CA 2165909

A slat-type inflatable packer includes a plurality of longitudinal metal slats on the exterior thereof which are partially overlapping to allow expansion of the packer element while providing a barrier against extrusion. In one embodiment each slat has narrow end portions and a wide central portion to provide greatly increased lateral stiffness as well as improved extrusion barrier and slat deployment characteristics, particularly in high expansion ratio packers, and in another embodiment such characteristics are further improved by upper and lower intermediate sections which are wider than such central portion.
