Patent ID: 6955216

Claim:
A device for injecting a fluid into an earth formation surrounding a wellbore, comprising a body suitable to be arranged in the wellbore and being provided with means for connecting the body to a tubing, a fluid chamber for storage of said fluid, and a pair of inflatable packers arranged to isolate a portion of the wellbore between the packers from the remainder of the wellbore upon inflation of the packers, the body further being provided with an outlet port located between the packers for flow of fluid from the fluid chamber to outside the device, means for inflating the packers upon the occurrence of a primary fluid pressure in the tubing, and means for ejecting fluid from the fluid chamber via the outlet port to outside the device upon the occurrence of a secondary fluid pressure in the tubing, wherein the secondary fluid pressure is higher than the primary fluid pressure and wherein the means for inflating the packers comprises a first conduit system providing fluid communication between the tubing and the packers, wherein the means for ejecting fluid from the fluid chamber comprises a second conduit system providing fluid communication between the tubing and the fluid chamber, the second conduit system being provided with a shear disk which shears at the occurence of the secondary pressure in the tubing and which prevents said fluid communication between the tubing and the fluid chamber prior to shearing.
