15,000 PSI Packing Kit for #10 Style Pressure Setting Tool - Crude Oil Compatible Redress Kit with Wireline Adapter Kits (WAK)
-
Product Introduction
The 15,000 PSI Packing Kit for #10 Style Pressure Setting Tools is a high-integrity sealing solution designed for the critical maintenance and redress of downhole completion tools. This kit is engineered to restore the pressure-containing capabilities of industry-standard #10 style setting tools, which are used to set bridge plugs, packers, and cement retainers. Every component in this redress kit is precision-molded to meet the extreme demands of wireline operations, ensuring that the tool performs reliably under ultra-high-pressure conditions. The inclusion of components for the Wireline Adapter Kits (WAK) ensures a seamless interface between the setting tool and the downhole hardware.

Material Selection and Technical Comparison
Material science is the foundation of a successful 15,000 PSI seal. We offer three primary elastomeric configurations to match your specific wellbore chemistry and thermal profile:
2.1. Premium 90 Durometer NBR (Nitrile)
Best For: Standard crude oil and water-based drilling fluids.
Temperature Range: -30 degrees F to +250 degrees F.
Advantages: Excellent abrasion resistance and high mechanical strength at a cost-effective price point for moderate temperature wells.
2.2. High-Performance HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile)
Best For: Sour service (H2S), CO2 injection wells, and high-temperature crude.
Temperature Range: -25 degrees F to +325 degrees F.
Advantages: Superior thermal stability and chemical resistance compared to standard NBR. It maintains its elasticity longer in harsh downhole environments.
2.3. Extreme FKM (Fluorocarbon)
Best For: High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) environments and aggressive chemical treatments.
Temperature Range: -10 degrees F to +400 degrees F.
Advantages: Exceptional resistance to heat and a wide range of chemicals, including aromatics and acids often found in complex completion fluids.
2.4. Anti-Extrusion Backup Rings
Material: Virgin PTFE, Glass-Filled PTFE, or PEEK.
Role: In 15,000 PSI applications, rubber O-rings alone will fail due to extrusion. Our kits include rigid backup rings that prevent the elastomer from being forced into the clearance gaps between tool components.

Operating Environment and Suitability
This redress kit is designed for high-stakes well intervention and completion scenarios:
-
Tool Compatibility: Fully compatible with standard #10 style pressure setting tools used globally.
-
Pressure Rating: Static sealing integrity tested up to 15,000 PSI.
-
Media Compatibility: Optimized for crude oil, natural gas, completion brines, and oil-based muds.
-
Operational Depth: Suitable for deep-water and ultra-deep terrestrial wells where high hydrostatic pressures are present.
-
Key Features of the Redress Kit
-
Full System Redress: Includes all necessary O-rings, friction rings, and backup rings for both the setting tool and the Wireline Adapter Kit (WAK).
-
Precision Engineering: Each seal is manufactured to ISO 3601 standards to ensure a perfect fit, reducing the risk of tool malfunction during the setting sequence.
-
Crude Oil Compatibility: Specialized rubber compounds prevent swelling and degradation when exposed to hydrocarbons for extended periods.
-
Vacuum Packaging: All kits are vacuum-sealed to prevent ozone degradation and ensure the seals are fresh when they reach the rig site.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
5.1. Why do I need a 15,000 PSI rated kit instead of a standard 10,000 PSI kit?
Standard 10k kits often use lower-grade backup rings or softer elastomers. At 15,000 PSI, the pressure is high enough to deform standard materials, leading to seal bypass or tool jamming. Our 15k kits use higher durometer materials and reinforced PEEK or filled PTFE backup rings specifically designed to resist extrusion under extreme loads.
5.2. How can I ensure the kit is compatible with H2S (Sour Gas)?
Standard Nitrile (NBR) will fail in H2S environments through a process called embrittlement. If your well contains H2S, you must select our HNBR or FKM material options. These are specifically formulated to resist chemical attack from hydrogen sulfide.
5.3. What causes a setting tool to leak even after a redress?
The most common causes are surface scratches on the tool's inner cylinder, improper lubrication during assembly, or using seals that have exceeded their shelf life. We recommend a thorough inspection of the metal surfaces and the use of the high-grade O-ring grease provided in our premium kits.
5.4. Is this kit compatible with all #10 style tools?
Yes, our kit is designed based on the universal geometry of the #10 style tool. It is an industry-standard configuration, ensuring it fits the majority of tools provided by major service companies without the need for modification.
5.5. What is the shelf life of these seals?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, NBR and HNBR kits have a shelf life of 3 to 5 years. FKM kits can last up to 10 years. We recommend rotating your stock to ensure the newest kits are always available for the most critical high-pressure runs.
5.6. Do you offer custom kits for specialized Wireline Adapter Kits (WAK)?
Yes. While our standard kit covers the most common WAK configurations, as a manufacturer, we can include or exclude specific components based on your unique tool string requirements.
