 Is used to compensate for tubing expansion /
contraction

 Three things to consider : -

- Maximum expansion due to tubing average
temperature (OPEN)
- Maximum contraction due to tubing average
temperature decrease (CLOSE)
- Contraction of the major string when the minor
string is held by the packer

 6 or 12 cycle opening sequence

 Tool can be locked in place while RIH to prevent

inadvertent shifting

 Insensitive to circulating rate

 Is operated by applied annulus pressure, once activated
the valve is permanently closed

 Installed directly above the PCT, valve can cut 7/32”

 Tool is operated by applied annulus pressure. Once
activated the valve closes but will open whenever
pressure above the valve exceeds annulus pressure

 Tool is usually ran directly above primary test valve

 The PORT tool is a single shot device
operated by annulus applied pressure
trapping a reference pressure in the PCT.
When pump pressure is bled-off, the relief
valve bleeds the reference pressure to 350 –
450 psi above the hydrostatic.
 Features : -
- Allows string to be run in tension
- Integral by-pass also FPM can be
added if required

 Hydraulic JAR is used whenever the packer or gun
gets stuck, when activated the JAR provides an
upward shock.
 Hydraulic JAR consists of two parts : -
- A spline mandrel attached to the stuck tool
- Housing which is connected to the
free tools
 Types of JAR : - JAR – C & JAR – F

The weight set on the packer compresses the rubber elements against the
walls of the casing creating a seal between the annulus and tubing.
