Slip on Hydraulic Packer

A method of providing a slip on hydraulic packer comprising:

• providing a seal assembly, the assembly comprising a piston selectively movable within a cylinder, an end of the piston being connected to a first end of a sealing element, a second end of the sealing element being connected to a biasing member connected to a stop member;
• connecting the seal assembly to an exterior of a tubular with a first retaining element;
• and
• connecting the seal assembly to the exterior of the tubular with a second retaining element.

A slip on hydraulic packer kit comprising:

• a piston positioned within a cylinder, wherein the piston is movable within the piston upon an application of a predetermined amount of hydraulic pressure within the cylinder;
• a sealing element having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to an end of the piston;
• a backup member connected to the second end of the sealing element;
• a stop member;
• a biasing member connected between the backup member and the stop member,
• a first retaining member;
• and
• a second retaining member, wherein the first and second retaining members are configured to selectively connect the slip on hydraulic packer kit to a tubular and wherein the application of the predetermined amount of hydraulic pressure within the cylinder moves the piston towards the stop member to move the sealing element from an unset position to a set position.

A method of treating a borehole comprising:

• attaching to a tubular a hydraulically actuated packer system having one or more retaining elements for selectively connecting the packer system to an exterior surface of the tubular, the packer system comprising a piston selectively moveable within a cylinder, a sealing element having a first end connected to an end of the piston and a second end connected to a backup member, and a biasing member connected between a stop member and the backup member;
• applying a predetermined hydraulic pressure to the piston within the cylinder to move the sealing element from an unset position to a set position by advancing the piston towards the stop member;
• and
• wherein a first zone of the borehole is isolated from a second zone.
