Abstract
A resettable packer system for pumping operations includes an inflatable packer that expands between the resettable packer system and a tubing wall or a casing wall, thereby creating a seal in a well and a pump that inflates the inflatable packer at a desired depth within the well when activated. The resettable packer system further includes an inner sleeve that includes ports for a fluid to pass through, an outer sleeve that is connected to the pump and creates a sealed fluid chamber with the inflatable packer when ports of the outer sleeve and the ports of the inner sleeve are misaligned. In addition, the inner sleeve slides axially along an inner surface of the outer sleeve, thereby aligning or misaligning the ports of the outer sleeve with the ports of the inner sleeve. Further, the inflatable packer contracts when the pump is inactive.
