Liner Top Packer and Latch Seal Assembly

ACTS Liner Top Packer is a hydraulically actuated packer that hangs the liner string in the casing, provides isolation in the intermediate casing, and acts as an anchored receptacle for drilling, fracturing, and production strings. ACTS Latch Seal Assembly effectively anchors and seals into the liner top packer’s receptacle providing flexibility for changing tubing strings to surface. Both equipment designs are compact and reduce friction associated with bending preventing premature setting which results in reliable deployment through aggressive build sections in the wellbore. The packer is proven to effectively function in diverse casing weight ranges and incorporates a specially designed element antiextrusion back-up ring system differentially rated to 69 MPa (10,000 psi) resulting in reliable isolation. The latch seal assembly incorporates a free point feature that enables effective tubing string disconnection from the liner top packer even in highly deviated build sections. The packer and latch seal assembly are available in multiple thread and metallurgy configurations to be equivalent to required liner specifications for varying downhole operating environments.
