WELL INTERVENTION DRILLING & COMPLETIONS UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCES RESERVOIR OPTIMIZATION Polymer Injection into Gas Producing Well Single Set Inflatable Packer with 250 TE Element Location: Colombia CHALLENGE: An operator in Colombia had a gas producing well that was losing production into a thief zone below the producing interval. Isolation with a packer had to be achieved in open hole to isolate the gas production and allow a large volume of polymer to be pumped into the thief zone. The extremely low fluid level and 1,700 psi wellhead pressure challenged field operations to have a controlled, successful inflation of the inflatable packer. SOLUTION: TAM deployed and set a Single Set Inflatable Packer on coiled tubing in the open hole section to pump the planned 4,000 barrels of pol
