Type 778-100 PackerStage Cementing Collar*
This widely accepted Davis product combines an inflatable packer and a stage cementing collar into a singular unit. The stage collar portion of this tool uses the same sleeve and mechanical systems as the field-proven Davis Type 778 Stage Cementing Collar.

The packer portion of this tool uses the same element design as the field proven Davis Type 100 Integral Casing Packer. This element consists of an inner tube housed and protected by continuous, mechanically end anchored, spring steel reinforcing strips that are leafed on top of each other. These strips are encased in an oil-resistant outer rubber. Expansion is obtained by injecting fluid into the inner tube. This injection forces partial unleafing of the steel strips which in turn stretches the outer rubber until it effects a full length seal against the bore it is run in, whether cased or open hole. While the packer is expanding, the bottom end of the element is drawn up on a ratchet type locking mechanism. This feature is intended to keep the element mechanically expanded so it can provide some form of support in the event of hydraulic failure. Once inflation pressure is reached, simultaneous sealing of the fluid injection inlets and opening of the cementing ports occur. This action allows the immediate introduction of fluid to the annulus after the packer is set. The inflation of the packer also serves to center the tool in the well bore, leading to uniform distribution of cement as it exits the casing.

Although the combination packer stage collar serves two purposes, it is only one tool. This means that it can be serviced by one person, which eliminates the cost of the second person who would be required if a stage collar and inflatable packer were individually purchased from two separate companies. The Davis Type 778-100 Packer Stage Cementing Collar has multiple applications. It can be used to: Keep the hydrostatic head of second stage cement off first-stage cement. Keep the hydrostatic head of second stage cement off pressure sensitive zones below it. Keep cement from falling around pre-drilled or slotted liners. Selectively place cement across widely separated zones of interest. Prevent gas migration that can ruin primary cement jobs and lead to annular gas problems at the surface and expensive squeeze work.
