Abstract

A packer that is usable with a well includes a resilient seal element and a support member. The resilient seal element is adapted to radially expand in response to the longitudinal compression of the element. The support member is at least partially surrounded by the seal element and is adapted to radially expand with the seal element to support the element. The support sleeve is substantially harder than the seal element.
