Technical Focus
Retrievable Bridge Plugs and Complementary Downhole Technologies.
Temporary isolation, set and retrieved on demand.
A retrievable bridge plug is a downhole tool set inside casing to temporarily isolate one section of the wellbore from another. Mechanical slips anchor the tool against the casing wall, while a sealing element packs off the annulus to hold differential pressure.
RBPs are typically used during workover, stimulation, testing, and remedial operations — for example to isolate a lower zone while work is carried out above it. Once operations are complete, the plug is released and recovered to surface.
Portfolio status: our RBP portfolio is under development. We are currently evaluating manufacturing partners and solutions; no products are presented here as available or approved.
