Abstract

A two-stage packer and method for sealing an annulus in a wellbore is provided. The packer may be set by a force which will not cause a sealing element to buckle, collapse, or otherwise fail. In one aspect, the packer (100) comprises a body (102) having a sealing element (300) and shoulder (400) disposed there-around, and a slidable member (200) slidably arranged on the body, the slidable member having a first surface (233) disposable beneath the element to increase the inner diameter thereof and a second surface disposable against an end of the element to increase the outer diameter thereof. The method comprises running a body into the wellbore, the body comprising a sealing element and a slidable member slidably disposed there-around, wherein the slidable member comprises a first surface and a second surface; forcing the first surface beneath the element to increase the inner diameter thereof;
and forcing the second surface against an end of the element to increase the outer diameter thereof.
