RKU General-Purpose String Disconnector
RKU General-Purpose String Disconnector

RKU General-Purpose String Disconnector
It is designed to set and disconnect a tubing string, to provide a movable pressure-tight connection between the tubing string and packer and anchor equipment in the production string as well as to retrieve this equipment.
APPLICATION
- recommended for multiple-zone production and multiple-zone injection;
- in injection, oil and gas production cased wells;
- remedial cementing and other technological operations that require disconnection of the tubing string from the downhole equipment;
- operations requiring a compensation for the tubing string axial movements and maintaining the pressure-tightness.
ADVANTAGES
- disconnection assembly can be actuated in three ways:
- after dropping a ball into the tubing and generating pressure inside the tubing;
- without dropping the ball by generating pressure inside the tubing or
- by generating pressure in the annulus;
- movable (up to 85.12 in) pressure-tight connection between the tubing string and packer and anchor equipment;
- this tool can be used multiply;
- using this tool for downhole well operations allows to reduce the workover time and material costs.
DESIGN FEATURES
- sealing assembly;
- spline joint for rotation transmission;
- disconnecting and fishing devices are combined in one RKU assembly.
