The Product
The Medium Expansion Retrieveable Bridge Plug (ME)
The plug series has been tested to differential pressures up to 345 bar (5000 psi)* at temperatures up to 150 °C (302 °F)*. It's qualified in accordance with the ISO 14310:2008 international standard up to validation grade V0.
* Applies to certain sizes of ME plugs, please contact us for details.
Medium Expansion Bridge Plug with Prong (ME with Prong) was developed for high debris environments, where equalising and pulling can pose a challenge. The Prong is designed to be used as an add-on to the ME product line, allowing all ME Bridge Plugs to be easily converted to include the Prong module. The Prong module prevents debris from entering the ME Bridge Plug, and features a Junk Basket for the collection of debris.
Application
Medium Expansion Bridge Plug (ME)
The ME can be used as a temporary or permanent barrier. It's designed to withstand bidirectional pressure which allows the plug to be set in cross flow. It can be run as an isolation plug with the option of incorporating a Junk Extension, or it can be run as a packer with or without equalising. It's ideal for workover applications: well control barrier, packer for injection valve, fixed choke and more. It can be equalised and retrieved with standard GS in a single operation (no prong required), and it can be run on slickline, e-line, coiled tubing and pipe.
ME with Prong
The ME with Prong enables easy equalising and pulling of ME Bridge Plugs in high debris environments. It takes only one run to set, and retrieval is completed in two runs using the same standard GS. Retrieval is easy even when the prong is in overbalance. During retrieval, in the first run the prong is pulled and the plug is left equalised with an open ID down to the equalising ports. During the second run, the plug is pulled.
