Packers are considered to be one of the main equipment included in the class of oilfield equipment. They are mainly used to disconnect layers from each other and to isolate the production pipeline from the environment during preventive maintenance work in wells. Rubber is used as the main material to ensure compaction in packers. Since these equipment operate in complex operating conditions, their compaction criteria should be studied depending on the parameters of the operating conditions. Since compaction is obtained at the expense of rubber, the physical and mechanical characteristics of rubber should be taken into account when calculating the compactor. In the article were analyzed construction and main design parameters of the hydraulic compression packer seals. The calculation methodology has been given and worked out graphical relationships between some physical and mechanical parameters.
