Bypass adapter for use with a packer tool on a production tubing positioned in a casing string

A bypass adapter for use with a production tubing positioned in a casing string, the bypass adapter comprising:

• an outer assembly comprising:
• an inlet sub including a tubular body, an inner bore, an outer surface, and a plurality of injection ports extending between the inner bore below a coupling to the top sub and the outer surface;
• a packer tool coupled to the inlet sub, the packer tool including an inner bore, and a packer element capable of sealing against the casing string;
• a bottom sub including a tubular body coupled to the packer tool, an inner bore, a seal located in the inner bore, an outer surface, and a plurality of exit ports extending between the inner bore above the seal and the outer surface;
• and
• an inner assembly coupled to the outer assembly, the inner assembly comprising:
• a top sub including a tubular body connectable to the production tubing;
• an inner mandrel coupled to the top sub, the inner mandrel being sized to be positioned in the inner bore of the packer tool, and in the inner bore of the bottom sub in engagement with the seal of the bottom sub;
• wherein a first fluid can flow between the production tubing and the casing string, through the plurality of injection ports of the inlet sub, in a space located outside the inner mandrel and inside the inner bore of the packer tool, and through the plurality of exit ports in the bottom sub, and
• wherein a second fluid can flow inside the inner mandrel and into the production tubing.
