in the tool and at the same time raise the string.
