Abstract
A wet buckle packer includes a first disk and a second disk offset from and axially aligned with the first disk. A mandrel, elastomeric expansion boot, and brake are disposed between and axially aligned with the first and second disks. The mandrel includes a tapered outer surface and the brake includes a tapered inner surface abutting the tapered inner surface of the mandrel. The first disk is configured to move axially toward the second disk from a first position to a second position. In the second position, the first disk causes: the expansion boot to compress axially and expand radially into engagement with an inner surface of the pipeline; and the tapered inner surface of the brake to move axially along the tapered outer surface of the stationary mandrel to cause the brake to move radially outward into engagement with the inner surface of the pipeline.
