Innovative through-tubing cement packer technique
Cement packers have been used for many years to access behind-pipe reserves above existing completions in wells with multiple completion targets. The basic function of the cement packer is to create a new annular barrier between an existing production packer and the surface. Many cement packer operations are performed with coiled tubing (CT) or hydraulic workover (HWO) units. The full-length paper presents a technique that can be used to perform a cement packer operation using only wireline (slickline and electric line) and pumping services.
