Abstract
Disclosed are a variety of methods and systems related to zonal isolation in wellbores, and more particularly, swellable packer assemblies. In embodiments, a swellable packer includes a base conduit, a reinforcement element disposed annularly about the base conduit, that includes an annular section, a stabilizing foot to stabilize the annular section relative to the base conduit, and a swellable material annularly disposed outside the base conduit and in contact with the reinforcement element. In other embodiments, the swellable packer is introduced in a run-in-hole position into a borehole or wellbore, wherein the swellable material absorbs fluid and expands, thereby applying a gripping force to a region of the borehole or wellbore to seal off an annulus around the swellable packer.
