IX Bridge Plug
Unity’s bridge plug offers in-flow, thru-tubing deployment capability in working pressures up to 5,000psi, providing an API-11D V3 rated barrier.
With a flexible design, these retrievable or permanent sealing solutions can be tailored to your well to solve a variety of complex challenges. They offer operators a fast and cost-effective method of isolating unproductive well zones, re-instating integrity and supporting P&A operations.
This is an extremely compact, general utility plug that facilitates reliable sealing and retrieval. It has the shortest overall length in the industry and can be set using our compact Surface Intervention System for easier handling, a smaller site footprint and greater efficiency.
The slip assembly prevents debris ingress during deployment, then once at depth, the plug slips are set and the sealing element is energised. Once set, the element is boosted by well pressure and an integral beam spring ensures compensated packer load between the element and the slip system during pressure and temperature reversals.
The plug can be pulled using a common pulling tool and once located within the fish neck profile, jarring up disengages the setting mechanism. As the sealing element relaxes, its unique design enables active retraction of the slips and the element gauge rings for ease of retrieval.
