RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE BEFORE RUN-IN:
1. Run a casing scraper (if necessary) to clean inner wall of casing and free any debris or obstructions.
2. Circulate well to clean well of debris and junk.
3. Drift casing i.d. 80-100 feet below setting depth with full o.d. gage ring and junk basket to insure no restrictions or debris
exist.
4. Casing should have 100% cement bond before installing packer in well.
PACKER OPTIONS:
Alpha Model J & L packer bodies and bottom shoes are manufactured from several materials to ensure compatibility with
most well environments. Accessories run below the packer including millout extensions, seal bore extensions, connector
subs, tandem subs and crossover subs should be manufactured from similar materials to ensure pressure ratings and integrity
of packer hook up are maintained. Packer bodies are normally manufactured from ductile iron or low alloy steel heat treated
to a maximum hardness of 22 Rockwell "C" and conform to NACE standard MR-01-75-94 for H2S service. Low carbon
steels for non H2S applications requiring higher strength levels are available and chrome alloys containing 9% or 13%
chrome are available for applications requiring resistance to CO2 corrosion. Packing elements are also available upon request
in several compounds such as HNBR, Viton and Aflas to ensure compatibility with most well environments.
Alpha Model J permanent packers manufactured for "standard service" are normally rated for 300 degrees F @ 10,000 psi
differential pressure. Some sizes are rated less than 10,000 psi. Alpha Model L permanent packers manufactured for
"standard service" are rated for 300 degrees F @ 7,500 psi differential pressure. Contact your Alpha Oil Tool representative
for more information.
1. Lubricate all threads and sliding surfaces. Wrench only were indicated and file away wrench marks.
2. Screw release stud (item 13) into stud bushing (item 11) until it bottoms on dowel pin. Place mandrel (item 15) in vise
below shoulder then screw release stud into mandrel until it bottoms on dowel pin. Tighten on upper end of stud bushing
with pliers to insure parts are properly made up (caution: do not over tighten release stud).
3. Place body (item 14) in vise then slide release stud assembly (step 2) through top end of body until stud bushing bottoms
on shoulder inside body. Align slot on stud bushing with tapped hole in body then install socket head set screw (item 12).
Screw adjuster bushing (item 10) in body until it bottoms to aid in assembly. Note: left hand threads.
4. Slide split ring retainer (item 16) over upper end of release sleeve (item 18) in direction shown. Slide release sleeve into
lower end of body until shoulder on release sleeve is flush with end of body. Apply grease around shoulder area then
place split rings (item 17) on release sleeve. Slide split ring retainer over split rings then make up to lower end of body
wrench tight. Push release sleeve into body until it bottoms then rotate until slots align with pins in body.
5. Place gage ring (item 22) over release sleeve square threads. Screw mandrel guide (item 19) on mandrel and expand
release sleeve until square threads are tight against gage ring. Back off on mandrel guide far enough to slide gage ring off
threads. Screw lock bushing (item 20) against mandrel guide then install socket head set screw (item 21).
6. An optional stinger sub for holding the flapper valve in the open position is available upon request.

3. Screw mandrel adapter (item 8) into adjuster bushing (item 10) then install socket head set screw (item 9).
4. Screw adjuster bushing into body until it bottoms then install socket head set screw (item 9).
5. Screw tension mandrel spring (item 7) on the first few threads of the mandrel adapter then screw release sleeve assembly
into the lower end of baker no.10 wireline setting tool.
6. Slide gage ring over threads of release sleeve for final check.

Alpha Model J & L permanent production packers may be run on electric wireline utilizing a Baker model e-4 wireline
pressure setting assembly (or equivalent) and Alpha Model B wireline setting equipment. A casing collar locator (CCL),
Baker wireline pressure setting tool, mast unit, and an electric line unit with single conductor cable will be needed to install
the packer. The mast unit will require a sufficient height to suspend the lubricator system while the packer is hoisted up into
the lubricator. Measurements should be recorded from the center of the CCL to the top sealing element and from the cable
head to the bottom of the packer hook-up. Also, record the igniter and power charge lot numbers. Check zero and run packer
in hole at a speed no higher than 150 feet per minute, being careful to slow down when approaching tight spots in the casing,
continue running packer several feet below setting depth. Pick up slowly to setting depth, correlate log, fire igniter and allow
2-3 minutes for packer to set. The electric line should then be slacked off several feet and weight indicator drop which
indicates the packer has been set. Pick-up slowly until setting equipment clears packer. Continue out of the well at a
moderate speed. Do not tag packer.
Alpha Model J & L permanent production packers may be run on tubing utilizing a Baker Model J hydraulic setting assembly
(or equivalent) and Alpha Model B wireline setting equipment. Setting the packer on tubing can be particularly useful in
high -angle, deviated wells such as those drilled offshore. The packer is run at a moderate running speed until the setting
depth is reached (no faster than 30 seconds per 90 foot stand). Be certain tubing is free of debris and excessive scale. All
tubing should be rabbited to insure that the tripping ball will pass through it. Use slow starts and stops when moving tubing
string “no jerking” and avoid unnecessary right-hand rotation of the tubing string. Carefully add the tubing tally to confirm
desired setting depth. Mark tubing with chalk. Hook up pump and establish circulation slowly (not more than 1-1/2 bbl per
minute or 500 psig differential pressure). This action will clear unwanted scale and debris from the tubing bore and assure
that the tripping ball will be able to travel to the ball seat. Stop circulation and drop the tripping ball. The ball should fall at
about 200 feet per minute. If the tripping ball is to be circulated down, calculate the tubing capacity and stop displacement 5
bbl short and let ball gravitate to the ball seat. Apply pump pressure to produce necessary setting force required to set packer
(4-1/2 through 5-1/2 packers shear at 33,000 pounds and 7” and larger shear at 55,000 pounds). Pick-up slowly until setting
equipment clears packer. Continue out of well at a moderate speed. Do not tag packer.
Alpha Model J & L permanent production packers may be removed from the well bore by utilizing a Baker Model “CJ”
packer milling tool (or equivalent) which is designed to mill over and retrieve the packer. This tool contains an inner
mandrel, with a catch sleeve on the lower end, which extends through and below the packer body during the milling
operation. After the slips and packing element have been milled up, the catch sleeve will catch the packer body and it will be
removed with the milling tool. If a hook-up requires that the seal bore extension be run directly below the packer in order to
retain a continuous seal bore, the Baker Model “CJ” packer milling tool may not be used to mill-up and recover the packer.
Also, it is not a good practice to run a millout extension below a seal bore extension because special long stingers are
required on the packer milling tool. This can lead to stuck or twisted-off stingers. In these situations it is recommended to
use a packer milling tool that latches into the upper end of the packer bore and has a catch mandrel that telescopes upward
within the milling tool to mill over and retrieve this type of packer hook-up. A baker model “CC” packer milling tool can be
used to mill over a permanent packer and push it to the bottom of the well.
