Patent ID: 11933131

Abstract:
A packer assembly (2) for deforming casing (4) is described. Packer assembly (2) comprises a first body portion (8) removably connectable to a second body portion (10). An elastomeric packer element (12) is disposed on the first body portion (8) and is configured to be deformed into an outwardly deployed condition in response to actuation of at least one piston (14) disposed on the second body portion (10). A locking means (16) is disposed on the first body portion (8) and is configured to retain the elastomeric packer element (12) in the outwardly deployed condition after it has deformed casing (4). The first body portion (8) can be disconnected from the second body portion (10) after the elastomeric packer element is deployed to deform casing (4) to enable retrieval of the second body portion (10) from the wellbore.
