■■ Accommodates normal slickline side pocket devices. The side pocket also allows room for
operations through the tubing string the operation of running tools, pulling tools, and kickover
tools used to install and retrieve side pocket devices using
standard slickline methods. All KBM Series side pocket man-
drels are constructed of oval pipe, and most offer full tubing
drift ID to accommodate normal slickline operations through
the tubing string.
KBM and KBU Series mandrels
KBM and KBU Series mandrels have similar configurations.
All KBU Series mandrels have a reduced OD and ID to permit
installation in dual-string completions or heavyweight casing.
KBME Series mandrels
KBME mandrels are used primarily in chamber-lift instal-
lations and have an exhaust port at the bottom of the side
pocket. This port extends down and into the casing annulus
through a 1⁄2-in [12.7-mm] pipe connected to the top packer of
a chamber-lift installation. The KBME mandrels do not have
ports in the side pocket for communication with the tubing.
