Corporate Profile TAM International manufactures a wide range of inflatable packers and accessories for geotechnical and hydrological well testing, grouting and completion applications. Inflatable packers are available for borehole sizes ranging from 11/2 inches through 30 inches, well depths to 25,000 feet and a wide range of temperature and differential pressure capacities. TAM has over 40 years of inflatable packer manufacturing and service experience. TAM’s Quality Program is certified to ISO 9001:2008 standards. A team of TAM personnel is available, worldwide, to assist you in the proper selection of an inflatable packer for your specific applications. A Choice of Packer Types TAM offers three distinct inflatable element designs to accommodate the wide range of applications in hole sizes, applied differential pressure, bottom hole temperature and project economics. An inflatable packer can achieve higher expansion than conventional packers and is designed with a long seal length for open hole applications. The inflatable packer does not contain “slips” and therefore can be used to seal in PVC and stainless casing without marring the inside diameter. Selection Criteria Packer Size: In general, the largest packer that can be run in the hole should be used. The lower the expansion ratio (Inflated OD/Run-in OD), the higher the differential pressure rating as shown in the specific charts for each product line. The charts provided do not take into account the effects of elevated temperature nor is the differential pressure rating based on the packer’s ability to resist movement, but rather its ability to seal at the rated pressure. TAM recommends that each application be reviewed by an experienced TAM specialist to assure the proper selection of the packer size and product type. Inflation Medium: TAM inflatable packers are designed to be inflated with either gas or liquid. The optimum inflation medium to use depends on the nature of the operations and resources available. Gas inflation is often used in deep, dry, or low fluid level holes. Even without hydrostatic pressure on the exterior of the packer element, once the gas pressure is released the inflation element will deflate. Gas is also used as the inflation medium in applications where large temperature fluctuations are expected. Another advantage is gas inflation simplifies most operations. SD Inflatable Packers The SD product line is the most economical tool available and is used in well conditions where the applied differential pressure is less than 500 psi (34 bar). LI Inflatable Packers The LI product line is rated for use in applications where applied differential pressure is less than 1,000 psi (69 bar). Application Information Required: In order for TAM to assist in the proper selection of an inflatable packer type and size, the following information is required. 1. Hole diameter at the proposed setting depth HD Inflatable Packers The HD product line is rated for well applications requiring high differential pressure capacity. Standard models are rated at 5,000 psi (345 bar) maximum applied differential pressure. Exact ratings of each product are defined later in this brochure. 2 2.

Hydrofracturing is a process in which water is pressured into the formation, to open cracks and crevices in the rock, so that water can more readily flow toward the well bore. Inflatable packers are used to isolate the applied pressure to specific areas of the well bore. Packers may be used singly or in tandem to accomplish this goal. Typically 1,000 to 2,500 PSI. is required to fracture a well with flow rates varying between 25 to 150 gallons per minute. For hydrofracturing (6” borehole), TAM manufactures a special 4.75” O.D. inflation element. For part numbers, dimensional and working pressure data, please refer to page 5. It is designed to be run numerous times without redressing or repair and possesses numerous performance advantages. To extend service life, the 4.75” O.D. inflation element utilizes a steel cable reinforcement laid on a bias to the tool axis. The cable reinforcement is wound in both directions for the entire length of the element and secured to the tooling connections. Nitrile rubber with special reinforcement in the stress areas forms both the outer seal and bladder parts. The Nitrile rubber’s high elasticity characteristics ensure a fast return to original shape when deflated. HD Packer for Hydrofracturing to Improve Water Yield Features: • Durable design for repeated sets Customers have reported that as many as 600 sets have been recorded with the inflation element continuing to function normally. • Fast inflation and deflation - Set and deflate in less than a minute. • Well suited for high pressure Hydrofracturing to pressures of 3900 PSI (269 BAR) can be achieved in a 6” bore hole. Refer to page “5” for part numbers. • Low volume inflation requirements Volume of inflation fluid required per packer in a 6” bore hole 2.2 gallons or 8.5 liters. • Easy to operate.

Run inflatable straddle test tool. Run wireline gauge & standing valve. Inflate and shut in for static bottom hole pressure. 2 Test Zone 3 Memory Pressure Gauge (optional) Pull wireline 4 gauge and standing valve. Initiate air lift procedure. Produce and sample flow stream. Lower wireline standing valve into seat and monitor pressure build up. 5 Release packers and reposition. Test additional zones as required. 11
