Completion Methods-Mitchell Industries
Multiple Zone Stack Pack System. The Mitchell multiple zone stack pack system is commonly used when two or more intervals are completed in the same well, in one operation. The initial step is to set a sump packer, on wireline or tubing, below the lowermost zone. The lower zone is then perforated and prepped for the prepacking process.
