Pack Off Stage Tool
The Pack Off Stage Tool (POST) combines the functionality of a standard external casing packer with the operations of a stage tool all into one tool. This provides a mechanical barrier with the ability to split cement into separate stages as well.
Features and Benefits
- The POST is unique in the fact that unlike the standard casing packer, the POST operates mechanically versus hydraulically, allowing some freedom during casing pump down
- It also eliminates the need to land a plug to operate the tool, because you just need to drop the opening cone to inflate the packer portion of the POST
- The rest of the tool operates like a standard hydraulic stage tool, providing the best of both worlds
