Downhole packer suitable for smart well completion

Abstract

An upper connector, a lower connector, and an inner tube, adapted to allow the passage of hydraulic control lines and/or electrical cables internally to a packer mandrel, are installed without interference with the passage of tools or flow. The conventional packer is transformed by allowing control from the surface. Hydraulic equipment (sliding sleeve valves) or transmitting/receiving data from flow rate, pressure and temperature sensors (PDG—Permanent Downhole Gauge) are positioned in the production or injection string (30) below the packer. The packer includes an upper adapter, an lower adapter, and an inner tube, through which control lines or electrical cables internally pass.
