Reservoir Optimization

A History of Excellence

TAM International was established in 1968 as a manufacturer of inflatable packer elements for various open-hole Drill Stem Test (DST) companies, and has continued as a leader in the continuous improvement of inflatable and swellable packer technologies.

Production Testing

Inflatable packers offer an advantage over conventional testing tools due to their versatility in single- or multiple-packer tool configurations in an open or cased hole. Inflatable testing tools can pair with different artificial lift methods to conduct buildup or injection falloff tests with downhole shut-in capability.

Smart Wells

TAM SMART FREECAP® swellable packers are combined with various Intelligent Well Completion Systems, Inflow Control Devices, Sand Control Screens, and Alternate Path Gravel Packing Systems to achieve zonal isolation and allow improved reservoir management over the well lifespan.

Screen/ICD

Screens and Inflow Control Devices (ICDs) optimize production rates and dramatically reduce the effect of sand production and water or gas breakthrough. TAM’s swellable FREECAP® packers ensure isolation, giving you a controlled flow management system.
