Three factors driving the development of retrievable bridge plugs

A new era of energy production demands a new generation of downhole plugs.

Traditional solid elastomer seals have been the mainstay of the industry in a wide range of sealing applications for over 75 years.

So why, after all that development, do operators have limited confidence in retrievable bridge plug services……and why do they still worry about significant cost over-runs due to failures and unplanned operations.

It’s because of concerns about the reliability of plug retrieval.

These real concerns are rooted in the three factors that have been driving the development of retrievable plugs in recent years:

  • a trend towards higher pressures and temperatures,
  • an increasing focus on gas production and therefore on gas rated plugs, and
  • a corresponding focus on higher regulatory standards and benchmarks for plug performance
