About
The Retrievable Inflatable Bridge Plug (RIBP) incorporates a valving system in conjunction with a Packer Element, which provides bi-directional sealing and anchoring. The RIBP is an innovative design with an equalization mechanism allowing the operator to equalize pressure across the Packer, before activating the deflation mechanism. There are several methods of deployment such as Drill Pipe, Coiled Tubing and Capillary Tube.
Features
• Available in a range of configurations allowing it to be conveyed, set and retrieved on drill pipe,
coiled tubing and capillary tube
• Equalization feature allowing any potential pressure across the packer to be equalized, prior to
deflation
• Can be deployed and retrieved in both saturated and depleted conditions
• Ball free setting, equalization and retrieval mechanisms
• Adaptable to a wide variety of inflation element sizes
• Inflation element construction features an external steel wire reinforcement layer designed to
maximize bi-directional anchoring whilst maintaining bi-directional sealing for optimal differential
pressure capability
• Suitable for cased and open hole
• High expansion capabilities
• Rated up to 5 000 psi and 302F
