    摘要: A technique facilitates utilization of a packer (34) in a borehole (32) or within other tubular structures. The packer may be constructed for mounting about a generally tubular base pipe (36). The packer generally comprises a metal sleeve (40) combined with extremities (44) located at each axial end of the metal sleeve. The metal sleeve (40) maintains a seal once expanded to a surrounding wellbore wall, e.g. a casing wall. For example, the metal sleeve (40) may be combined with an elastomer along its exterior, the elastomer sealing against the surrounding wellbore wall when the metal sleeve is radially expanded. Additionally, a device, e.g. a valve (62), is employed to control the pressures acting on the metal sleeve. For example, the device may be in the form of a valve operable (62) to control pressures acting on the metal sleeve (40) while miming-in-hole, during expansion of the metal sleeve, and after setting of the packer.

    摘要: A technique facilitates use of a packer in a borehole or within other tubular structures. The packer may be constructed with a tubing, a metal sealing element mounted around the tubing, and a differential pressure valve system. The metal sealing element may be expanded under fluid pressure for sealing engagement with a surrounding wall surface. Additionally, the differential pressure valve system is placed in fluid communication with the interior of the metal sealing element and comprises a plurality of valves which operate automatically to increase pressure within the metal sealing element when certain pressure differentials occur. The differential pressure valve system enables the packer to hold against higher differential pressures and also may be constructed so the packer is less sensitive to thermal variations.
