Inflatable Packer System Market:Overview
A packeris an expandable plug used to insulate sections in a borehole orwell. A specific packer needs to be selected according to the application forsuccessful and reasonable cost. Primary considerations for selection of packerinclude size and differential pressure. The construction material needs to beexamined in adverse physical and chemical conditions. An inflatable packer isused to expand the packer element against the casing or bore well.Inflatable packer systems have been used since 1940 in the oil and gasindustry. An inflatable packer system is used for applications such asgeotechnical testing, pressure grouting, mineral exploration drilling, damconstruction and repair, mining applications, and oil and gas well testing.
Inflatablepacker systems have high expansion ratio and high pressure rating. They havelong sealing sections which help conform the uneven sides in boreholes. Minimaloutside diameter and large interior diameter arekey advantages compared to other packer system. The inflatable packertechnology has gained popularity due to the increase in demand for deeperunderground mining activities in remote locations. This leads to thedevelopment of tools to enable deep, high pressure permeability testing androckburst mitigation. Oilfield equipment are used for deep underground drillingactivities, where control of high pressure water flow is required.

Inflatable Packer System Market: Key Segments
In termsof type, the inflatablepacker system market can be divided into sliding-end packers, fixed-endpacker, and others. Sliding-end packer allow the sliding of element gland onone end. The packer assembly consists of an O-ring seal, which allows one endof the element to slide on the base plate, as the diameter of element increasesduring inflation. The sliding-end packer is preferred for high pressureapplications or open borehole where the pressure difference between the upperand lower limit of the packer ranges between 100 to 5,000 psi. Additionally,high expansion ratio can be offered for fully reinforced elements. Fixed-endpacker consist of rubber element ends fixed to a pipe mandrel. Fixed packersystem comprise of partially reinforced element, non-reinforced element, andfully reinforced element. The partial reinforcement packer element stopextrusion into the annular area, which is close to the packer ends of theelement; however, the element tend to extrude into borehole fractures. Theothers segment includes mechanical packer. Mechanical packer are also known assurface set packer. These are mostly used for hard smooth rock bored holes orcased wells. The mechanical packer are inexpensive, have limited expansionrange, and used for low pressure applications.
