1.0 FEATURES
• The Texas Oil Tools DSA6 Side Door Stripper Packer is designed to pack-off on coiled tubing as
it is stripped in and out of the well, at working pressures up to 15,000 psi. This design permits the
replacement of the packing elements and bushings through the open "window" below the injector.
Changing packers is always easier, but it is particularly advantageous when changing packers with
tubing in the well.
• The side door design permits replacement of the packer, energizer and non-extrusion rings by
hydraulically exposing an open portal through which these elements may be changed with tubing
in the well.
2.0 SERVICE
H2S SERVICE - All well fluid wetted alloy components to NACE MR-01-75, with Viton and
Poly-Myte seals. Hydraulic seals are Nitrile. Operating temperature range -20°F. to +200°F. Note:
seals and pack- off elements are available for higher temperatures.
NORTH SEA SERVICE - In addition to the NACE Specification s and API requirements additional
Charpy Impact and NDE are carried out. A Design Review and Certificate of Compliance by DNV,
Lloyds, or Bureau Veritas are furnished with the Data Book.
ARCTIC -50°F H2S SERVICE - All well fluid wetted alloy components to NACE MR-01-75, with low
temperature o-rings and special Poly-Myte seals. Charpy Impact Tests at -50°F and NDE on all
parts required by API 6A. Operating temperature range -50°F. to +200°F.
PREMATURE PACKER WEAR - The internal wear bushings above the packers are extra long, for
better centering of the coiled tubing and longer wear life. The single most frequent cause of
premature packer wear or failure, is worn bushings. At very low well and hydraulic pressures, worn
bushings may be useable. At higher pressures, it is essential that the non-extrusion rings and
packer bushings fit closely around the tubing to prevent packer extrusion. Bushings must be
replaced frequently to minimize any extrusion gaps.
Close BOP pipe rams to control well pressure and vent residual well pressure that may remain
between the DSA6 stripper and the BOP. Back out the two lock screws and open wide both doors
(26). Pressure up the retract port and fully retract piston (8) exposing packers and seal (12).
Remove upper non-extrusion ring (14) while supporting packer bushing (13). Remove both halves
of energizer (16) to expose packer (15). Remove packer, lower non-extrusion ring (14) and packer
bushing (13). Inspect packer bushing and lower bushing (30) for wear and seal for damage.
Replace as necessary.

Re-install lower bushing and non-extrusion ring. Install packer bushing into piston and support while
installing new packer, energizer and upper non-extrusion ring. Pressure up on upper pack-off port
and extend piston down over pack-off and seal until doors can be closed around piston above step
ring (17). Rotate the lock screws to the locked position. Pressurize pack-off port to energize packer
as necessary. Equalize well pressure above the rams in the BOP and open rams.
ASSEMBLY - Reverse above Disassembly Procedure in same sequence and complete second
portion of Packer Replacement Procedure.
A bushing installation tool (43) is available to aid in installing the interlocking bushings.
6.0 SPECIFICATIONS
After every job, remove the packer and inspect all accessible seals. Remove all trace of well fluids.
Once a month, remove the packers and bushings. Thoroughly clean all of the items. Grease and
assemble to proper technical manual.
After two years strip down and perform NDE on parts exposed to well fluids, replace any worn parts.
Every four years in service strip down perform NDE on all critical items. Replace any worn parts.
Two Year NDE requirements:
All parts exposed to the well fluids will have to be inspected by NDE methods. The preferred NDE
test would be a wet magnetic particle testing. Not all parts can be tested in this method. If the parts
can not be inspected with MPI then a dye penetrant test will have to be conducted.

The bushing extension assembly is designed to extend the top of the stripper packer closer to the
chains. This will reduce the unsupported length of the coiled tubing and thereby reduce the risk of
buckling the coiled tubing above the Stripper Packer. This extension will extend the top of the
stripper packer approximately 2.75".
