The Swellpacker cable system is an annular isolation cable feed-through packer for both openhole and cased-hole completions that turns around the conventional approach to running feed-through lines through completion packers by completely eliminating the requirement to cut, strip and splice both control and communication lines for the feed-through process. Instead, the Swellpacker cable system is manufactured with custom molded grooves through the element to fit. the control lines that will be run through it. A slit is then cut in the element down to the depth of the groove so it can be accessed during the wellsite installation. An engineered running tool is used at the wellsite during installation, and the control lines are simply fed continuously into the element by the tool as the packer is run through the rotary.
