The packer further includes a housing disposed around a portion of the mandrel creating an annulus area between the mandrel and the housing, the housing is disposed adjacent to the packer element to squeeze the packer element and axially expand the annulus area when fluid flows through the radially directed port and into the annulus area above a fluid pressure threshold. The packer can be included in a downhole assembly having an upper packer and a lower packer. A method of using the packer includes placing the packer into a wellbore to seal one zone from another and pumping fluid into the packer to set the packer element against a casing in the wellbore.
