Abstract
A downhole injection tool has an injection unit with a first expandable cup adapted to provide a first seal against the inside wall, and a second expandable cup adapted to provide a second seal against the inside wall. The two cups, in an expanded state, together define an isolated zone of the annular space. At least one pipe element extends in a longitudinal direction between the two cups, the pipe element providing a fluid passage between an inlet arranged in one end of the pipe element and an outlet arranged in the pipe element in between the cups, the second expandable cup being slidably connected with the pipe element and displaced in the longitudinal direction away from the first expandable cup under the influence of the injection fluid injected into the isolated zone, whereby a distance d between the two cups is increased. The injection unit also has a retainer sleeve slidably arranged around the expandable cups to prevent unintentional expansion of the expandable cups during insertion of the downhole injection tool. The retainer sleeve is slidable in the longitudinal direction, and the expandable cups are released by movement of the retainer sleeve in the longitudinal direction.
